Moroccan bank Chaabi is considering launching Sharia bank accounts in Belgium, reports La Libre Belgique.

Chaabi's Belgian branch says they're currently studying the idea and will soon consult the FSMA (Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission).

Former Finance Minister Didier Reynders supported Islamic banking, but the current minister, Steven Vanackere, hasn't yet stated his opinion.
