SUMMARY:IFSB-DFSA Joint Seminar: Liquidity Generating Innovations in Islamic Finance: The Role of Sukuk and Securitisation to Support New Financial Regulations
DESCRIPTION:The half-day Seminar is designed to encourage broad interaction among the delegates to explore Shariah-compliant Islamic capital market instruments\, in particular Sukuk and Securitisation of Assets\, to generate liquidity in the global Islamic financial services industry. At a time of implementation of tightened financial regulations\, this Seminar seeks to raise awareness on the readiness of Islamic financial institutions to meet the new requirements\, particularly on liquidity\, while also highlighting opportunities available to various bodies (e.g. regulatory authorities\, capital market players\, legal firms) to support the industry’s liquidity management needs.\n\nThe opening remarks will be delivered by Mr. Ian Johnston\, Chief Executive\, Dubai Financial Services Authority and Mr. Zahid ur Rehman Khokher\, Acting Secretary-General\, IFSB\n\nThe confirmed panelists are:\n\n 	Basheer Ahmad\, Dubai Financial Services Authority\, UAE\n 	Ismail Dadabhoy\, Islamic International Financial Market (IIFM)\, Bahrain\n 	Dr. Mohamed Damak\, S&P Global Ratings\, UAE\n 	Debashis Dey\, White & Case LLP\, UAE\n 	Khalid Howladar\, Acreditus\, UAE\n 	Moosa Tariq Khoory\, Dubai islamic Bank\, UAE\n 	Gregory Man\, Norton Rose Fulbright (Middle East) LLP\, UAE\n 	Prof. Volker Nienhaus\, University of Bochum\n\nProgramme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n30/04/2017\n08:30 – 09:30\nRegistration\n\n\n09:30 – 09:45\nWelcoming Remarks\n\n\n09:45 – 10:50\nSession 1: Panel Discussion: The Role of Shariah-Compliant Instruments in the Islamic Capital Market Liquidity risk management remains one of the most challenging issues within the IFSI as Shariah principles render most of the conventional capital and money market instruments and borrowing windows/facilities as not compliant. This is at a time when revised Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) liquidity requirements under both Basel III & IFSB GN-6 are gradually being put into effect. There is a significant lack of Shariah-compliant high-quality-liquid-assets (HQLA) that meet LCR requirements and\, in the past\, many Islamic banks are known to have relied primarily on cash and central bank placements as their main liquidity management tools. Shariah-compliant profit-generating tradable instruments are also widely in demand for liquidity management purposes by other Islamic financial institutions\, for instance\, in the Takaful and the Islamic asset management industries. Given this\, how can existing instruments in the Islamic capital market support liquidity management in the IFSI? What are the issues involving the use of commodity murabaha for managing liquidity? Is there a need to develop new ICM instruments based on other commodities such as crude oil? What efforts can be made by various bodies (e.g. regulatory authorities\, multilateral organisations\, capital market players\, exchanges/bourses) to support liquidity management in the IFSI? What are the opportunities available in the ICM to address this gap in the market?\n\n\n10:50 – 11:10\nNetworking Break\n\n\n11:10 – 12:15\nSession 2: Panel Discussion: Securitisation of Islamic Assets Amid a period of liquidity pressures in key IFSI jurisdictions\, influenced by prolonged low energy prices and fiscal tightening\, an option for Islamic financial institutions with long-term non-tradable assets is to explore securitisation. The global financial crisis tarnished the image of securitisation\, to some extent\, but building on the lessons learned from the crisis\, Shariah-compliant structures could enable Islamic banks to more easily meet revised capital and liquidity regulations. For instance\, structures could enable an efficient offloading of non-tradable assets from their balance sheets to improve capital ratios; monetise previously illiquid assets to enhance liquidity; and facilitate raising of cheaper funding at an asset level as opposed to the bank level. The key challenge is in structuring an Islamic financial securitised instrument that meets Shariah requirements and avoids the problems that contributed towards the crisis.\n\n\n12:30 – 13:30\nNetworking Lunch

SUMMARY:Conference on Soundness Indicators for Conventional and Islamic Finance
DESCRIPTION:The AMF-IFSB-IMF organised a Conference on Soundness Indicators for Conventional and Islamic Finance on 1 – 2 March 2017 in Abu Dhabi\, UAE.\n\nThe Conference aimed to serve as a platform to bring together mid-to-senior level officials from the central banks and other regulatory and supervisory authorities (RSAs) in member jurisdictions of the IMF\, IFSB\, and AMF to discuss how the existing indicators for both conventional and Islamic financial systems can support financial stability through macroprudential policies\, and to garnered feedback from the authorities on their experiences and challenges in the compilation of these indicators.\n\nThe conference was also intended to broaden countries’ interest in compiling soundness indicators\, encouraging non-reporting jurisdictions to participate and benefit from these projects.\n\nAlmost 60 delegates from among the supervisory authorities and international organisations\, academic institutions as well as financial market players attended this conference.\n\nEvent Snapshots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n01/03/2017\n08:30 – 09:00\nRegistration\n\n\n09:00 – 09:40\nOpening and Welcoming Remarks\n\n\n09:40 – 09:50\nKeynote Address\n\n\n09:50 – 10:15\nCoffee Break & Networking\n\n\n10:15 – 11:30\nSession 1: IMF’s Financial Soundness Indicators and Surveillance The session will focus on the IMF’s Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs)\, the ongoing work on the development\, compilation\, and use of FSIs\, including various analytical frameworks for macroprudential and other analysis using FSIs.\n\n\n11:30 – 13:00\nSession 2: Soundness Indicators for the Islamic Financial Services Industry The session will focus on statistical needs of the Islamic financial services industry (IFSI). Data limitations have been a significant issue for the IFSI\, which has hindered the accurate surveillance and assessment of its growth and stability. The IFSB’s PSIFIs database project\, which was developed in light of these needs\, has achieved several key milestones\, with further work planned ahead to build a comprehensive and consistent framework and infrastructure for Islamic Financial Statistics.\n\n\n13:00 – 14:30\nLunch\n\n\n14:30 – 16:00\nSession 3: Interactive Session : Countries Experiences and Challenges in Compiling FSIs and PSIFIs The session will foster discussion and garner feedback from RSAs on their experiences\, expectations as well as challenges in the compilation of quality and relevant data for soundness indicators. The session will address the following: What are the challenges in the compilation of FSIs and PSIFIs What are the areas where further progress is needed How does the Soundness Indicators contribute to surveillance and macro prudential and macroeconomic policy making\n\n\n16:00 – 16:30\nNetworking and Side Meetings\n\n\nDay 2\n02/03/2017\n09:00 – 10:15\nSession 4: Use of FSIs and PSIFIs The session will look at how the impact of macro-economic shocks can be assessed by utilising the FSIs and PSIFIs\, which are sectoral indicators of financial health\, in macro stress testing frameworks of RSAs. Analytical work has focused on how aggregate stress testing can be used in combination with FSIs and PSIFIs – which are typically the outputs or intermediate inputs of stress tests – to enhance their usefulness.\n\n\n10:15 – 10:45\nCoffee Break & Networking\n\n\n10:45 – 12:15\nSession 5: Concentration and Distribution Measures The session will discuss the need for augmenting the FSIs and possibly PSIFIs with relevant concentration and distribution measures (CDMs) to capture tail risks\, concentrations\, variations in distributions\, and the volatility of indicators over time that simple averages can miss. As a starting point\, the IMF pilot project launched in July 2014 by the Statistics Department to test the CDMs will be presented.\n\n\n12:15 – 13:45\nLunch\n\n\n13:45 – 15:15\nSession 6: Panel Discussion Global Soundness Indicators: Future Direction The panel discussion will focus on what is next on the agenda for global soundness indicators\, including: Areas for further expansion of data coverage\, particularly in terms of addressing priority areas and data gaps; Enhancing the current indicators and compilation methodologies\, Future role of soundness indicators in surveillance\, core principle assessment and stress testing; Areas for collaboration between multilateral organisations to improve the quality and consistency of financial statistics\, including strategies to meet the capacity-building needs to strengthen the institutional and statistical capacity for better understanding\, compilation and use of the indicators.\n\n\n15:15 – 15:30\nClosing Remarks\n\n\n15:30 – 16:00\nNetworking and Side Meetings

In particular\, the Standard sets out 15 principles for managing the risks inherent in Sharī`ah-compliant financial businesses. \nIFSB-2: Capital Adequacy Standard is the equivalent of Pillar 1 of Basel II for IIFS. It complements the Basel capital framework by raising the specificities of IIFS that include\, inter-alia\, the treatment of profit-sharing investment accounts (PSIA) and measuring the risk weights of Sharī`ah-compliant products. Moreover\, the Standard proposes two methods for calculating the capital adequacy ratios\, namely the Standard formula as well as the supervisory discretion formula. \nGN-4: Guidance Note in Connection with the IFSB Capital Adequacy Standard: The Determination of Alpha in the Capital Adequacy Ratio for IIFS\, for its part provides a methodology to estimate the value of alpha to be used in the supervisory discretion formula in calculating the CAR of IIFS; and to demonstrate how to measure the Displaced Commercial Risk (DCR). \nIn addition\, IFSB-16: Revised Guidance on Key Elements In The Supervisory Review Process offers guidance on key elements in the supervisory review process for authorities supervising IIFS taking into consideration the specificities of the IIFS\, the lessons learned from the crisis\, while complementing the existing international standards on the supervisory review process\, in particular those of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). \nOverall\, this Workshop aims to: \n\n\n 	Enhance the participants’ understanding of the respective Standards and Guiding Principles thereby facilitating the implementation of these standards in their respective jurisdictions;\n 	Assist the participants in the practical application of issues addressed in the particular standards through case studies\, hands-on exercises and other interactive tools; and\n 	Promote the sharing of experiences among the participants on the implementation of respective IFSB Standards and Guiding Principles.\n\nThis Workshop is hosted by the Palestine Monetary Authority and participation in this Workshop is by INVITATION only.

SUMMARY:IFSB-FIS Workshop on IFSB Standards for Regulatory and Supervisory Authorities for the Banking Sector
DESCRIPTION:This 5-day Workshop is tailored for the regulatory and supervisory authorities for the banking sector\, thus intend to be a Train the Trainer Programme for the staff on the IFSB Standards. The main focus of the Workshop lies in incorporating the latest IFSB Standards issued by the IFSB after the world post-crisis in 2008 and Basel III issuance which are IFSB-15: Revised Capital Adequacy Standard for Institutions offering only Islamic Financial Services (IIFS)\, GN-6: Guidance Note on Quantitative Measures for Liquidity Risk Management and IFSB-17: Core Principles for Islamic Finance Regulation (Banking Segment). In addition\, the workshop will also cover sessions for Exposure Draft (ED) of Technical Note-2 (TN-2) on Stress Testing for IIFS which follows on from\, and complements\, the earlier IFSB-13\, Guiding Principles on Stress Testing for IIFS. The IFSB-13\, which was issued in 2012 provides a comprehensive stress testing framework for both IIFS and supervisory authorities. \nAs a background\, the main objective of IFSB-17 is to provide a set of Core Principles – along with associated assessment methodology – for the regulation and supervision of the Islamic financial services industry (IFSI)\, taking into consideration the specificities of the IIFS in the banking segment\, the lessons learned from the financial crisis\, and complementing the existing international standards\, principally the Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. \nIFSB-15: Revised Capital Adequacy Standard\, for its part\, includes implementation of an optimal capital adequacy framework to facilitate the effective coverage of risk exposures of the IIFS as well as the allocation of appropriate capital to cover these risks in a manner that is based predominantly on the Standardised Approach. This Standard also provides guidance on the features and criteria for high-quality regulatory capital components\, including Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2\, which comply with Sharī`ah rules and principles. Similarly\, it includes new guidance on macroprudential tools\, such as capital buffers and leverage ratios (especially for domestic systemically important banks) which shall support the supervisory authorities in achieving the goal of protecting the banking system and the real economy from system-wide shocks. \nMoreover\, GN-6:  Quantitative Measures for Liquidity Risk Management Guidance Note complements the Standard IFSB-12: Guiding Principles on Liquidity Risk Management for IIFS\, and supports the harmonised application of the international regulatory regime in the area of liquidity risk management. This is achieved by providing guidance on the application of global liquidity standards for the IIFS\, especially the Liquidity Coverage ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) at the current stage\, with suitable adjustments based on the specific operational characteristics.

In particular\, the panel will examine the potential for public-private synergies in the development of an Islamic finance legal and regulatory framework\, and for a sound supportive institutional structure\, as well as for knowledge sharing and capacity development goals. The panel will showcase real-life case studies on Islamic finance to provide practical examples on the above.\n\n\n12:10 – 12:30\nClosing Remarks Ms. Gloria Grandolini\, Senior Director\, Finance & Markets Global Practice Group\, World Bank\n\n\n12:30 – 12:30\nEnd of Seminar\n\n\n\nDownloadable Document(s)\n\n\n\n1.)\n\nEvent Session(s) – PDF Format\n\n\n2.)\n\nWB – IFSB High-Level Seminar on Islamic Finance

Initiatives of various countries and institutions will be shared with the participants to provide a reflection on how the excluded sections of society benefit from the Sharī`ah compliant and affordable insurance products and services.\n\n\n15:15 – 15:45\nCoffee Break\n\n\n15:45 – 17:00\nSession 4: Risk Management and Governance in Takāful This session aims to provide the various governance structures that have been proven to be effective for jurisdictions in managing the risks in Takāful operation. Key elements of risk management will be shared with the participants to provide an enhanced understanding of how Takāful Operators are able to better equip themselves in managing the diverse risks.\n\n\nDay 2\n31/05/2016\n08:30 – 09:00\nMorning Coffee\n\n\n09:00 – 10:15\nSession 5: Challenges in Developing the Retakāful Sector This session draws upon the issues and challenges faced by the Retakāful sector in meeting the demands from the Takāful industry. The (lack of) regulation of Retakāful activities has thus far created misinterpretation on various aspects of Retakāful operation. This calls for the need to have a standardised supervising method of Retakāful activities\, in addition to garnering best practices by the industry players. Participants will be able to get a view of what the IFSB has recommended in its latest standard on Retakāful\, IFSB-18: Guiding Principles of Retakāful (Islamic Reinsurance).\n\n\n10:15 – 10:45\nCoffee Break\n\n\n10:45 – 12:00\nSession 6: Panel Discussion – Taking Takāful to the Next Level This final session gathers experienced Takāful industry players\, regulators\, and thought leaders to deliberate on the way forward for the Takāful industry. They will share their thoughts on Takāful outlook\, underlying opportunities\, and how the industry should brace itself for the development in the next 20 years.\n\n\n12:00 – 12:15\nClosing Remarks\n\n\n12:15 – 14:00\nEnd of Conference / Luncheon\n\n\n\nDownloadable Document(s)\n\n\n\n\n1.)\n\nEvent Session(s) – PDF Format\n\n\n2.)\n\nBrochure\n\n\n3.)\n\nRenaissance Istanbul Polat Bosphorus Hotel – Form

SUMMARY:Seminar on Islamic Finance - The Real Economy and the Financial Sector
DESCRIPTION:For queries\, please contact Mrs. Ida Shafinaz Ab. Malek at ida.shafinaz@ifsb.org \nEvent Snapshots \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe IFSB organised the Seminar on Islamic Finance which was supported by Banco De España in collaboration IE Business School. The Seminar themed The Real Economy and Financial Sector was held on 24 May 2016\, in Madrid\, Spain. The Seminar is part of the IFSB European Forum Series. \nThe Opening Remarks were delivered by H.E. Luis M. Linde\, Governor\, Banco De España\, Mr. Jaseem Ahmed\, Secretary-General\, IFSB and Mr. Guillermo de la Dehesa Romero\, Chairman\, IE Business School. \nThe Seminar was designed to encourage broad interaction among the delegates to explore the potential re-alignment of economic policy frameworks in a manner that strengthens the linkages between the real economy and the financial sector as well as offering some perspectives of Islamic finance principles\, and financing modalities\, which directly relate to the real sector from both the viewpoints of risk and return. The sessions discussed the following issues: \n\nPanel Discussion – Islamic Finance: Legal and Regulatory Considerations\nSukūk – A Growing Alternative Asset Class to Fund the Real Sector\nEquity-based Financing and its Effects on Macroeconomic Resilience\nBanking the Unbanked: Enhancing Financial Inclusion using Risk-Sharing Instruments\n\nThe Seminar was attended by over 80 delegates\, with a line-up of 15 chairpersons and speakers from among regulators\, academics and Islamic financial sector experts and practitioners from among the European as well as global financial community. \nAn Introductory Seminar on Islamic Finance was also held on 23 May 2016. This half-day event aimed to provide a better understanding\, especially to the local delegates\, on Islamic Finance. Over 60 delegates attended the Introductory Seminar. \nProgramme – Event Session(s) \n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n23/05/2016\nSEMINAR ON ISLAMIC FINANCE: AN INTRODUCTION\n\n\n14:00 – 15:00\nRegistration and Networking\n\n\n15:00 – 15:10\nWelcoming Remarks\n\n\n15:10 – 16:10\nSession 1 – Islamic Finance: Facts and Figures Over the last decade\, Islamic finance has gained much acceptance in the global arena with estimates indicating the presence of more than 600 Islamic financial institutions operating across nearly 70 countries. The industry has approximately USD2 trillion worth of assets having expanded from offering basic banking services in the 1990s to become a holistic financial sector offering Sharī`ah-compliant capital markets\, asset management as well as insurance products and services. The stakeholders of the industry include both Muslim majority and non-Muslim majority jurisdictions as well global multilateral development banks and international organisations. In Europe\, Islamic financial transactions are actively undertaken in some countries including in the United Kingdom\, Luxembourg and Germany. This session aims to: Highlight the growth and development of the global Islamic financial services industry (IFSI) across diverse regions globally. Detail out the progress made in each of IFSI’s three main segments – Islamic banking\, Islamic capital markets and Takāful (Islamic insurance). Discuss the regulatory developments in Islamic finance\, and the role and work of the IFSB. Discuss the initiatives and prospects for Islamic finance in Europe.\n\n\n16:15 – 17:15\nSession 2 – Challenges and Opportunities for the Implementation of Islamic Finance in Spain Islamic finance provides a new and alternative source of funds for families\, companies and public institutions. Although this system has originated from the Middle East and Asia\, it is gaining traction globally during times when many are deliberating viable alternatives to the traditional financial systems in the Western countries. In Spain\, a particular segment that experiences difficulty in steady availability of credit is the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Islamic finance principles propose a risk-sharing and equity-based financing mechanism that potentially provides a more viable modality for financing entrepreneurs\, SMEs\, as well as corporations and the whole society in general. Nonetheless\, there will be challenges in the implementation of Islamic finance in Spain. This session aims to: Explore the value proposition for Islamic finance as an alternative financing modality for Spanish businesses Explain key features and models of Islamic finance Discuss the opportunities for Islamic finance in Spain\, and its implementation challenges\n\n\n17:15 – 00:00\nCoffee Break and Networking\n\n\nDay 2\n24/05/2016\nSEMINAR ON ISLAMIC FINANCE: THE REAL ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL SECTOR\n\n\n08:30 – 09:30\nRegistration\n\n\n09:30 – 10:00\nWelcoming Remarks\n\n\n10:00 – 10:30\nCoffee break\n\n\n10:30 – 11:45\nSession 1: Panel Discussion – Islamic Finance: Legal and Regulatory Considerations The rapid growth of Islamic finance in recent years has spurred increasing interest in the subject including in Europe. Estimates indicate the size of Islamic finance assets in Europe range between $60 billion and $70 billion as of end-2014. Almost 40 banking institutions have Islamic banking operations across the European continent\, while in the Islamic capital market segment\, a total of 294 Islamic funds were domiciled in Europe (as of Sept 2014). Similarly\, Sukūk has been used as a fund-raising instrument across the United Kingdom\, Luxembourg\, Germany and France with the former two having floated debut sovereign Sukūk in 2014. Fundamental to sustaining the growth of Islamic finance growth in Europe is\, among other factors\, an enabling environment with an appropriate regulatory and supervisory framework\, and supporting legal basis\, that provides for a level playing field. The scope and implementation of the needed legal and regulatory reforms can differ across jurisdictions but contain certain core elements that can draw from international core principles and standards with a view towards strengthening real sector linkages.\n\n\n11:45 – 13:00\nSession 2: Sukūk – A Growing Alternative Asset Class to Fund the Real Sector In the backdrop of global macroeconomic challenges and financial pressures in major markets\, the fast expanding global pool of Sharī`ah-compliant capital has become an attractive source over the years for various sovereigns\, government-related entities and corporates to tap into in order to meet their financing needs. In particular\, Sukūk instruments have gained widespread acceptance among stakeholders as economically viable tools to achieve funding diversification and offer tailored financing (especially for infrastructure investments). In the past five years\, global Sukūk outstanding has been the fastest expanding asset class in the Islamic financial services industry\, achieving a compounded annual growth rate of more than 19% (2009-2014). Nonetheless\, several key imperatives remain in order to expand the role of Sukūk in funding the real sector. Among these are reforms to taxation and the development of the legal and regulatory framework that accommodates the specificities of Sukūk; strengthening the market infrastructure to support the intricacies of Sukūk structures; supporting liquid and active secondary markets (e.g. by a regular Sovereign/Central Bank Sukūk programmes of different maturities to establish a benchmark yield curve); and other necessary considerations such as dispute resolution frameworks and Sukūk insolvency regimes.\n\n\n13:00 – 14:00\nLunch\n\n\n14:00 – 15:15\nSession 3: Equity-based Financing and its Effects on Macroeconomic Resilience A series of recent studies\, including some published as working papers by the IMF\, have suggested that all crises of the past have been\, at their core\, debt crises\, regardless of whether they were labelled as ‘currency’ or ‘banking’ crises. As such\, some experts argue that an economic model based on equity-based principles where the rate of return to finance is derived directly from the rate of return to the real sector\, produces a stable equilibrium and avoids the mismatches of maturities and values between assets and liabilities. In an economy that where equity-based financing is endemic (e.g.\, mortgage finance\, corporate finance\, etc.)\, as prices fluctuate in the real sector so do the value of financial assets; hence\, assets and liabilities of economic agents vary in the same direction. The importance of this framework can be considered in light of the global financial crisis and its relationship to housing finance and macroprudential risks and their management.\n\n\n15:15 – 15:45\nCoffee table\n\n\n15:45 – 17:00\nSession 4: Banking the Unbanked: Enhancing Financial Inclusion using Risk-Sharing Instruments Enhancing financial inclusion is a common objective for many governments\, central banks and international organizations based on evidence from research that suggests that financial inclusion plays an important role in poverty reduction\, reducing income disparities and increasing economic growth. However\, the formal financial sector often fails to adequately meet the needs of the perceived riskier borrowers of a particular society given their inability to furnish collateral; this category includes microfinance for the lower-income households\, financing for small and medium enterprises\, and micro-insurance to others. As a solution\, some experts suggest that the use of risk-sharing contracts provide a viable alternative to debt-based financing for meeting the funding needs of the financially excluded segments. Currently\, such risk-sharing models are beginning to be implemented by the informal financial sector consisting of NGOs\, private-equity and crowdfunding platforms\, and so on. As the scope of such financial models expand\, policymakers may consider formalizing the use of risk-sharing contracts as an alternative to debt-based financing to enhance financial inclusion. This would critically require strong regulatory support\, for instance\, in removing regulatory and tax impediments to risk-sharing contracts and strengthening the overall financial inclusion market infrastructure (e.g. crowdfunding platforms\, accommodative regulatory guidelines\, etc.)\n\n\n\nDownloadable Document(s) \n\n\n\n1.)\n\nEvent Session(s) – PDF Format\n\n\n2.)\n\nHotel Reservation Form\n\n\n\n

One of the most important legal issues of the Sukūk market is the different legal treatments for asset-based and asset-backed Sukūk structures and their effects on risks\, particularly legal risk\, that are endogenous to a particular Sukūk issuance. Furthermore\, in view of the potential multi-national investor base and the global appeal of these instruments\, the standardisation of the structures and processes along with the legal and tax treatment in different jurisdictions\, the set-up of effective mechanisms for dispute resolution\, and enforceability of the Sukūk contracts are also important issues that feature as determinants of the attractiveness of the instrument and jurisdiction. Apart from the legal issues\, the provision of a sound regulatory and supervisory regime is critical in order to ensure that the Sukūk instruments comply with key consumer protection aspects as well as operate in an environment that limits the exposure to system-wide risks.\n\n\n12:15 – 13:30\nSession 2: Sukūk for Budgetary and Financial Sector Support: Structures and Country Examples Since the GFC\, the share of Sukūk issued by sovereigns\, quasi-sovereigns (Ministries/Central Banks\, etc.) and government-related entities (GREs) has risen noticeably from 2009 onwards\, accounting for more than two-thirds of issuances in the primary market. These funds have been raised to support a variety of state budgetary needs including to fund development expenditures\, as well as to support a smooth functioning of the country’s Islamic financial system. Moreover\, a steady supply of Sovereign/GRE Sukūk has had the complementary advantage of providing much-needed Sharī`ah-compliant investment avenues to various Takāful and Islamic fund management institutions. Furthermore\, sovereign or quasi-sovereign Sukūk are eligible as high-quality liquid assets for regulatory purposes related to capital-adequacy and liquidity management by Islamic banks. These Sukūk also provide a pricing benchmark for other potential Sukūk issuers (Corporates) in the country. Given the interrelated advantages for a regular state-sponsored Sukūk programme\, it is important to understand the developmental aspects and financial infrastructure dimensions which are critical to support such initiatives by a jurisdiction. In this regard\, lessons can be learned from the experience of countries that already have regular sovereign-linked Sukūk issuance programmes in place.\n\n\n13:30 – 14:30\nLunch and Prayers\n\n\n14:30 – 15:45\nSession 3: Sukūk for Infrastructure Financing: Prospects and Case Studies The global decline in the supply of syndicated bank loans and project financing by the banking sector for the infrastructure projects in the post-crisis era\, mostly due to deleveraging and additional capital requirements\, has widened the infrastructure funding gap in the context of expanding socio-economic needs and goals. In such an environment\, Sukūk\, with its tangible asset base\, and appeal to a wide set of investors\, can be an attractive form of financing that complements traditional financing. Indeed\, appropriately structured Sukūk\, with its risk sharing characteristics\, may help to address key impediments to financing of infrastructure in the form of construction risk and equity concentration risk.
