Issues facing Islamic Financial Institutions (IFI) with respect to Liquidity
• Too liquid– Financing deposit ratio (loan deposit ratio) of IFIs tend
to be higher than conventional FIs. As at end of June 2005 it stood at 61.5%
• Low returns– Returns from short term investments tend to be low
as compared to conventional
• Maturity mismatch– Liabilities are short term and assets are long term

• Limited investment opportunities– Short term investment products are very
limited especially at the global level
• Liquidity shortage– At the global level, IFIs have problems of
attracting short-term funds to meet cash flow requirements
– The absence of lender of last resort – e.g.,Ihlas Finance in TurkeyInternational Islamic University Malaysia

Efforts taken by IFIs to resolve Liquidity and Low Return issue
• Development of New Shariah Compliant Treasury products
• Enhancement of Liquidity Management Centre activities (Bahrain) via – Coordinated cross-border regulation– Homogenisation of products– Increased depth and breadth of market
through greater collobration with Islamic financial centres

potential exposure)– Immunizing balance sheet asset & liability exposure– Restructuring capital market and debt profiles (profit
