THE BASICS OF ISLAMIC FINANCE 15 15
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC FINANCE (1) The rules regarding Islamic finance can be summed up in the following points: 1. In a loan transaction (qard hassan), any predetermined payment over and above the actual amount of principal is prohibited. Making money from money is not acceptable: money is only a medium of exchange, a way of defining the value of a thing. It has no value in itself, and therefore should not be allowed to give rise to more money. 2. For other transactions, the lender must share in some risks or in the profits or losses arising out of the enterprise for which the money was lent. 3. In debt finance instruments other than loans (such as Ijara or leasing) a markup is charged in representation of the service delivered to the client. 16
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC FINANCE (2) 4. Uncertainty or speculation (gharar) is also prohibited: the rationale behind the prohibition is the wish to protect the weak from exploitation. Therefore, options and futures are considered as un. Islamic and so are forward foreign exchange transactions because rates are determined by interest differentials. 5. Investments should only support practices or products that are not forbidden - or even discouraged - by Islam: trade in weapons, for example would not be financed by an Islamic bank. 6. Shari’a does not prohibit to use interest as a benchmark (what counts for the Muslim scholars is not the method of calculation of the remuneration but the generating element of the remuneration). 17
TECHNIQUES OF THE TRADE Most used techniques used in modern Islamic banking include: § Musharaka : joint venture (typically for a specific undertaking) wherein both parties contribute capital and share profits and losses. § Mudaraba : partnership whereby an investor agrees to entrust an Islamic finance institution, for a specified fee, with the responsibility of managing a transaction. § Ijara : analogous to equipment leasing but the lessor has to retain some obligations and risks associated with ownership. § Murabaha : transaction involving the sale of an asset for a price which includes a stated mark up. § Istisna’a : it is a “build-to-suit contract” in which the IFI agrees to or to build an asset pursuant to the purchaser’s specifications. § Salam : similar to a forward sale contract. § Sukuk Al Ijara : lease participation trust certificates or bonds; the investor acquires assets pursuant to Ijara leases for a stated period with an obligation by the lessee to purchase these assets at the end 18 18 ______ _____ of the term.
ISLAMIC FINANCING INSTRUMENTS FOR PROJECTS Debt Finance § Ijara, Leasing (equipment, plant, machinery) about 15% of IDB financing § Istisna‘a, construction finance (civil works) about 55% of IDB financing § Installment Sale about 30% of IDB t financing Sukuk (Islamic bonds) § Sovereign Sukuk (by Governments for general budget use) § Corporate Sukuk (by corporations using their balance sheets) § Project Sukuk (by project companies, SPV, to finance specific projects) Equity Finance § Direct equity participation (Musharaka, profit sharing) § Infrastructure Equity Funds Global, e. g. , IDB Infrastructure Funds, I and II Regional, e. g. , IDB-ADB Islamic Infrastructure Fund Sectoral, e. g. , Energy Fund, Telecom Fund 19

IDB’s PPP (1) Key elements of PPP in IDB: § Started in June 2006. § Objective: to use PPPs as a major tool for poverty alleviation in MCs. § PPPs are a project-based, or contract-based financing alternatives for both economic and social infrastructure (transport, utilities, schools, hospitals etc. ). § IDB created new products to position itself as a catalyst providing financing and risk mitigation and credit enhancement tools/instruments as well as syndication and advisory services. § Objective: to become a major financing vehicle of IDB’s lending business, with up to 30% of the total financing target. 21
IDB’s PPP (2) § No loan to Government. § Borrower is a single purpose business. § Separate legal entity with ring-fenced cash flows. § Sponsor guarantees don’t cover all the risks. § High leverage and long repayment terms. § Contracts with major project parties are a key credit support mechanism. § Sukuk resources available to fund PPPs. § Working closely with other Islamic Finance Institutions and Commercial Banks. 22
IDB’s PPP (3) Appetite for: § Strategically important projects § Strong experienced sponsors § Experienced and reputable project management company and contractors § Very competitive cost advantage situations § Demand/supply gap in target markets § Robust cash flows and operating projections § Overall risk low – medium – 23

OBJECTIVES OF THE SHARI’A ﻣﻘﺼﻮﺩ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻉ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺨﻠﻖ ﺧﻤﺴﺔ، ﻭﻫﻮ ﺃﻦ ﻳﺤﻔﻆ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺩﻳﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻭﻋﻘﻠﻬﻢ ﻭ ﻧﺴﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﻣﺎﻟﻬﻢ. ﻓﻜﻞ ﻣﺎ ﻳﺘﻀﻤﻦ ﺣﻔﻆ ﻫﺬﻩ ﺍﻷﺼﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺨﻤﺴﺔ ﻓﻬﻮ . ﻣﺼﻠﺤﺔ، ﻭﻛﻞ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻔﻮﺕ ﻫﺬﻩ ﺍﻷﺼﻮﻝ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻣﻔﺴﺪﺓ، ﻭﺩﻓﻌﻬﺎ ﻣﺼﻠﺤﺔ § The Shari’a (i. e. legal principles derived from the Quran, the Sunna and the jurisprudence) encourages thrift, cooperation, responsibility and social and economic justice. § According to Al-Ghazali (Algazel, 450 503 H /1058 1111 G), the objectives (maqasid) of the Shari’a lie in safeguarding the faith, the self, the intellect, the posterity and the wealth of the people. § “Whatever ensures the safeguard of these five principles serves public interest and is desirable, and whatever hurts them is against public interest and its removal is desirable. ” § Ibn Maymun (Maimonides, d. 1286) of Cordova used Al-Ghazali ‘s maqasid. Thomas Aquinas (1225 -1274 G) studied Algazel in the University of Naples. 58
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT § The 1960 s: In this stage the first step towards Islamic banking system was taken with the establishment of Mit Ghamr, first Islamic bank, in Egypt in 1963 and Muslim Pilgrims Saving Corporation (Tabung Haji), a saving corporation, in Malaysia in 1963. However, both institutions came into being without projecting their image as Islamic banking institutions. § The 1970 s: The pioneers of modern Islamic banking came into being during the 1970 s. They included the Islamic Development Bank in 1975, Dubai Islamic Bank in 1975, Faisal Islamic Bank of Sudan in 1977, Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt in 1979, and Bahrain Islamic Bank in 1979. All these institutions focused on building the image of Islamic banks and brought untapped Islamic capital into the banking system. § The 1980 s: During the decade, some Muslim countries attempted to convert their conventional banking system to an Islamic one (e. g. Iran and Sudan) or to introduce a dual banking system (e. g. Pakistan, Malaysia and Bahrain). § The 1990 s and up to now: The 1990 s saw the spreading of Islamic banks from Muslim countries to western shores such as London, Luxembourg, Geneva, etc. These conventional banks also tried to channel the Arab oil revenues via a variety of Islamic banking instruments alongside conventional products. 59
ISLAMIC FINANCE: A SIZEABLE REALITY (1) § There are more than 300 Islamic banks and financial institutions worldwide. § Estimates of total size of Islamic finance market internationally range between US$500 and US$900 billion growing at a rate believed to be between 10 and 20% p. a. § Islamic financial products attract not only Muslim savings, but also other conventional and ethical based investors as well. § Islamic capital markets have taken off quite strongly. Total sukuk (Islamic bonds) issuance is estimated to be over US$50 billion. § There has also been an increase in the amount of Islamic project financing particularly in the Middle East. The Ettihad Etisalat's (telecommunication provider from the UAE) deal in 2007 of US$2. 35 billion is just one example. 60 ______ _____ 60
ISLAMIC FINANCE: A SIZEABLE REALITY (2) § The world’s first Islamic bond, issued by a Government took place in Malaysia in July 2002. HSBC was the lead arranger for this US$ 600 million issue. § In July 2004, the central German state of Saxony-Anhalt issued the first European-based and backed sukuk. The 5 year 100 -million-euro transaction was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. § Similarly, a growing mergers and acquisition, management buyout and venture capital activity is taking place in Islamic banking sector. § In 2009, France has put in place Islamic finance regulation with a view to attracting Islamic funds and to working with Islamic funds on international finance markets. ______ _____ 61
REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY FRAMEWORKS As IFIs gain critical mass, a number of initiatives have emerged to develop a body of standards. Several institutions have been established such as: - Accounting & Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOFI), established in Bahrain in 1990 to develop accounting and auditing standards. - Islamic Financial Service Board (IFSB), established in Malaysia in 2002, by the IDB and several central Banks, to harmonize the standards, regulations and best practices. - International Islamic Financial Market (IIFM), jointly established by Bahrain and Malaysia to develop new Islamic instruments and build the Islamic debt market. - Islamic International Rating Agency (IIRA), established in 2000 in Bahrain by the IDB and other sponsors. - General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (CIBAFI), established 3 years ago in Bahrain to promote Islamic banking. 62
TAKAFUL, THE ISLAMIC FORM OF INSURANCE Conventional insurance is considered by many scholars not to be in line with Shari’a. As Prof. Mahmoud Amin El-Gamal put it: - “First, the high-quality debt instruments in which insurance companies normally invest their premiums (e. g. bonds, mortgage backed securities, etc. ) are deemed forbidden based on riba. - Second, the insurance contract itself is deemed by those jurists to be a form of gambling (since the insured pays a premium, but knows not whether he will ever file a claim), and hence forbidden based on the canonical prohibition of gharar. - To solve both problems, providers of a cooperative insurance or takaful have emerged. - To solve the first problem, premiums are invested in Islamic variations on bonds, asset-backed securities, etc. , like the ones discussed earlier. - To solve the second problem, the relationship between insurer and insured is not viewed as a commutative financial contract (in which the uncertainty associated with claims would deem the contract impermissible). Instead, the takaful company is said to pay claims based on voluntary contribution tabarru’, as a form of social cooperation”. 63
RECENT TRENDS § The Islamic market, is witnessing an increasing level of competition. As a result, product offering has become much more sophisticated. New and innovative products are being developed. Structures have become much more complicated. § Structures are getting sophisticated and complex to accommodate fiscal and monetary regulations in different countries and to better manage risks or enhance them or change their maturity profiles. § Islamic investment banking is making a major in-road into project financing providing both equity and debt to major projects inside and outside the Islamic world. § Some western regulators have started to align the local rules with a view to accommodate for the specificities of Islamic Finance: this is the case for the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Bank of England, the US Treasury and US regulatory bodies, the Banque de France etc. 64
