Dr. Amina Omar Mohamud

Abstract: This paper explores the role of Islamic banks in facilitating Somalia?s post-conflict economic recovery, emphasizing financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure investment. Drawing on qualitative analysis of secondary sources, including academic literature, policy documents, and reports from global financial institutions, the study highlights how Islamic banking aligns with Somalia?s socio-religious values and supports economic revitalization. Despite its promise, Islamic banking in Somalia faces regulatory and capacity-related challenges. The paper concludes with policy recommendations to strengthen Islamic financial institutions and enhance their contribution to sustainable recovery.
