PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

COVID 19 has brought numerous financial and economic challenges for individuals, businesses and the wider community. The severity of these challenges has yet to be fully comprehended, but current predictions are pessimistic. Government initiatives such as credit moratoriums and others may offer borrowers some assistance, but on a temporary basis only. Borrowers will need to reinstate repayments to banks and when this happens, stress will inevitably be felt by the real economy.

At this sensitive time and in direct response to such stress, banks and financial institutions need carefully defined policies and procedures in place to constructively assist their customers, while at the same time safeguarding their own interests. To do this effectively Islamic banks have numerous considerations to consider, with Shariah and legal issues being among the most significant. The lack of precedent in handling rescheduling and restructuring cases only amplifies the challenges faced by banks during these extraordinary times. To help overcome these complex challenges, a clear legislative and regulatory framework is required by banks to ensure adherence and compliance to Shariah principles and other regulations.

This six-hour course will provide bankers, lawyers, Shariah, audit and compliance professionals involved in Islamic finance with a clear understanding of the key regulatory and Shariah issues surrounding rescheduling and restructuring of Islamic finance facilities, as well as crucial legal, procedural and documentation issues to consider when defaults occur.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Discuss the implications of COVID 19 on wider restructuring and rescheduling plans and policies for banks and financial institutions
  • Understand and review key guidelines and regulations on rescheduled and restructured financing, particularly in times of stress
  • Gain insight on the Shariah perspectives and issues regarding rescheduled and restructured financing, particularly in times of stress
  • Learn the legal procedures and issues in default
  • Understand the legal considerations in drafting documentation and its associated issues
  • Explanation of the Bank Negara Malaysia Shariah Advisory Council ruling and what it means for financial institutions
