He received the support, so I think that in the coming months we will attract resources under the laws of Islamic Finance. This will increase the volume of investments, primarily in the leased area. We have seen a positive assessment of investors. Those projects that we proposed in the first place are construction, investment and leasing and they found approval, " he said at a press conference yesterday.

But without seeing some kind of response from the market, were did not invest seriously in this. The amount of deposits is small - about 200 thousand manat," said the financier, noting that while the bank developed a direction associated with the deposits within Islamic Banking before, investment projects will be developed from now on.
