An ijara contract is an agreement whereas a lessor (mu ajjir) leases a physical asset or property to a lessee (musta jir) who receives the benefits associated with ownership of the asset against payment of predetermined rentals. Ijara is for a known time period. Utilized by banks to provide customers with short to medium-term financing leases The asset is owned by the bank and is leased to the user. Typically the lessor is required to obtain insurance. Source: Pricewaterhousecoopers 17

22 Islamic Banking and Finance: Sukuk Overview Sukuk is a Shariah compliant capital market instrument By nature, it is analogous to conventional asset backed securities (with several exceptions) Business activities/assets that would be used as underlying assets backing the Sukuk would need to be Shariah-compliant. The proceeds of the Sukuk must be used for Shariah-compliant purposes only Sukuk can be issued under various structures The primary subscriber can resell the Sukuk in the secondary market; the secondary market buyer will be the new pro-rata beneficial owner of the underlying assets Source: HSBC Analysis (17 November 2008) 21

29 Islamic Banking and Finance: the Funds The mandates for Islamic funds are widening and becoming more global. In 2002, 45 % of Islamic funds were mandated to Asian securities, whilst 32 % more were focused on GCC regional securities. In 2007, 33 % of Islamic funds ran Asian mandates of which only 24 % were GCC funds. As research and analysis has widened and the index providers have started to create new series and subsets of Shariah compliant indices, so other markets come into play In 2007, 2 % of Islamic funds were Emerging Market funds. 28
30 Sharia Compliant Mutual Funds Improved coverage across asset classes and geographical mandates: 2008: over 500 Sharia compliant funds in the world Forecast: the number will reach 1,000 funds by 2010, CAGR of 24 % for the period 2007 to Equities remains dominant: allocation of 52 % for the Sharia compliant universe ( 42 % in conventional universe) Fixed income is underdeveloped: 7% for the Sharia universe (22 % in conventional universe) 29

36 Growth drivers In some countries with majority Muslim populations (Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia) the takaful market is at an embryonic stage. Untapped markets: insurance penetration is below 2% of GDP in the Middle East Region The global takaful industry is growing at 20% per year, far outstripping the 2.5% annual growth for conventional insurance premiums Moody s has predicted that global takaful premiums will rise to $7bn by Source: PWC, Takaful: Growth opportunities in a dynamic market*
37 Untapped market potential Potential customer base: world s 1.5 billion Muslims Bulk of the world s Muslim population is young: 60% of the global Muslim population is under 25 years of age. The potential to be a customer for 40 years or more. Takaful products must be price competitive with conventional insurance products; Takaful is inherently ethical and is obliged to invest in sustainable investments. Further, it distributes the annual retakaful surplus back to the policyholders. Source: PWC, Takaful: Growth opportunities in a dynamic market*

44 What s driving the demand? As far as IFIs are concerned, Moodys expect more (August 2008 Islamic Finance Notable Trends): Geographic diversification Operating diversification New entrants and competition De-correlation with oil prices 43
45 What s driving the demand? Product penetrations are low and indicate sizeable headroom for growth GCC population is still young with sizeable underserved segments Customers are seeking more tailored segmented proposition but banks are currently fosuced on a few Beyond topline, banks have opportunities to improve profitability through other efficiency levers Source WIBCR McKinsey 44

47 Notable Trends There are many reasons why new Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) have been mushrooming across the board: i) booming and profitable market naturally attracts new entrants because excess demand needs to meet additional supply; ii) retail banking in the Middle East was discovered in the 1990s and there's still a lot to do, where IFIs can offer attractive solutions; iii) governments have been very supportive of the Islamic financial industry. Asset-backed, infrastructure, and project finance is naturally in line with the principle of Islamic finance, just like mortgage lending. 46
48 Overview of the Global Islamic Market Islamic Financial Marketplace Sources of Funds Islamic banks have EU footprint through UK More than two thirds of Islamic funds are from the Middle East SE Asian Islamic Marketplace experienced rapid expansion 1.3 billion Muslims (20% of population) Fastest growing and one of the most active religions Source: 47
49 Islamic Banking and Finance: Fast track growth in Europe Islamic retail products appeared in the UK in the 1990s In 2009, with over $18 billion in Shariah compliant assets The UK comes 8th in The Banker s league table of Islamic assets worldwide In 2009, the UK hosts: 5 Islamic banks: (Islamic Bank of London and the Middle East (BLME) will focus on London Stock Exchange listing in 2010; Islamic Bank of Britain,...) over 20 conventional banks with Islamic windows, 1 stand-alone Shariah compliant insurance provider; at least 9 fund managers providing opportunities for investment in Shariah compliant funds 1 Shariah compliant hedge fund manager; the exchange upon which almost half of all global sukuk by value are listed 48
50 Europe: Investment and Retail banks in progress 3 Middle East banks are submitting their applications to the French authorities: the Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) the Kuwait Finance House, Al Baraka Islamic Bank, from Bahrain. Crédit Agricole and Nomura plans launching sharia compliant funds domiciled in Luxembourg. Société Générale has done a couple of sharia compliant products in Reunion BNP Paribas has a long standing presence in Bahrain and plans importing its investment banking experience into the French market 49
51 Islamic Banking and Finance: Fast track growth in Europe Example of cooperation between Luxembourg and the GCC region In January 2009, Deutsche Bank launched Al Mi yar, a first-of-its-kind platform aimed at facilitating the issuance of Shariah compliant securities. The idea of Al Mi yar came about due to the Islamic investment space still being undersupplied, let alone underdeveloped. Domiciled in Luxembourg,the platform was developed by DB with Luxembourg Financial Group as its Shariah investment manager and DB s Trust & Securities Services group providing the settlement framework. 50
52 Luxembourg attractive to institutional investors The Luxembourg Stock Exchange was the first European stock exchange to enter the sukuk market, having listed sukuk since In September 2008, 14 sukuk with a combined value of USD 5.5 billion were listed and traded on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. In September 2008 there were 31 shariah compliant investment funds held in 17 Luxembourg domiciled investment vehicles. Several large funds are in the process of being launched. Luxembourg is recognised globally as a world class financial centre; it is the second largest investment fund centre in the world after the Unites States, with almost EUR 2 billion under management. 51
53 Sample of Sharia Compliant funds domiciled in Luxembourg 52
54 Conclusion joint ventures/strategic alliances with more experienced GCC operators/providers European FIs like BNP, Credit Agricole, DB moving in to the regional GCC and SE Asian Sharia compliant mkts. NCB has an investment banking and asset mgt alliance with Goldman Sachs and plans to establish a UCITs sharia compliant funds family in Europe. Nomura has also established a Sharia compliant funds family in Lux. Increasing competition now between DIFC, Bahrain, Lux and Dublin to attract this business. Lux can offer an Islamic Banking and Fund admin experise, create a Training academy, provide Islamic research funding and facilities, legal fund structures for Private Equity, Real Estate and multi-mgr funds UNTAPPED POTENTIAL FOR ISLAMIC FINANCE IN EUROPE 53
