...Finance | The Rise of the Sukuk in Indonesia’s Islamic Finance Industry Islamic banking is one of the fastest-growing segments in international finance. Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population (around 210 million), yet its share in Islamic finance is still low. Neighbouring Malaysia, with less than a tenth of Indonesia's population, has effectively turned itself into a global leader for sharia-compliant banking. But Indonesia's new Financial Services Authority (OJK) looks determined to help the country catch up. Sukuk will remain the heavyweight Islamic asset class in Indonesia (and globally) for the foreseeable future, buoyed by the immense capital needed for infrastructure development At a time when conventional investment products in developed economies have lost appeal due to their unattractively low yields, investors around the world are turning to sukuk, a kind of bond that is permitted under the Koran. Compared to conventional securities, sukuk usually offer higher returns and are considered fairly safe because they are backed by tangible assets. For Indonesia, this is an opportune context to carve out for itself a greater share of the global market. Realising the potential that Islamic finance holds for Indonesia's emerging economy, such as funding massive infrastructure development (See Indonesian Infrastructure: Tremendous PPP Opportunities), deepening the country's capital markets and making them more resilient to global downturns, the government...

...1. Introduction History of Islamic Business Transaction Without a doubt, the history of Islamic Banking is quite interesting. Since the medieval era (1,000 – 1,500 AD), businesspeople in the Middle East engaged in financial transactions. At this time though, these transactions used the same financial principles as the Europeans. Early History of Islamic Banking Since the Arabs of the Ottoman Empire traded extensively with people in Spain, they also developed certain no-interest financial systems that worked on a profit and loss sharing method. These systems, in turn, financed trade and other business affairs. When the Middle Eastern and Asia began to be more important trading partners for various European companies, the Europeans opened banks in these countries – with many of these banks based on the interest-bearing financial system. As the trading relationship with the Europeans continued to play an important role, these types of financial institutions began to be more prominent outside of Europe. However, even when local trading business owners used these commercial banks, they often only transferred money between accounts. Both borrowing and depositing money was limited as the local population wanted to refrain from partaking in interest-bearing transactions. Further, certain co-operative institutions based on the original profit and loss sharing model still existed, but only in certain locations. As economic demands increased, avoiding banks was not an option...

...Perceptions on Islamic Banking Acceptance Abstract This research was conducted to investigate bank employee perceptions on Islamic banking acceptance. The questionnaires were distributed to bank employee at Maybank Islamic Wangsa Maju (Islamic bank) and Maybank Setapak (Islamic window) Kuala Lumpur. Interestingly, few of the bank employees possessed a relevant academic background or relevant experience in banking on this career. The bank employee also claimed that they had very limited knowledge in this area prior to working with the banks; thus, the issue of the availability of well-trained and skilled employees must be addressed critically by the government, industry players and educationists for the sustainable growth of Islamic banking in Malaysia, and to meet the target set for the year 2011. Keywords: Bank Employees perceptions, Islamic Banking, Product & Service, Training & Experience 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of study In 1970, Islamic banking was almost unknown and considered to be wishful thinking.

...Islamic Banking in Western China Group Paper 3 Group 4 November 6, 2014 Banking in some form has been around for thousands of years. It started small with loans of food or some other valuable product in local villages and has now evolved into the global industry we know today. There is a newer kind of banking that has seen a surge of acceptance from across the world, and that new kind of banking is known as Islamic banking. Islamic banking is a fairly new alternative to western banking, starting in the 1970’s. It is based on Shariah, the fundamental Islam religion. This is a socially responsible way to do banking and allows religion to guide decisions. Interest based transactions are not allowed because they violate Islamic law (Varriale, 2014). Instead, they share profits and losses with the lenders and borrowers of the banks. A few concepts, musharaka, murabaha, and mudaraba, are used in place of interest. Musharaka is when a borrower repays their loan through principal payments and a predetermined percentage of profits. Mudaraba is when a borrower agrees to pay the bank a handling fee if the investment is successful (R.J.C. and A.O.S., 2009). Murabaha is when the bank buys an asset for a customer and then sells it to them on a deferred basis, avoiding an interest-bearing loan. They also offer leasing agreements (R.J.C. and A.O.S., 2009). Islamic banking also requires tangible assets to back up the financial products. This is a much more conservative approach...

It was based on noble vision and objective of Islamic banking base on profit and loses sharing principle. The foundation of Islamic banking theory that they proposed was based on mudaraba and musharakah contracts as mechanism to operate Islamic banking system. “The early contributions on the theory of Islamic banking were only discussed as part of the subject in Islamic economic system. For example, the book by Qureshi on Islam and the Theory of Interest (Qureshi (l946)) which looked upon banking as a social service that should be sponsored by the government like other public institutions such as public health and education.2 His view was based on the point that the bank could neither pay any interest to account holders nor charge any interest on loans advanced. He also suggests the possibility for both Islamic banks and entrepreneur to create a partnership. No mention was made of profit-sharing.” Other economists were come up with different ideas at earlier stages such “the principle of mudarabah was appealed systematically by Uzair (l955). His main contribution lay in suggesting mudarabah as the main premise for 'interest less banking'. However...
