Islamic Finance Application in Turkey in Comparison with Other Countries by Atilla Yücel Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, Istanbul Marmara University (Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences), course: Bank Funds Management, language: English, abstract: The Islamic finance industry has been on the rise with the Islamic banking sector growing throughout crises. Turkey's Islamic banking sector is said to have shown just a moderate growth compared to its actual potential and global developments. The country's Islamic banks are said to grow further depending on whether they're able to improve investments, and to find sources of mid- to long-term funding for their investment activities. In the Islamic finance industry Sukuk, a form of Shariah-compliant securitization, emerged as a viable form of finance for both sovereign and corporate entities that seek for Shariah-compliant long-term financing sources. Since the international breakthrough in 2001, Sukuk certificates have been increasingly issued in various jurisdictions throughout the Middle East and Asia, and in parts of the western world. The upward rise supposedly represents the need of Islamic financial institutions for longer-term funding sources to overcome their short-term liquidity constraints. This paper provides a comparative analysis (quantitative and qualitative) of developments and the current state of applications of Sukuk financing in Turkey and the global Islamic finance sector. Sukuk markets have surely become one of the main sections of the Islamic finance industry. Islamic banks in Turkey just recently tapped the market, though. In line with trends in global Sukuk issuances, Turkish Sukuk were sponsored by corporate entities and of the Ijarah and Murabaha Sukuk types. However, sovereign / quasi-sovereign Sukuk issuance has been globally on the rise lately. In the near future, this trend could happen to be also true for the Turkish Sukuk market.

Islamic Capital Markets by Kabir Hassan,Michael Mahlknecht Pdf
Islamic Finance has experienced rapid growth in recent years, showing significant innovation and sophistication, and producing a broad range of investment products which are not limited to the complete replication of conventional fixed-income instruments, derivatives and fund structures. Islamic Finance represents an elemental departure from traditional interest-based and speculative practices, relying instead on real economic transactions, such as trade, investment based on profit sharing, and other solidary ways of doing business, and aims to incorporate Islamic principles, such as social justice, ecology and kindness, to create investment products and financial markets which are both ethical and sustainable. Products created according to Islamic principles have shown a low correlation to other market segments and are relatively independent even from market turbulences like the subprime crisis. Therefore, they have become increasingly popular with secular Muslims and non-Muslim investors, as highly useful alternative investments for the diversification of portfolios. In Islamic Capital Markets: Products and Strategies, international experts on Islamic Finance and Sharia'a Law focus on the most imminent issues surrounding the evolution of Islamic capital markets and the development of Sharia'a-compliant products. The book is separated into four parts, covering: General concepts and legal issues, including Rahn concepts in Saudi Arabia, the Sharia'a process in product development and the integration of social responsibility in financial communities; Global Islamic capital market trends, such as the evolution of Takaful products and the past, present and future of Islamic derivatives; National and regional experiences, from the world's largest Islamic financial market, Malaysia, to Islamic finance in other countries, including Germany, France and the US; Learning from Islamic finance after the global financial crisis; analysis of the risks and strengths of Islamic capital markets compared to the conventional system, financial engineering from an Islamic perspective, Sharia'a-compliant equity investments and Islamic microfinance.

Risk Sharing in Finance by Hossein Askari,Zamir Iqbal,Noureddine Krichene,Abbas Mirakhor Pdf
How the Islamic finance approach to risk can serve as a model for global reform The recent U.S. financial debacle has affected the entire world and led to major reviews of risk management in financial institutions.

Demonstrating how Islamic finance can successfully expand its array of risk sharing instruments, for example issuing government shares to finance development projects and placing limits on short sales and leveraging, the book makes a compelling case for thinking outside the box to redevelop a vibrant stock market. Provides analysis of the comparative historical, theoretical, and empirical investigation of risk management in both the conventional and the Islamic-type financial systems Explores the benefits and the implications of introducing Islamic finance around the world and explains how wider reliance on risk sharing can be implemented Establishes a connection between the flawed contemporary Western system of capitalist finance and the ancient, traditional forms of risk-sharing prevalent in Islamic finance Offering a timely look at financial reform, Risk Sharing in Finance draws on the expertise of author Zamir Iqbal of the World Bank, along with a host of co-authors Abbas Mirakhor, Hossein Askari, and Noureddine Krichene to present a new form of financial reform.
Rethinking Islamic Finance by Ayesha Bhatti,Saad Azmat Pdf
Islamic finance’s phenomenal growth owes to the Shariah compliant nature of its financial instruments. Shariah forbids the charging of interest (Riba) and instead promulgates risk-sharing and trade-based modes of financing. The Islamic financial industry has been subject to both critique and admiration. Critics argue that Islamic instruments (bearing debt-based structures) differ from their conventional counterparts only in legal lexicon and not in economic impact. The admirers argue that such instruments, irrespective of wider economic implications, rigorously comply with ‘juristically sound’ Islamic principles. This book aims to reconcile the above dispute. It argues that the financial impact of instruments is a consequence of the way they are priced and structured. The similarity in pricing and structures is an outcome not of the underlying Islamic financial modes but of the competitive environment in which Islamic instruments compete. Even risk-sharing and trade-based Islamic structures, if implemented in such an environment, would have a financial impact similar to that of conventional instruments. This book has a wider appeal for both academic and non-academic audiences. It can complement undergraduate and graduate courses as an additional reading on the intricacies of Islamic financial instruments and markets. For PhD students, it would help identify future research areas. To non-academics, it offers a deeper understanding regarding the working of the Islamic finance industry.
