Abstract

Despite being a dynamic hub for the Islamic financial products and services, Malaysia’s Islamic fintech landscape does not meet expectations. With a number of challenges such as stringent regulations, lack of adequate funding, shortage of a skilled workforce, fierce conventional competitors etc. the future growth and progress might only remain an unfulfilled dream if they are not addressed timely. This paper is aimed at critically discussing these challenges faced by such companies. Also it aims at proposing potential measures to overcome the highlighted issues. But in order to validate the mentioned challenges and the potential remedies, an interview based approach is employed. The top and middle management of five full-fledged Islamic fintech companies were interviewed with the aim of ensuring whether the mentioned challenges actually exist or not. And whether the proposed solutions are practicable. Based on the findings from the interviews, it is observed that almost all the mentioned challenges are recognized by the companies. Although not all were in consensus regarding every issue, but in general they saw the challenges as legitimate. The proposed solutions were also well received and recognized as beneficial for the companies. Another finding from the interviews was additional challenges the companies saw as worrisome, such as lack of awareness and technological ignorance among the masses. The paper concludes with the recommendation for the relevant authorities to address the highlighted issues with seriousness. Further research may be carried out to provide solutions for the additional issues pointed out by the companies

Abstract

The moderating effect of Shariah Committee Quality (SCQ) on the relationship between Audit Committee (AC) characteristics and Malaysian Takaful performance remains a challenge that is yet to be resolved. Malaysia plays a leader role in Muslim countries in Islamic Finance especially in Takaful industry and Shariah committee roles and duties. AC characteristics have a significant effect on corporate financial performance. The fundamental AC role is to supervise the corporate’s financial reporting practice, review of financial reports, auditing practice, internal accounting controls, and risk management practices. AC characteristics plays a crucial role in the overall Malaysian Takaful companies which is supposed to enhance financial performance. Hence, SCQ as part of the internal governance structure and control body of the institution, thereby, ensure Shariah compliance in all transactions and activities, and enhancing the credibility of institutions in the eyes of its shareholders and customers. SCQ can potentially moderate the relationship between AC and Malaysian Takaful performance. As an important mechanism of Corporate Governance (CG), In addition, agency theory and stewardship theory were used to develop the hypotheses. Several results of the previous literature were found fraternized, and inconsistent regarding the SCQ effect on firm performance or its effect on AC characteristics in general context, while the literature on Malaysia context remain scarce. It is expected that this SCQ moderation may considerably improve corporate performance by determining the strength or weakness of the relationship between AC characteristics and firm performance. Therefore, this paper conceptualized that ‘SCQ’ moderates the relationship between AC Chairman Specialization, Shariah Background, AC Independence and Meeting frequency, and Malaysian Takaful performance.

Abstract

Money being the blood of economy and main determinant of many human transactions is an important topic to be discussed. Throughout the history there have been many who tried to explain nature and desired form of money in their writings. This topic has not skipped writings of Islamic religious scholars and economists as well. Current work attempts to review some of recent literature about essence of money from Islamic prospective. The review works which express different views from both Religious and Economic perspectives by six selective authors with diverse backgrounds. In the review, we mainly focus at the role of money as a social contract (between State and its citizens) and at some Shari’ah compliance issues faced by commodity (gold and silver) and paper (fiat) currencies. Some of our important findings show that the commodity currency had problem of breach from State’s side in some occasions, while paper currency is considered as an invalid contract by majority of the authors. The work concludes with summary of the authors’ opinions and points out their relative strengths and weaknesses from Shari’ah and Economic prospective, which is extended with some recommendations for further research.

Abstract

International trade and the movement of goods between parties living in different countries have spread in the last century and have become one of the fundamental features of the current trade. This proliferation of international contracts, of course, has its own problems. The problems of external Islamic or conventional letters of credit affect export, since letters of credit are considered a valuable tool used in financing foreign trade operations. Therefore, the problems faced by exporters in letter of credit reflect on and impact trade in general. Thus, the fewer the credit problems are, the more active foreign trade especially export will be. But if problems are relatively large, exports will contract. This study attempts to identify the problems of external and internal letters of credit facing the Jordanian traders and Jordanian Islamic and conventional banks, and to analyze them in an organized scientific manner, then proposing the appropriate recommendations to address these problems.

The alternative IPB will be explained in this paper is based on nature of business, which will be categorized as IPB for debt financing, equity financing and combine financing. To implement IPB there are some infrastructure that will need to adjust in order to create fair environment such as educate customer and change the behaviour of customer to choose financing product, to change the role of bank and to see the paradigm of cost of statuary reserve requirement in central bank.
