Negara-negara Islam di Asia Tengah dan Indonesia dinilai sebagai wilayah pertumbuhan industri perbankan syariah global selanjutnya. Kedua wilayah tersebut dilihat sebagai pasar potensial setelah pasar Barat dan wilayah Teluk Arab kehilangan kepercayaan pasar.
“Selama beberapa tahun wilayah itu dilihat sebagai area yang potensial,” kata Pimpinan Strategis M&A Unicorn Investment Bank, Frederick Stonehouse. Bank-bank asal Teluk melihat wilayah Asia Tenggara sebagai wilayah terpenting untuk ekspansi. Al Baraka Banking Group pun sedang dalam pembicaraan untuk membeli sebuah bank di Indonesia dan Unicorn Investment Bank telah menyatakan minatnya membeli saham Dubai Group di Bank Islam Malaysia.

Below are some important and interesting findings on Indonesian Islamic financial cooperatives known as Baitul Maal wat Tamweel (BMTs). The findings are based on a sample survey of 80 Islamic financial cooperatives (BMTs) from West Java, Indonesia. My comments are in bold and I would appreciate receiving feedback on further studies that address the issues. InshaAllah I would post a full literature survey on this subject soon for the benefit of members.
1.BMTs are mostly promoted by educated persons, teachers in many cases, who are apparently motivated by their concern for economic betterment of the community.

 The sharia'a scholar Dr. Hussain Hamed Hassan has said that the global sukuk market is not dead, but is merely taking a rest.
In an interview with Emirates Business 24/7, Dr. Hussain discussed topical issues in Islamic finance such as sukuk trading, the Islamic banking industry and risk management. When it was put to him that the sukuk market is nearly dead, he retorted, "the market is not dead, rather the sukuk market is taking rest and before six months from now, I am sure, we will start hearing about new issues hitting the market." |

 The UK Treasury has introduced measures in Parliament to continue the Government's proactive support of Islamic finance in Britain. The new legislation will also facilitate the issuance of corporate sukuk within the country.
The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 Order 2010 will assist in the provision of a level playing field for corporate sukuk within the UK. The Order provides clarity on the regulation of corporate sukuk, minimising the legal costs associated with this type of investment and eliminating unnecessary obstacles to issuance of the Islamic paper. |

 Siapa tidak kenal Silicon Valley? Setiap orang yang serius mengamati perputaran bisnis dan teknologi dunia pasti pernah mendengar kota kecil di dekat Stanford University yang menjadi pusat pertumbuhan teknologi informasi global selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Bahkan negara-negara lain mencoba meniru konsep Silicon Valley seperti Malaysia dengan Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) dan India di Bangalore.
Tapi tidak banyak yang mengetahui bahwa Silicon Valley dibangun bukan oleh para bank besar tapi oleh Venture Capital (VC). Para venture capitalist mencari para penemu kreatif dengan ide serta teknologi baru tapi tidak memahami dinamika dunia usaha dan tidak memiliki modal lalu mempersiapkan mereka untuk membangun perusahaan profesional untuk menjual saham melalui IPO (Initial Public Offering) dalam periode 5-7 tahun.
Para pemodal ini adalah gabungan investor institusional dan individu yang ingin melihat bukan hanya keuntungan tapi juga kepuasan telah memunculkan usaha baru. Mereka bisa saja menempatkan uangnya di bank konvensional dan menikmati bunga setiap saat tanpa perlu kuatir dengan banyak hal. Tapi mereka memilih untuk menyeleksi proposal yang datang secara saksama dan mengembangkan bersama pemilik ide dalam periode yang cukup panjang demi kesejahteraan bersama. |
