While the IFSI remains resilient, the balance of risks has shifted to the downside, underscoring the importance of heightened vigilance, forward-looking supervision, and proactive risk management. Of course, these must also be supported by robust regulatory frameworks and continued international cooperation.

At USD 4.4 trillion in asset, Islamic finance is growing. But growth without structural clarity carries its own risks.

IFSB's Islamic Financial Stability Report 2026 places hybrid risks at the centre of the stability agenda. Instruments replicating conventional credit-like exposures have driven rapid expansion across Islamic banking, but in doing so, altered risk profiles, widened regulatory gaps, and created arbitrage opportunities that existing prudential frameworks do not fully capture. The implications are both institutional and systemic.
