Sukuk announcement effects - a multi-country study
No full textCapital market behavior and the effects of varying sources of capital on share price has long intrigued finance theorists (Brown & Warner, 1980) and the choice of conventional capital market instruments based on investor reaction, has been researched extensively (Abdul Rahim, 2012). Profit-driven firms focus on profit maximization and the creation of shareholder wealth. However, opting for internal funds over public fund-raising has been shown to signal quality to the market, thereby affecting overall company value (Ross, 1977). The introduction of Sukuk instruments since 2001 has also influenced market reaction (Ashhari et al., 2009). Therefore, we investigate the effects of Sukuk announcement based on different underlying structures and specific sample traits of size and tenor. The results also account for an empirically determined crisis period for each of the three largest corporate Sukuk issuing countries: Malaysia, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia. Over the last decade and a half, Islamic capital markets have developed in regulation, market reach, and product structures

Bilateral rebate (ibra' mutabadal) in Islamic banking operation: a critical appraisal
No full textThis study aims to examine the scholars' views on the legality of bilateral rebate in Islamic financial transactions. It also aims to evaluate the contemporary application of bilateral rebate in Islamic banking operation as an alternative to the conventional mechanism in handling the events of early settlement of debt, early termination of debt facility and early withdrawal of term deposit. The study used deductive and inductive methods to analyze the juristic literature of all the major schools of law on the legality of both bilateral and unilateral rebate in a financial transaction. The study found bilateral rebate (ibra' mutabadal), instead of unilateral rebate, to be the best and fairest Islamic mechanism to overcome injustice in several events that may impact the bank's liquidity such as that of early settlement of debt facility and early withdrawal of term deposit in the sense that the interest (maslahah) of both transacting parties is equally secured

Zakat al-duyun al-masrifiyat al-muajalat: al-ithar al-nazari 'ard wa taqwim
No full textThis research examines the issue of zakah on non-current banking debts within its theoretical framework. The main problems dealt with are the conflicting contemporary juristic opinions on the issue of zakah on non-current banking debts as well as the conflicting ways that these opinions have been implemented. This makes it necessary to pinpoint the most important causes for the controversy and to identify the weightiest opinion on the matter. The study begins by defining non-current banking debts and identifying their most salient characteristics. It then undertakes an explanation of the classical scholarly controversy regarding zakah on debts which are not yet due. The authors have chosen the second view, which is that zakah is obligatory on debts that are currently due and upon the capital and profits that will come due during the current financial year. Nevertheless, the authors see the necessity of an empirical study relying upon experts in the calculation of zakah to explore the economic impact that implementation of each of the three views mentioned would have and to choose the opinion that secures justice for both sides of the zakah function (those upon whom it is due and its rightful recipients). Regarding the aggregate wealth upon which zakah is due, the study has examined the views of contemporary scholars on the zakat able wealth of financial institutions. This is determined by accounting for all of the institution's assets and all of its liabilities. The study explains the most prominent resolutions on this matter, as well as the evidence cited, without voicing a preference for one resolution over another. The study also deals with the scholarly controversy regarding the zakah obligation on the government's share in Islamic financial institutions in which it owns all or part of the shareholder capital. The authors favor the third approach regarding the obligation of zakah on mixed wealth, that if the government rules it to be obligatory it shall be levied on all the shares, including those of the government

A dynamic analysis of output, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions in Malaysia
No full textPresent paper analyzes the interrelations between output, energy consumption, and carbon emissions in light of Malaysia's development experience from a commodity-based economy to an industrial-based economy by means of a vector autoregression (VAR) framework. The results suggest substantial interactions among the three variables. Moreover, manufacturing output tends to exert persistent influences on carbon emissions, energy consumption, and non-manufacturing output. Meanwhile, the significant causal relations from non-manufacturing output to energy variables are found for first few years. These results are robust to the inclusion of additional variables, namely, trade openness, investment, and population in the system
