THREATS
-      A fully fledged Islamic bank may require more seed capital than a window operation;
-      May be perceived as "made for Muslims only";
-      Different accounting standards may have to be:
o   adopted
o   and followed;
-      Dearth of experienced talent equipped with Islamic finance know-how.
