Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan adressess his supporters in front of a mosque after Friday prayers in Istanbul, Turkey, May 29, 2015. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said the launch of Ziraat Bank’s Islamic business should help to attract new funds to Turkey and urged other state lenders to help to triple Islamic banking’s share of the market by 2023. Islamic finance has developed slowly in Turkey, the world’s eighth most populous Muslim nation, partly because of political sensitivities and the secular nature of its laws. However, the landscape began to change in 2012, when the government issued its first $1.5 billion Islamic bond and kick-started regulatory moves to allow wider use of Islamic finance contracts.
