Challenging issues in AQAD-based Islamic Finance Products • Benchmaking profit rate against interest rate (LIBOR, KLIBOR). • Profit Equalization Reserve (PER) – displaced commercial risk • Sale with condition to buyback at predetermined price between two and three parties. • Profit generated over installment payments – time value of money • Penalties on delayed payments • Benchmaking sukuk rates against LIBOR • Musharakah with Purchase undertakings – fixed profit to one party only. • Ijarah Sukuk - Sale with repurchase agreement at par value and not mark-to market • Ijarah Sukuk – Ownership of asset by SPV • Profit-rate swaps – speculation or gambling?

Sale (Al-Bay’) Buyer & Seller Transfer of Ownership from Buyer to Seller Property Price set on the spot
Contract of Sale • Example: Murabaha/BBA Sale 1. Buyer and Seller eg. Seller owns asset/subject matter before making sale 2. Subject matter eg. Mal mutaqawim – property with usurfruct 3. Price eg. Set on the spot 4. Offer & Acceptance eg. Verbal or in writing
Method #2: Maqasid al. Shariah/Objective of Shariah To protect the interest of the public (society)- maslahah alammah by: 1. removing the harm ( ibqa) 2. securing of benefits (tahsil)
#2 Maqasid Method Maqasid Shariah Removing the Harm Securing of Benefit
Objective of Shariah Islamic financial products as defined by AQAD methodology, should contain more benefits (masalih) and less or no harm (madarah). “ in gambling (maisir) and liqour (qimar), there are some sins and some profits. But the sins are greater than the profits” (Al-Baqarah: 168).

Maqasid • 1. 2. 3. 4. To analyse(theoretical) and measure( empirical) impacts of financial intermediation based on aqad-based Shariah compliant products. Efficiency studies Profitability studies Studies on Consumer welfare and protection Studies on Financial stability
Maqasid – protecting public interest. • Aqad-based products (ABP) SHOULD contain more benefits and less harm. • What if, it was proven than they (ABP) contain more harm than good? eg. Abandon projects – customer cannot make recourse against bank as selling party? Defaulted BBA customer are required to make settlement based on the selling price. Sale with no transfer of ownership. Giving away clean inah personal financing at high profit rates– a way towards subprime inah? Conflict between Aqad and Maqasid?
Method #3: Financial Reporting • Proper recording of transactions to evident TRUE SALE. • BBA – bank must put BBA asset on balance sheet prior to sale. I week, 1 month it depends. • Once sold, it is recorded as BBA receivables. • AITAB assets should be on banking book as leasing assets but now treated as “financing and advances”. • External auditors (PWC, KPMG etc. ) are not required by the authority to conduct Shariah audit. And they may not be not capable to do so. Conflict between AQAD and financial reporting?

Method #4: Legal Documentation • BBA should be documented as a true sale and not as a loan. (Dato’ Nik vs. BIMB) • Ijarah should be documented as operating lease and not a loan (Tinta Press vs. BIMB) • Islamic bank has not practice fairness compared with conventional bank (Affin bank vs Zulkifli).

Why Islamic bonds? Muslim Faith Project finance, refinancing Economic growth. Reduce dependency on bank loans Mopping up excess liquidity in Islamic banks and other IFIs. • All markets can buy – Muslim and non-Muslim markets • • •
Conventional Securitization • Securitization is the conversion of assets in marketable securities. • Involving a true sale • Asset – financial assets such as loan receivables. • Fixed income and capital protection
Islamic securitization • IPDS - conversion of physical asset into marketable securities. • No true sale • Fixed income and capital protection • Contract – bay al-inah • Redemption – bay al-dayn at par value • Trading bay al-dayn at discount

BBA Islamic debt securities (BAIDS) Issuer’s debt = dayn BBA “ Issuer’s debt arising out of buying and selling transactions to be securitized via the issuance of primary and secondary notes” (The Securities Commission of Malaysia)
Islamic bonds: Legal Documentation • • Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) Asset Sale Agreement (ASA) Trust Deeds Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement
Islamic bonds: Legal Documentation • Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) : The primary subscribers will purchase from the issuer the underlying asset at the purchase price • Asset Sale Agreement (ASA): The underlying asset sold to the subscribers at a selling price which shall be made up of the original price and profit margin to be imposed by the primary subscriber.
Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of the Securities commission. “ If the structure is based on securitization of Islamic debt, then the question of underlying asset is very crucial – definition and qualification of asset, free from any encumbrance, syariah complaint asset, asset that can be traded on deferred payment that creates indebtness, sale of asset and transfer of ownership, fixed income if the securities were to be traded at the secondary market, on the basis of mudarabah or musyarakah”. See Mohd Daud Bakar, Structuring Islamic PDS : Role of Independent Syariah Advisers, Securities Seminar of Islamic PDS, Commission, Malaysia 2001.
Bay’ al-’inah : Real (Bathin) vs Declared (Zahir) Intention SHARIAH DIVERGENCE: 1) Bay’ al-’inah is a legal sale in the Shafi’ school, in which it says the intention or niyyah is not a significant element in determining the validity of a contract. This is the viewpoint taken up by the Shariah scholars in Malaysian Central Bank (BNM) and the Securities Commission. 2) The central issue here is none other than the distinction between real and declared intentions. According to Rayner, “It may be concluded that the Malikis and Hanafis give due effect to the real intention or niyyah of the parties, but that as regards illicit motives both schools are reluctant to make such an uncertain element as motive a dependent factor of a legal act. The Hanbali school however, always gives precedence to real intention over declared intention. In general, the tendency of Muslims law seems to be to give priority to the declared intention. Indeed, in the Shafi’ school, this is not just a tendency but a doctrinal stance”. This is because the methodology of Islamic law in the Al-Shafi school strives to secure “the stability of contract”. The doctrinal stance however does not mean that the Shafie school endorses and promotes bay enah.

What is a Trust Certificate? • Certificate issued by the Trustee (custodian) of Purchased asset (SPV). • SPV serves as a trustee to investors in so far as management of asset is concerned. • SPV as a trustee manages the asset to generate earnings for the investors. • SPV leases asset to government to generate rental income for investors.
Sukuk Musharakah • The originator or the company looking to expand its operation, own some assets (land etc) and is looking forward to develop it through the issuance of Sukuk and approach the market in order to secure the needed capital by entering into musharakah with the Issuer of the Sukuk and a trustee of the Sukukholders
Sukuk Musharakah • • A SPV representing the Sukukholders through the issuance of Musharakah sukuk (MS) will enter into a Musharakah agreement with the Originator. The SPV company that issues the MS will contribute x% of the capital in cash while the Originator will contribute y% of the capital in kind in the form of vehicles, real estates or any other kind of assets which be valued at their actual value. The proceeds of the MS will be used by the SPV to make its contributions to the Musharakah Profits will be distributed among partners in proportion to respective capital contributions The Originator will undertake management of the Musharakah under separate management agreement In case if the profit exceed certain percentage agreed upon in the management agreement, the Manager is entitled to such excess amount to bonus or incentive fees in consideration for its good management. The Originator will give an irrevocable undertaking to purchase the Units of the SPV in the Musharakah pool under the declining Musharakah concept or at maturity in a way that the entire Musharakah units are eventually owned by the Originator at a price equivalent to the original contribution of the SPV to the Musharakah pool. Originator to buy the units from the SPV in Musharakah at face value at pre-agreed price and not the market price has raised differences of opinion among Jurists.
Opponents of MS • Under partnership, partner A cannot guarantee the capital of partner B, yet through the purchase undertaking at face value of Musharakah Sukuk structures effectively just do that.
