UK 2010 The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 Order 2010 was introduced by Treasury to support Islamic finance and the issuance of corporate sukuk within the UK The UK Government launched an Islamic Finance Task Force with the aim of securing London s status as the Western hub for Islamic finance London hosted the World Islamic Economic Forum during which the UK Prime Minister announced plans to issue a Sukuk in 2014 and to turn London into a global center of Islamic finance.

12 II. How Islamic Banking Works? 12

13 Theoretical foundations of Islamic Financial System Risk Sharing Reduction of Information Asymmetry (Gharar) * Prohibits contracts with high uncertainty (Speculation/Gambling) * Requires Full Disclosure before, during and after the contract Prohibition of Interest (Riba) Eliminates Debt contracts and Leverage Materiality Economic and Social Justice Wealth, Ownership and Property Rights Preservation of Property Rights, Protection of Property Rights of Stakeholders, Significance of Rights of the Society The role of Wealth, Money, and Capital, Sanctity of Contracts

14 How a banking system is designed without Interest? Prohibition of interest discourages debt and leverage Risk sharing Because interest is prohibited, pure debt security is eliminated from the system and therefore suppliers of funds become investors, rather than creditors. The provider of financial capital and the entrepreneur share business risks in return for shares of the profits and losses. Close linkage with the Real Sector of the economy Promotes Asset-backed Finance The system introduces a materiality aspect that links financing directly with the underlying asset so that the financing activity is linked to the real sector activity. There is strong linkage between the performance of the asset and the return on the capital used to finance it. Similarities with ethical and Socially Responsible Investments (SRIs). 14

15 Commonality: Ethical Investing Substantively: Islamic finance is ethical finance and investing. Consider: Lutheran funds, Roman Catholic funds, green funds, university investment programs (WARF-UW; UC-Berkley). No investments in: Production or distribution of alcohol for human consumption Production of tobacco for human consumption Gambling Prostitution and pornography Defense and weapons Pornography Add constraint on interest-based debt => Islamic investment

Ijarah Leasing A sale contract that is not the sale of a tangible asset but rather a sale of the usufruct (the right to use the object) for a specified period of time. An economic agent with capital (rabbul-mal) can develop a partnership with another agent Mudarabah Trustee finance (mudarib) with skills to form a partnership with the agreement to share the profits.

Murabahah A cost-plus-sale contract A cost-plus-sale contract where a financier purchases a product, that is, a commodity, raw material or supplied, for an entrepreneur who does not have its own capital to do so. The financier and the entrepreneur agree on a profit margin, often referred to as a mark-up which is added to the cost of the product. The payment is delayed for a specified period of time. Musharakah Equity Equity partnership. It is a hybrid of Shiraka (partnership) and Mudarabah combining the act partnership. of investment and management.
