Bank Negara Governor Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said Malaysia has proven that Islamic finance is not only contribute to financial stability, but also show an increasing number of economic sectors to participate in the financial system. She said the Islamic finance is extremely favorable to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as micro-credit, the agency Bernama. This has led to an increase in the diversification of the financial system, which will increase its flexibility and stability. Secondly, it is possible to expand our country’s international relations. In the current liberalisation and globalisation, the Islamic finance system is in anticipation of the opening of a new quality of international financial relations that exist in the world economy.
