| description | Malaysia once replicated Bangladesh’s trail-blazer Grameen Bank to establish its Amanah Ikhtiar model of Islamic
banking for the poor. Now, it may also learn some useful things from Bangladesh’s Islamic Green Banking. In this
light, this study analysed the bankers’ perceptions of the green banking concept, its benefits, its complexities of
execution, and its possible relationship with Islamic banking. This is an empirical study of 48 Islamic bankers from
21 branches of seven Islamic banks located in Dhaka, Bangladesh employing structured questionnaires. Data
purification and analysis were carried out through a software SPSS version 1; and Henry Garrett’s ranking technique
was used to gauge the most influential factors. The analysis revealed that respective bankers perceived green banking
as an environmental banking that helped to protect the environment despite its high adoption cost. Also, green
banking and Islamic banking were perceived to be compatible and interlinked as Islam supports resource savings,
cleanliness, ethics and social responsibility all of which are also the mottos of Green Banking. |
