In banking, the ASEAN market’s increasingly free flow of products and services will open up growth opportunities in both retail and wholesale. Brunei with its Islamic Banking Order 2008 expected to gain a 55%-60% share of all banking assets in the country; in Indonesia, after a developmental plan namely the Blueprint of Islamic Banking Development, the country’s commitment was followed by the enactment of the National Act No.21/2008, ratified in July 2008, which provides an adequate legal foundation for the development of Islamic banking; while in Malaysia, to further improve the banking legislation of the industry, It has enacted a new comprehensive Act, the Islamic Financial Services Act that has come into effect in June 2013; The Philippines’ central bank, on the other hand, is pushing several important initiatives in legislation, regulation and taxation to promote Islamic banking in the country; while in Singapore Islamic banking institutions are regulated through a number of amendments to existing regulations and several related guidelines; finally, in Thailand today there is only one Islamic bank operating in the country: the state-owned Islamic Bank of Thailand, established in 2002 under its own banking regulation.
