Islamic Banking in Practice

A series with four volumes

This series will take the reader on a journey explaining how Islamic banking and finance works - how first principles are used to create financial products, from a simple bank deposit account to a $1bn Sukuk and structued investment notes

REVIEW - "From its very outset, this first volume, which tackles money market, FX and other market contracts, gives the view of a pioneer in the industry who was challenged with a blank sheet of paper and asked to create something from the ground up, without any guidance, without a frame of reference and the minimum of support infrastructure. The story that unfolds is very readable."

Chapters include:

  • Money markets

  • FX transactions

  • Using options, forwards, and swaps

  • Structured deposits

  • Total return swaps

​

This is how Islamic Banking really works

​

In a sector where publications focus on theory, the Islamic Banking in Practice series concentrates solely on market practice.

​

The evolution of principles into practice is explained clearly and concisely. How is a simple sale of metal used to deliver a total return swap? The reader is guided, step-by-step, as to how financial institutions create products, whilst ensuring compliance with Islamic commercial law.

​

Written by a globally recognised practitioner and expert, structuring and transactions are presented and explained in detail, covering:

  • Structuring

  • Risk

  • Pricing

  • Execution
