See All Economics and Finance Courses Economics is the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. It studies how individuals, businesses, governments and nations make choices on allocating resources to satisfy their wants and needs, and tries to determine how these groups should organize and coordinate efforts to achieve maximum output. Specifically, economists may analyze issues such as consumer demand and sales to help a company maximize its profits. They also conduct research, collect and analyze data, monitor economic trends, and develop forecasts on a wide variety of issues, including energy costs, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, business cycles, taxes, and employment levels, among others.
See All Islamic Finance Courses Islamic banking is a banking system that is based on the principles of Islamic law, also referred to as Shariah law, and guided by Islamic economics. Two basic principles behind Islamic banking are the sharing of profit and loss and, significantly, the prohibition of the collection and payment of interest by lenders and investors. Collecting interest or "riga" is not permitted under Islamic law. Since this system of banking is grounded in Islamic principles, all the undertakings of the banks follow Islamic morals.
