In many developing and emerging economies, access to finance remains one of the most serious obstacles to business growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which form the backbone of employment and innovation, often struggle to obtain long-term and affordable funding. Conventional commercial banks usually prioritize short-term profitability and risk minimization, leaving many productive business projects underfinanced. In this context, Islamic development finance has emerged as a powerful alternative for supporting real economic activity.
