Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents the results of phase one of a two-phase research work about the opportunities and challenges of Islamic banking in Lebanon. It is motivated by the fact that in 12 years, only four Islamic banks are operating in the country with less than 1 % market share. Phase one is an open-ended exploration using interviews with ten key informants and industry experts in a qualitative approach. In phase two (in process), the panel of key informants will be expanded and the interviews will be structured and semi-structured. It is hoped that this research will contribute toward better development of the Islamic banking industry in the country.
