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.
