Anecdotal evidence suggests that this is being done for both ease of use, not to mention increased costs of print and production. The core collection websites, coming from Bahrain, Mauritania, Qatar, Turkey and Yemen, represent national financial ministries and banks and are especially valuable as to demonstrate transparency and the conditions in the country/region during a time of global economic change, and, in some cases, while embroiled in conflict. The content preserved is especially valuable for understanding the application of Islamic banking and finance at the national level.
