provides a mechanism for access to liquidity on a collateralized basis
(based on the Shari’ah principle of Ar’rahn) utilizing Sukuk and other Islamic securities portfolio
as collateral It is an important new tool for IFI’s
as they seek to address the increased global regulatory focus on liquidity and collateral

Basel Core Principles vs. CPIFR (Banking)
18
9 BCBS Core Principles were transposed to the CPIFR unamended.
19 principles were transposed with some amendments.
The principle of interest rate risk was not transposed due to entire inapplicability.
4 new principles that are unique to Islamic finance institutions were added.
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS
1. CPIFR 14 - Treatment of Investment Account Holders (IAH)
2. CPIFR 16 - Sharī`ah Governance Framework
3. CPIFR 24 - Equity Investment Risk4. CPIFR 26 - Rate of Return Risk5. CPIFR 32 - Islamic Windows
19
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS -IAH
CPIFR 14 - Treatment of Investment Account Holders (IAH): “The supervisory
authority determines how IAH are treated in its jurisdiction. The supervisory authority
also determines the various implications (including the regulatory treatment,
governance and disclosures, and capital adequacy and associated risk-absorbency
features, etc.) relating to IAHs within its jurisdiction.”
In the current practice, the treatment of UIAH, under a Mudarabah contract, for
the calculation of CAR varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Besides, in some countries, IIFS maintain one or both of two types of prudential
reserves, as part of their strategy for mitigating displaced commercial risk: Profit
Equalisation Reserve (PER) and Investment Risk Reserve (IRR).
If the use of such reserves is not adequately controlled by the supervisory
authority, the consequence is an ‘intergenerational’ problem for IAH, since the
existing IAH are disadvantaged against future IAHs.
From the above, the Principle embraces the governance issue for PSIAs as well
as the capital adequacy issues.
20
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS -UIAH
When Unrestricted Investment Account Holders are treated as Investors :
•Bear all the earning volatility
•Bear Risk of losses except misconduct & negligence in part of the IIFS
•So exclude ASSETS financed bu UIA from denominator of the Capital Adequacy formula
21
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS -UIAH
When UIAs are treated as a LIABILITY of the IIFS
• IIFS bears the risks of assets funded by IAH
22
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS
CPIFR 16 - Sharī`ah Governance Framework: “The supervisory authority determines
that IIFS have a robust Sharī`ah governance system in order to ensure an effective
independent oversight of Sharī`ah compliance over various structures and processes
within the organisational framework. The Sharī`ah governance structure adopted by an
IIFS is commensurate and proportionate with the size, complexity and nature of its
business. The supervisory authority also determines the general approach to Sharī`ah
governance in its jurisdiction, and lays down key elements of the process.”
IIFS have to ensure that their products and services comply with Shari`āh rules and principles. For this purpose, IIFS rely on the governance process and internal controls. In all aspects of IIFS operations including products and services, a governance structure, policies and procedures must exist to ensure that the Shari`āh rules and principles are adhered to at all times.
The IFSB’s guiding principles on Sharī`ah governance (IFSB-10) address the components of a sound Sharī`ah governance system, especially with regard to the competence, independence, confidentiality and consistency of Sharī`ah boards.
The supervisory authority should ensure that an IIFS have in place a comprehensive framework dealing with various issues such as hiring and dismissing Sharī`ah scholars, checking accountability and integrity (fit and proper test), and any potential for conflicts of interest.
23
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS
CPIFR 24 - Equity Investment Risk: “The supervisory authority satisfies itself that adequate policies and procedures including appropriate strategies, risk management and reporting processes are in place for equity investment risk management, including Mudārabah and Mushārakah investments in the banking book (i.e. financing on a profit-and-loss sharing basis), taking into account the IIFS’s appetite and tolerance for risk. In addition, the supervisory authority ensures that the IIFS have in place appropriate and consistent valuation methodologies; define and establish the exit strategies in respect of their equity investment activities; and have sufficient capital when engaging in equity investment activities.”
This principle covers the issues pertaining to the management of risks inherent in the holding of equity instruments including Muḍārabah and Mushārakah investments in the banking book for investment purposes.
The supervisory authority may develop regulatory guidelines for measuring, managing and reporting the risk exposures when dealing with non-performance investments and providing provisions according to the Sharī`ah rules and regulations.
24
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS
CPIFR 26 - Rate of Return Risk: “The supervisory authority determines that IIFS have adequate systems to identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, report and control or mitigate rate of return (ROR) risk in the banking book on a timely basis. These systems take into account the IIFS’s risk appetite, risk profile and market and macroeconomic conditions. The supervisory authority also assesses the capacity of an IIFS to manage the ROR risk and any resultant DCR, and obtains sufficient information to assess its IAHs’ behavioral and maturity profiles.”
This additional principle is aimed to replace the existing BCP 23 (Interest rate risk).
This principle ensures that the supervisory authority’s assessment will be forward-
looking by evaluating the possible factors in the risk profiles of an IIFS’s portfolio
over the coming period, and the extent to which control of displaced commercial risk
can help mitigate the rate of return risk.
25
Unique CPIFR principles for IIFS
CPIFR 32 - Islamic Windows: “Supervisory authorities define what forms of Islamic “windows” are permitted in their jurisdictions. The supervisory authorities review Islamic windows’ operations within their supervisory review process using the existing supervisory tools. The supervisory authorities in jurisdictions where windows are present satisfy themselves that the institutions offering such windows have the internal systems, procedures and controls to provide reasonable assurance that: (a) the transactions and dealings of the windows are in compliance with Sharī`ah rules and principles; (b) appropriate risk management policies and practices are followed; (c) Islamic and non-Islamic business are properly segregated; and (d) the institution provides adequate disclosures for its window operations.”
The issue of Islamic banking ‘windows’ is important. Islamic windows are present
in a majority of the IFSB member jurisdictions where Islamic finance is operating
Supervisory practices for regulating Islamic windows, in particular relating to
capital requirements, vary considerably across jurisdictions. This diversity of
windows’ operations raises a number of issues on supervision which are
substantially the same as those raised by fully-fledged IIFS.
This principle covers high level requirements such as governance, risk
management, internal controls, capital adequacy, etc.
26
2.2. IIFM- Interbank unrestricted Master investment wakalah agreement
( IIFM Inter-Bank Unrestricted Master Investment Wakalah Agreement is supplemented with an Operational Guidance Memorandum)
This global standard documentation is developed
to be used in the Islamic inter-bank market between financial institutions
in order to manage their liquidity requirements
The Operational Guidance Memorandum for the Wakalah agreement is one of the unique features of IIFM efforts
to enhance the development of Islamic finance industry.
This Memorandum is very useful whereby it explains how the standard to be used and in addition to that it provides very
comprehensive recommendations
27
IIFM Inter-Bank Unrestricted Master Investment Wakalah Agreement
The Investor, the Muwakkil
will appoint the Wakil as its Agent
to invest its funds in a Shari’ah compliant manner
in exchange for a fee,the Wakalah pool can be managed
on a segregated asset pool or
comingled asset pool basis at the Wakil’s discretion,
early termination which can be caused by the occurrence of default by either party, the calculation treatment of these events
are well defined in this documentation
the Wakil is obliged to notify the Muwakkil if the anticipated profit cannot be achieved etc.,
28
REPO vs. Collateralised murabaha
Conventional repos allow institutions
to lend out assets for short periods
to generate liquidity;
this is disallowed in Islamic finance
as it entails the charging of interest.
Collateral is often lent out by custodians,
a practice known as rehypothecation,
which also contravenes Islamic principles.Even the phrase "Islamic repo" is problematic among scholars who fear
the instruments will simply replicate conventional financial products without addressing a real economic need.
29
REPO vs. Collateralised murabaha
Collateralised murabaha
is a cost-plus profit arrangement which tries to avoid
such issues by having the financier buy the asset at market value and immediately sell the asset to the customer for a mark-up on a deferred payment
basis.
Because the mark-up price is agreed up front by both parties,
this addresses the element of ambiguity, or gharar, a key principle in Islamic finance.
Transactions can be secured by any sharia-compliant assets, including equities and sukuk (Islamic bonds).
The standard expressly forbids rehypothecation.

3.1. implementation of IFSB standards
IFSB makes important surveys covering Regulatory and Supervisory Authorities (RSAs) and market players.
The findings of these surveys, which provided a detailed picture of the requirements, intentions and plans of its
members over the medium to long term,
gave a clear indication of the direction of
regulatory reforms in Islamic finance.
In particular, the findings highlighted those areas that the IFSB members feel must be addressed as a priority –
jointly by them and the IFSB – to assist in the all-important objective of standards implementation
46
Implementation of the IFSB Standards
The IFSB members
implement the IFSB’s standards and guidelines
on a voluntary basis.
Each member of the IFSB is entitled to determine its own timeline for implementation based on the market and industry
dynamics in its territory/jurisdiction.
The IFSB undertook its third IFSB Standards Implementation Survey in 2014 (2014 Survey)
to assess the implementation status of
the IFSB standards, with a view to formulating policy recommendations for the implementation process over the
medium to longer term.47
2014 Survey
The number of respondent RSAs was
30 from 22 countries,
which consisted of 21 IFSB full members,
seven associate members, and
two observer members from
Asia, GCC, North Africa and West Africa.
As of end-December 2014,
a total of 16 IFSB standards covering the three sectors of the IFSI – namely, Islamic banking, Takāful and the Islamic capital market – were assessed in the survey
questions.48
The key findings of the 2014 Survey
(a) Banking SectorAll the IFSB standards in the banking sector,
including those issued recently, have been implemented by one or more RSAs
Based on the assessment on 22 RSAs which are supervising the banking sector,
a total of 12 RSAs (55% of respondents) have implemented one or more standards,
2 RSAs (9%) were in the process of implementing them (“in
progress”), and
6 RSAs (27%) were planning to implement the IFSB standards.
49
IFSB-1: Capital Adequacy, IFSB-3:Corporate Governance and
IFSB-4: Disclosure to PromoteTransparency and Market Discipline.
About one-third of respondent bankingRSAs
implemented
Another 15–20% of RSAs were
in the process of implementing them, and
about one third of RSAs were
planning to implement those standards.
50
IFSB-15: Revised CapitalAdequacy
Already implemented by
one-third (7 out of 21) of RSAs
within a year after its issuance,
and around 50% (11 outof 21) RSAs
were in the process or
planning to implement the standard.
51
IFSB-13: Stress Testing and IFSB-16: Revised Supervisory Review Process
More than one-fifth of RSAs had implemented
and most of the RSAs indicated that they were
planning to implement those standards.
52
IFSB-12: Liquidity Risk Management
Only IFSB-12: Liquidity Risk Management has a low implementation rate
(9%, or 2 out of 22 RSAs)
however,
another 41% RSAs (9 out of 22)
were in the process of implementing the standard
53
IFSB-2and IFSB-7,
The two IFSB Capital Adequacy Standards for IIFS,
were completely implemented by
70% (7 out of 10 respondent RSAs) and
57% (4 out of 7 respondent RSAs) respectively.
However, the results are not conclusive because
of the low number of responses for these two standards. Since IFSB-2 and IFSB-7 are mainly based on Pillar 1 of
Basel II, only banking RSAs that are adopting Basel II responded to these standards.
54
3.2. implementation of IIFM standards
According to
«International Islamic Financial Market (IIFM) Research Survey 2015»
IIFM Standard Agreements & Product Templates are;
Used by 43 repondents 39.45%
Not used by 66 respondents 60.55%
( out of 109 respondents )
55
implementation of IIFM standards
The MCMA Agreement used by 21 respondents 45.65%
The Master Wakalah Agreement used by 22 47.83%
PRS Two Sales Structure used by 08 17.39 %
PRS Single Sale Structure used by 08 21.74%
The TMA Agreement used by 26 56.52%
The MATP Agreement used by 26 56.52%
( Total Respondents 46 )
56
The overall rating of the standards developed by IIFM.
37.29% (30) have found the standards developed by IIFM excellent. 37.97% (30) have found it
above average 24.05% (19) found it good
(Total Respondents 79 )
57
3.3. implementation of AAOIFI standards
AAOIFI has gained assuring support for the implementation of its standards, which are now adopted in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Dubai International Financial Centre, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Sudan and Syria. The relevant authorities in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and South Africa have issued guidelines that are based on AAOIFI’s standards and pronouncements.
58
4. CONCLUSION
Regulation, supervision, documentation and financial reporting are very critical issues
regarding the confidence on Institutions offering Islamic Financial Services
because of the fiduciary relation as well as all other Institutions offering Financial Services
It is a must for Financial Stability to have standards in such issues
Globalization of Islamic Finance by cross border transactions and multinational investments requires high quality standards for having international confidence and
trust on islamic financial instruments and institutions
59
CONCLUSION (cont.)
Parallel to the development of Islamic Finance Industry and its international recognition,
international standard setters on Islamic Finance Industry
are having cooperation with conventional standard setters
Because of the dynamic and inductive nature
of such standards
there is a continuous change depending on the needs of the industry best practices
60
