  • Viability of GDP linked sovereign paper as replacement of sovereign debt: a shariah compatible risk sharing approach

    • Authors: Rizvi, Syed Aun Raza (2014)

  • Over the past decades much effort and research has gone into establishing a viable set of Islamic financial institutions. An area of utmost importance, which still has gaping holes, is the development of instruments for government financing on a global level. Most developing countries including the bulk of Muslim nations, are heavily indebted with high reliance on multilateral financing primarily based on high interest rates. This vicious cycle of interest rates and debt have stunted the growth of these nations and worsened the conditions of the masses. This research brings to the forefront the concept of an equity in nature GDP linked paper, which allows for enhanced risk sharing bas...

  • What it takes to embrace Islamic finance

    • Authors: Alhabshi, Syed Othman (2010-08-05)

  • The question we hope to answer is what are the preconditions needed to embrace Islamic Finance? The term Islamic Finance must be underlined by Shariah, otherwise there is no Islamic Finance. It encompasses banking, insurance (takaful) wealth planning, capital and money markets. In fact, it includes also the personal, public and corporate finance. In fact, it also includes international finance. Shariah is essentially the Islamic law that covers all aspects of life for Muslims. Its main objective is to provide what is good and beneficial to society and prevents what is harmful and bad for society. This is only achievable by commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. It is to ...

  • Why CEOs invest in corporate social responsibility initiatives: evidence on Shariah compliant firms

    • Authors: Anwer, Zaheer; Naeem Azmi, Choudhari Wajahat; Ramadili Mohd, Shamsher Mohamad; Paltrinieri, Andrea (2020)

  • The aim of this article is to investigate the motivation of CEOs to invest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. To carry out this analysis, we assess a sample of US conventional and Shariah Compliant (SC) firms, from Dow Jones Indices. As SC firms undergo business and financial screening, they are expected to follow different managerial styles and capital structures as compared to conventional firms. This comparison is important in view of the growing size of the Islamic Financial Services Industry that has surpassed total asset values of USD 2.00 Trillion. Existing literature argues that, for conventional firms, CEOs spend on CSR either to promote their private benefi...

  • Will the circle be unbroken?

    • Authors: Vicary Abdullah, Daud (2017)

  • As many of you will have heard, I shall be retiring from INCEIF shortly. This does not mean that I am retiring from Islamic Finance and Life in general. It does mean I shall be able to spend some more time with family and to reflect and act on some key focus areas with which I will still continue to be engaged. Make no mistake, I shall remain involved at INCEIF, but just in a different role.

  • Women empowerment in Islamic finance industry

    • Authors: Muneeza, Aishath (2018)

  • Women empowerment is often associated with feminism. The moment a woman voices out issues on gender equality, there is a general perception that she is talking about compromising of quality and competency and arguing for undue career development and its progression in favour of women. This is indeed not the case and this is not what women are advocating for.
