http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsbusiness.php?id=442989 Islamic Finance Can Also Face Systemic Failure & Reputation Risks, Says Economist KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Islamic finance could also face a systemic failure and reputation risk unless there is a unified and dynamic regulatory framework applied not only domestically but also globally, warned an economist and former International Monetary Fund (IMF) executive director Dr Abbas Mirakhor. He brushed aside claims that Islamic Finance was the most regulated financial sector as compared to the others. "It's not true. We may have more regulatory standards but there is no implementation of the standards in a unified manner and there is no organisation that supervises the instruments," he said in his public lecture entitled: " Strengthening The Islamic Finance System: Lessons From The Crisis," at the Securities Commission here Tuesday. Present at the lecture was the Raja Muda of Perak, Raja Dr Nazrin Shah, and Securities Commission chairman Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar. Mirakhor said currently every jurisdiction have their own Islamic regulations while in some cases none, which gives the opportunity for regulatory arbitrage and that people issue Islamic instruments which may be sub-par in jurisdiction which are very weak or no regulations and therefore create risk for the system. Therefore, the regulatory challenge is far more serious within the framework of Islamic Finance than in the conventional system. "And because Islamic Finance is at a very infancy stage of development, (when it fails) the reputation risk is very huge," he said. He said some of the Syariah scholars now know very little about finance. "And it seems it is becoming performable to put a stamp of approval so that an instrument can be issued. You may or may not know there has been instruments that has been in trouble but they all had their approval from Syariah scholars," he said. Therefore, Mirakhor said that to ensure a decent chance of growth and development, one has to make sure the regulations are unified and accepted by all jurisdictions. "So, we need to create a uniformed standardisation for Syariah products and at the same time you need a uniformed, comprehensive and universal regulatory system in place, which can have the authority of early warning when it comes to weak instruments," he said. However, the question is whether it should be done via an association of Islamic banks or central banks that have Islamic Finance operating in its jurisdiction. Such arrangements are not difficult but it depends very much on the "will" of the participants, said Mirakhor. He said Malaysia has the most advanced regulatory system todate for Islamic products and therefore it should take the lead towards the establishment of a unified framework. But whether Malaysia will be the "agency" or via some other new organisation, it depends on the will of the authorities in Islamic or non-Islamic countries where there are Islamic products being transacted.
