Abstract

This paper aims to make a critical synthesis of several articles to identify both the convergences and the divergences between researchers on the question of stability and efficiency of Islamic banks compared to conventional banks. Our work identifies the methodologies mobilized by researchers to compare Islamic and classical banks in terms of stability and efficiency. Although Sharia-compliant financial institutions hold only 1.5% of the assets of the international banking system, they are growing strongly. Articles on comparison have developed in recent decades. Articles on comparison have developed in recent decades. However, a limited number of literature reviews have been conducted in this area and none of them deals with the comparative stability and efficiency of Islamic and classical banks.
