Islamic finance (Capital Markets, Banking and Insurance) has emerged from a niche financial market to the mainstream of finance. The geographic market, clientele served, products base and volume of funds have grown significantly. Furthermore, the players have increased and now include not only pure Islamic institutions but also hybrid players (conventional bank with Islamic Finance windows). Therefore, not understanding the unique risks of the Islamic Finance model (risk sharing and risk pooling) can cause a failure of the model igniting a financial crises with a ripple effect on the Islamic faith. Hence, managing these unique risks is extremely important. This book would explore the subject of corporate risk management in the context of Islamic Financial Institutions, which are run on the Islamic legal and economic system, which prohibits Riba (interest), avoids Gharar (uncertainty), avoids Maysir (gambling or excessive speculation).
This is an awesome book for someone who has an interest in risk management practices in Islamic finance. It enables the reader to understand the foundations of Islamic finance and how this is embedded in risk management practices in Islamic finance, plus how these differ and are similar to risk management practices in conventional financial institutions.Risk Management for Islamic Financial Institutions
