E. while the goals of the policies are pursued, they are simultaneously used to cultivate vested political and economic interests, a feature common during the NEP decades and when privatisation was actively promoted. These vested interests have hampered or undermined the effective development of important Islamic institutions, specifically those with a financial-welfare component.
