UK Treasury Introduces Yet More Legislation in Support of Islamic Finance PDF Print E-mail
Written by www.globalislamicfinancemagazine.com   
Friday, 22 January 2010 07:45
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.

Sharia'a Scholar: Sukuk Market Merely Taking a Rest PDF Print E-mail
Written by globalislamicfinancemagazine.com   
Wednesday, 20 January 2010 08:03
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."

Shariah Paramaters of Islamic Derivatives in Islamic banking and Finance PDF Print E-mail
Written by Sherin Kunhibava   
Monday, 18 January 2010 07:54
The word “derivative” is a relatively new term in the commercial world; its first usage in the courts took place only in 1982 in the US, and 1995 in the UK (Swan 2000). “Derivatives” has been defined as ‘…a financial instrument whose value depends on the value of other, more basic variables’, (Hull 2005 p.1). “Derivative” is therefore a generic term that classifies instruments that display the same features.
Common derivative instruments in conventional finance include “forwards”, “futures” “options” and “swaps”.
 
The usage of derivatives in Islamic finance has been highly objected to. In fact, apart from scholars such as Kamali (1996, 1997), the overwhelming majority of scholars in Islamic finance believe that forwards, futures, options, and swaps as they are currently used and traded in conventional finance are impermissible in Islamic
finance (for example: DeLorenzo n.d.; Mahmassani 1983; OIC Fiqh Academy 2000; Usmani 1996; Wilson 2007). One academic succinctly summarises the dilemma of derivative usage in Islamic finance: “Options and futures contracts cannot be traded under SharÊÑah, as they are too remote from the underlying assets … The concern in Islam is with gharar (contractual uncertainty)” (Wilson 2007, p.14).

However, due to the need for risk management tools (Bacha 1999), “Islamic” derivatives have been created and are now being used in the Islamic financial industry. These derivative-like products
use SharÊÑah -approved contracts and instruments, such as, inter alia, waÑd, tawarruq, and murÉbaÍah. The structure of the Islamic derivatives uses a combination of the abovementioned contracts. How
these Islamic derivatives work and how they are used are not well known or understood. Further, unlike ÎukËk, there are no standards that have been passed by AAOIFI. This means that SharÊÑah parameters
have not been standardised for the industry, on these instruments.

George Soros, Sillicon Valley dan Ekonomi Syariah PDF Print E-mail
Written by Berly Martawardaya

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.

ISRA Sets the Pace in Shariah Research in Finance PDF Print E-mail
Written by Isra.my   
Sunday, 17 January 2010 08:47
Whether it is at the Islamic Finance Summit held at the Cercle de l’Union Interalliée in Paris, France, or a lively open fatwa session at the Islamic Retail Banking Conference (IRBC) 2009 held in Dubai or the 1st Euro-Arab Real Estate Conference held in Barcelona, Spain, all held over the last two or three months, it is certain that a “new kid on the block” will be a key participant.

The International Shariah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) — the Shariah research entity of Bank Negara Malaysia, the central bank, armed with a trust of 200 million ringgits and led by Shariah scholar and executive director Mohammed Akram Laldin — is fast making its mark in an industry segment not known for its convergence or purpose of unity. ISRA, under its mandate, is dedicated to promoting applied research in the area of Shariah and Islamic finance.
