Book synopsis

The use of common and civil law to licence and govern Islamic financial institutions is examined in detail in this book. It also makes international comparisons and discusses specific laws, from Iran (where all banking is shariah compliant) to Malaysia and the gulf, where Islamic financial institutions compete with conventional banks. As most Islamic banks operate under national banking laws, consideration is given as to how their assets and liabilities differ from their conventional counterparts and what the implications are for risk management. The remit of the guide includes takaful operators, fund management and shariah compliant securities as well as Islamic banks.
