Download Brochure

About The Seminar

Tawarruq is the preferred choice of contract for bankers not just for working capital requirements, but also for asset financing, mortgages, trade financing, fixed deposits, structured investments, and even savings account. In the last decade, Malaysia has experienced a rapid growth in Tawarruq based products for this reason. Hence, ensuring Shariah compliance with the policy document of Bank Negara is of paramount importance for all Islamic financial institutions (IFIs). This seminar offers comprehensive, concise and insightful update on the Shariah standards and operational requirements as well as legal documentation of Tawarruq and Tawarruq-based products. On the contrary, Tawarruq has also attracted criticisms as it imitates the conventional structures. Hence, we explore on how we can move beyond Tawarruq by evaluating some alternatives in the final session of the seminar to ignite further discussion amongst industry practitioners to drive innovation in the industry.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Assess the key Shariah and operational requirements for Tawarruq
  • Examine the legal documentations for Tawarruq
  • Formulate Tawarruq-based products with other contracts/concepts

Central bank proposes lighter Sukuk rules, temporary incentives to build Philippine market

Read our full daily cover story here: https://www.islamicfinancenews.com/central-bank-proposes-lighter-sukuk-rules-temporary-incentives-to-build-philippine-market.html

LATEST POSTS

September has got off to a strong start for dollar September has got off to a strong start for dollar-denominated Sukuk, with issuance in the first week already matching the combined total raised in July and August.

Four benchmark Sukuk have been printed so far this month: the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)’s US$1.5 billion offering, its second in 2026; Arab National Bank’s US$750 million Additional Tier 1 Sukuk; Kuwait International Bank’s (KIB) unsecured US$500 million paper; and the Saudi government’s US$3.25 billion Sukuk. The dollar pipeline is looking promising with alrajhi bank preparing to tap the market with a Tier 2 social Sukuk.

The Saudi government issuance is notable given that Fitch Ratings had said in July that it was not anticipating any new public external US dollar sovereign Sukuk in the second half of 2026, after Saudi Arabia concluded its funding plan. Malaysia’s US$1.5 billion return to the dollar Sukuk market in July was similarly notable, coming after a five-year hiatus.
