Micro Credit

The broad aim of this paper is to make an analogy between conventional banks and Islamic banking in micro-credit and the incentives they may provide for entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in a Mauritian perspective? Indeed, in Mauritius traditional or conventional banks are more and more reluctant to give loans to entrepreneurs who are considered as high risk investors (their fragile entrepreneurs may collapse unexpectedly) despite they create jobs and employment. In contrast, in most Islamic countries Islamic banks allow businessmen and investors among others to have loans without interest (or riba) according to sha’ria compliants and tailor made Islamic contracts (mudabara and musarakha) to support their innovations and proposals. Despite Islamic banking is at its burgeoning state it has expanded considerably in most Islamic and Arab countries. Would Islamic banks uproot conventional banks irrespective it is in Islamic countries or Western countries? This paper therefore adds to an already abundant literature on the subject-matter but it enlightens a central issue: would Islamic banking, sha’ria law and Islamic economies be the golden age for entrepreneurs and SMEs in Mauritius and worldwide?

Purpose – This paper aims to assess recent trends in lending modes and to address the reasons for and consequences of changes in Bangladesh’s Islamic banking sector. Design/methodology/approach – Theoretical discourse is used to generate an underpinning for the issues covered by the study. In addition, empirical evidence from the banking sector, including the information derived from interviews with the staff of three Islamic banks, is presented to achieve the research objectives. Findings – The findings clearly demonstrate that the Islamic banking sector has experienced a paradigm shift from participatory financing to asset-based financing. In particular, the murabaha mode of financing dominates the current lending structure, which follows the general trend of the global Islamic banking sector. Research limitations/implications – It is necessary to concentrate on the potential negative outcomes of the trade-based murabaha mode of financing in a developing country such as Bangladesh, as banks have less incentive under protective rent (profit) opportunities to train the experts to screen and monitor projects in other socially desirable sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing including the small and medium enterprises. Originality/value – Despite substantial growth of the Islamic banking sector, less research has been conducted to shed analytical light on the operations of Islamic banks from the perspective of loan disbursement to identify the disparities, if any, in between theory and practice in countries where both Islamic and conventional banks operate simultaneously. Using country-specific evidence, this study contributes to the debate by highlighting the paradigm shift of Islamic banks from participatory financing to the dominance of asset-based murabaha and other modes of lending, by identifying the fundamental causes that contribute to such a shift and by highlighting the consequences of such changes.

This study attempts to document the progress in Islamic banking industry of Pakistan towards fostering an egalitarian and equitable financial intermediation. It evaluates the progress of Islamic banking in enhancing socio-economic mobility, financial inclusiveness and fostering equitable distribution of income. This study uses a set of quantitative indicators to objectively assess the performance of Islamic banks towards fostering a participative, inclusive, cost-effective and real sector oriented financial intermediation. The results highlight that currently, the performance of Islamic banks on these fronts leaves much to be desired. This study highlights that high average cost of financing and limited focus on agriculture and small and medium enterprises requires improvement to achieve the goal of circulation of wealth and equitable distribution of income. It also identifies that various categories of poor people who need finance for their health, education and small business working capital needs cannot be served by Islamic banks by using the available product structures. This study gives a geographical presence of Islamic banks which shows that they are mainly based in big urban cities. It argues that most of the Islamic banking debt-based products are close, but relatively expensive substitutes. The study will help the industry to review its performance in contributing towards financial inclusiveness, social mobility, need fulfillment and equitable income distribution.

Conventional Banks

Purpose The skyrocketing rise of Islamic banking is noticeable in not only Islamic countries but also non-Islamic countries during the past few decades. Many conventional banks have started Islamic banking generally by maintaining separate branches/windows and occasionally by pursuing a complete conversion strategy. Following the global trend, two of the full-fledged Islamic banks adopted a conversion strategy consecutively in 2004 and 2008 in Bangladesh. The number of the conversion case is still limited. At this backdrop, this study aims to identify the incentives in the conversion strategy into Islamic banks. Design/methodology/approach Using the secondary data from the annual reports of the sample banks for both pre- and post-conversion periods, this study adopts the “case study” approach upon the comparison with the performance of conventional banks and other types of Islamic banks. Findings It is apparent that higher reserve requirement for conventional banks provides the incentive for the conversion into Islamic banks given with less reserve requirement. Under the protective regulatory framework, these converted Islamic banks may have enjoyed the rent for learning during the initial phase after the conversion, even though majority of the funds of these banks are collected from high-cost mudaraba time deposits. Basically, the credit strategy of the converted banks has been quite conservative, resulting in the concentrated portfolio selection on the asset-backed financing. However, the recent engagement of these banks in the Shari'ah-based participatory financing makes their performance a bit vulnerable. Research limitations/implications It is becoming difficult to justify a protective regulatory framework for incubating infant Islamic banks if the rent for learning given under the framework would not encourage them to challenge and absorb the risk and uncertainty associated with Shari’ah-based participatory financing. The current mode of profit–loss sharing (PLS) makes it difficult for the regulators to create an appropriate incentive for Islamic banks to challenge the equity-based financing. Originality/value The number of the conversion case is limited. Less has been done to investigate the reasons why the conventional banks opt for the conversion into Islamic banks, particularly in Bangladesh.

This research aims to determine the viability for the operation of Islamic banks within the Omani banking system. By looking into various opportunities for Islamic banking in Oman and given the unique rules on transactions (fiqh muamalat) of Islamic banking based on the Shariah precepts or the so-called Islamic law. As the establishment of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is rapidly growing in Oman, many SMEs can draw support from Islamic banks. The study used a mixed method approach to answer the research questions. Do the participants patronize Islamic banking over conventional banking?. The study compared both conventional and Islamic Banking. The population of the study represented bank officers, bank employees and customers. The sample of the study (n=100) participated in the survey. Another selected sample participated in interviews. Findings revealed different views over Islamic banking. Islamic banking is careful to provide products and services. Also, they are found to be capable of offering products and processes that answers the need of certain aspects with a risk management framework that is distinct from what normal banking provides. The study findings support the need for Islamic banking systems as it would be easier to spread Islamic banking and financing.
