Supplementary notes

* IFCI is based on a multivariate analysis. For construction of the index, data was collected on a number of variables, including macroeconomic indicators of the countries included. The data was then tested to see if it contained any meaningful information to draw conclusions from. After consideration of different multivariate methods, it was decided to use factor analysis to identify the factors that may influence Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) in the countries included in the sample. These variables include number of Islamic banks, number of IBFIs, Sharia supervisory regime, Islamic financial assets, Muslim population, sukuk, education and culture and Islamic regulation and law.
