Title: BANKING SECTOR PERFORMANCE: ISLAMIC AND CONVENTIONAL BANKS IN THE UAE
Abstract: The purpose of this empirical study is to analyze and compare the performance of Islamic and conventional banking in United Arab of Emirates using financial ratio analysis (FRA), to find out which of the banking streams performs better than the other. We used panel data for both Islamic and conventional banks in the UAE during the period (2008-2014), to statistically test the performance of 11 conventional banks and 5 Islamic banks. Financial ratios are estimated from annual reports and financial statements, to measure performance represented by profitability, liquidity, solvency and credit risk. Findings of the study indicate the superiority of conventional banks over Islamic ones in profitability, credit risk management as well as solvency.
