Abstract
Though overall economic performance in 2008 was the worst since the Great Depression, there is significant variation in the effect of this Global Crisis on each of the Islamic Banks and Conventional Banks.
This paper aims at studying the performance and profitability of “Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB)” during and after the crisis of 2008, then, it will be compared with the financial status of “Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB)” for the same period. The ratios and charts in this paper are calculated and formulated based on financial reports released by both banks on annual and quarterly basis.
