English Abstract

After passing through the decades with a great effort, Islamic economics has currently taken place as a newly-developed body knowledge, which provides new insight of economic analyses in the modern world.

This is indicated by the fast growth of the literatures available in many languages, apart from mushrooming the Islamic banking and financial institutions.

This paper provides discussion on the process of the latest development of Islamic economics by analyzing abstracts and/or outlines of about 5 thousand literatures available—in English, Arabic and Malay/Indonesian—in the Islamic economic database of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Library.

The result shows that studies of banking and finance remain to lead the growth of the literatures, followed by the invigorating theories and methodology, fiscal policy, trade, and development.

It is thought that faster expansion of financial markets and institutions in the world will attract more studies on those subjects, which will further dominate the bulk of the literatures in Islamic economics.
