About Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is a West African country with a population of over 8.6 million and an economy gradually recovering and expanding, driven mainly by agriculture, mining, fisheries, trade, and small-scale private sector activity. The financial system is regulated by the Bank of Sierra Leone and consists of commercial banks, community banks, microfinance institutions, and fast-growing mobile money operators that support financial inclusion, especially in rural areas. While conventional banking remains dominant and financial depth is still limited, national policies increasingly focus on inclusion, digital finance, and SME support. Given the country’s majority-Muslim population and rising awareness of ethical finance, there is a clear opportunity for the structured introduction of Islamic banking, Islamic microfinance, and takaful to complement existing services and support inclusive, socially responsible economic growth in Sierra Leone.
