The Largest Banks Rankings

2021
2020
2019

This year’s evaluation covers the 100 largest Islamic banks from 23 countries, and financial information in the first half of financial year 2020 (1H FY2020) was collated and incorporated into the assessment of how Islamic banks performed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Saudi Arabia-based Al Rajhi Bank has retained its top spot as the largest Islamic bank. Its total assets expanded by 13% year-on-year (YoY) to reach $111 billion at the end of 1H FY2020. Dubai Islamic Bank places second in the ranking of the largest Islamic banks. The bank posted a strong asset growth of 29% after its acquisition of Noor Bank, this is 20% higher than that of Kuwait Finance House, the third largest Islamic bank. Maybank Islamic, the largest Islamic bank in Asia, places fourth in the ranking, while Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt is the largest in Africa, with total assets of $6.8 billion.

At the aggregate level, total assets of Islamic banks on the list stood at $1.03 trillion, compared to $903.9 billion in the previous year’s evaluation, which was based on data in FY 2018. The overall profitability of Islamic banks weakened amid the pandemic. Aggregate net profit was down from $6.7 billion in 1H FY2019 to $5.3 billion in 1H FY2020. The aggregate total assets of Islamic banks from Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar account for 77% of the total assets of the 100 largest Islamic banks. Bahrain and Indonesia combined have 7.9% share of total bank assets, although there are 26 Islamic banks from these two countries.
