Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-sharing investment is currently the buzz word in Islamic finance. However, there is an incongruence in applying multilayered and opaque Tijarah contracts for investment purposes. This has contributed to the divergence between Shariah and Common Law and caused tremendous problems and systemic legal risks to Islamic finance. The authors of Shariah Investment Agreement introduce a legal tool in the form of a Shariah Investment Agreement carefully drafted to ensure that it is Shariah-compliant and can be applied in Common Law jurisdictions as well, so as to allow for the execution of risk-sharing investment in Islamic finance. It details the building blocks and key considerations that must be noted when drafting such agreements so the investor and investee will know what to expect when entering into such a contract. Proper implementation of the Shariah Investment Agreement will pave a clear route to a harmonious convergence between Shariah and Common Law and lead to Islamic finance developing further to become a stronger, unstoppable force in the finance industry.

Download or read book Islamic finance contracts written by MONZER KAHF and published by Al Manhal. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book deals with an old subject, Islamic Finance contracts. Yet, it is very new and unique in its approach, ideas and arguments. The book classifies Islamic finance contracts in three categories; the first category consists of seven classical finance contracts whose details are given in the classical writings of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), although in no other Fiqh publication these contracts are depicted and distinguished as specifically financing contracts. The second category consists of what I call traditional hybrid Islamic contracts which came about as a result of the 1970’s startup stage of Islamic banking and the search of Shari’ah compliant contracts which fit a process of financial intermediation. The third category consists of Islamic finance contracts which came about during the takeoff and open expansion stage of Islamic banking especially in the first decade of the new millennium. The uniqueness of the book comes from its approach of blending the legal description, conditions and requirements of each Islamic Finance contract with the economic and financial circumstances within which the contract fits and also from the emphasis on the financial consequences of each of the Islamic finance contracts. The book is also unique in bringing about comparison with contracts used in the conventional Western style finance transactions. It is an attempt of formulating the main elements of a general theory of Islamic finance which is internally coherent and also consistent with other components of Islamic economics. "

Download or read book An Overview of Islamic Finance written by Mr. Mumtaz Hussain and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic finance has started to grow in international finance across the globe, with some concentration in few countries. Nearly 20 percent annual growth of Islamic finance in recent years seems to point to its resilience and broad appeal, partly owing to principles that govern Islamic financial activities, including equity, participation, and ownership. In theory, Islamic finance is resilient to shocks because of its emphasis on risk sharing, limits on excessive risk taking, and strong link to real activities. Empirical evidence on the stability of Islamic banks, however, is so far mixed. While these banks face similar risks as conventional banks do, they are also exposed to idiosyncratic risks, necessitating a tailoring of current risk management practices. The macroeconomic policy implications of the rapid expansion of Islamic finance are far reaching and need careful considerations.
Download or read book Investor State Dispute Settlement and International Investment Agreements written by David Price and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the international investment agreements and the dispute settlement mechanisms contained therein, which bind the Gulf Cooperation Council member States. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, is complex and unique. Recently, all member States have experienced increasing investor–state arbitration claims, while their nationals are increasingly instituting investor–state arbitrations to protect their own foreign investments. Intra-GCC disputes, though relatively rare, have also appeared, largely as a result of the recent Gulf crisis. While focussing particularly upon the investor–state dispute settlement experience of member States as respondents, the book also explores the experiences of their nationals as claimants to determine how they can approach investor– state dispute settlement in the future. The book also reflects on existing treaty-making practices, making recommendations for regional-level dispute settlement to improve upon investor–state dispute settlement outcomes. This book provides a detailed analysis of the global investor–state dispute settlement regime and international investment agreements, and it will be of interest to students, academics, and practitioners with an interest in international investment law and arbitration.
