Summary

Under Shari’a Law, it’s important to manage finance and assets in a specific way which avoids credit or debt management processes being invoked. For businesses that require properties or other financial assets, the treasury setup and project plan needs to be strictly laid out with a contingency framework to prevent risks from damaging business success.

Working in an Islamic Financial Institution (IFI) means that you are required to be up to date on terminology, trading implications, and treasury procedures that may be affected by Sukuk. These policies and processes that are put in place from a financial perspective can vastly affect your business’s success.

It’s essential that you review the current money market and how amendments can create risks and challenges in your finances. You should take time to study liquidity management, long-term funding options, and capital adequacy across various jurisdictions and complete contingency frameworks to overcome financial downturns or loss if issues arise.

It’s also important to understand the most used Islamic tools which can be applied to forex and rate risks in order to secure funding and create long-term investment opportunities with minimal risk to the overall business.
