To achieve this, we assessed the financial performance of some selected Islamic and conventional banks in the UAE, by measuring their profitability, liquidity, risk and efficiency for the period 2009-2013. We made use of ten (10) important performance ratios to measure the financial performance of the banks in terms of their profitability, liquidity, risk and efficiency. The ratios includes Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Profit Expense Ratio (PER), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), Loan to Asset Ratio (LAR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DTAR), and Debt to Total Asset Ratio (DTAR). Other ratios used include Interest Expense Ratio (IER), Operating Efficiency (OE) and Asset Utilization (AU). The performance of the banks were analysed using the 10 ratios by the banks inter-sectional ratio analysis technique, t-test analysis and regression comparing the results of the 2 set of banks to determine which of the bank performed better than the other. The study concluded from the results of the banks analysed that the Islamic banks are more profitable, more efficient and more liquid. However, both banks appeared to be indifferent in terms of credit risk. en University of Namibia Financial performance Banks and banking Banks and banking, United Arab Emirates Finance Finance, United Arab Emirates Financial performance of Islamic and conventional banks in the United Arab Emirates: A comparative study Thesisopen.access
