Dissertation Project
As a country that allows conventional and Islamic financial institutions to operate, Saudi Arabia, needs to maintain a regime that assures equal opportunities and fair competition among all market participants to cope with the growing demand for financing and to diversify the economy. The thesis aims to propose the necessary regulatory and structural reforms the existing Saudi banking system should undertake in the light of modern international financial regulation and Islamic finance.
