Abstract
The recent expansion of Islamic banks raises questions on its economic implications. The aim of
this paper is to investigate the impact of Islamic banking development on access to credit. We
combine data from a unique hand-collected database that covers Islamic banks with firm-level
data covering developing and emerging countries over the period of 2006 to 2009. We find that
Islamic banking development has overall no impact on credit constraints, while banking
development and conventional banking development alleviate obstacles to financing. However
Islamic banking development exerts a positive impact on access to credit when conventional
banking development is low. Hence we support the view that Islamic banking does not overall
alleviate obstacles to financing, but it can act as substitute to conventional banking.
