Case Study about Islamic Microfinance and Socially Responsible Investments
This paper aims to focus on different issues: whether the economic behavior can be influenced by the predominant religious belief, the role of Islamic finance in Muslim societies nowadays but most of all its potential to fight poverty in those countries belonging to the so called developing world, when related with important economic development tools such as microfinance.

Strange enough, even if the interest is high, there are very few examples of actual MFIs operating in the field of Islamic finance and Islamic banks involved in microfinance.
