DOCUMENT KEY POINTS
- frontiers of islamic banking a synthesis of social role and micro finance forthcoming in the european journal of management and public policy habib ahmed islamic research and training institute islamic development bank p
- given this social role islamic banks can complement the efforts of islamic microfinance institutions in providing the much needed funds to the poor to facilitate their economic upliftment
- after the failure of a few decades of topdown trickle down development policies to alleviate poverty in most developing countries the innovative microfinance initiative is considered a new paradigm for bringing about development and eradicating absolute poverty
- introduction the last quarter of the th century witnessed numerous financial innovations that catered to various needs of different segments of the society
- he points out that if the only difference between islamic and conventional banking practices is whether the business is interest based or not then the non islamic financial institutions probably can deliver islamic services in a better way that islamic banks
- can worsen both the adverse selection and moral hazard proble miss physical constraints inhibit the financial institutions to gather information on their prospective clients and once credit is advanced it is difficult to monitor the use of the funds
- loan repayment by an individual member of a group is the collective responsibility of all the members in the group and default by a member disqualifies all though different approaches to microfinance have evolved the format discussed here is that of grameen bank which serves as the dominant model for most group based microfinance institutions morduch
- whereas commercial banks are profit maximizing firms mfis are either government or non government organizations ngos formed to provide the poor with their much needed finance
- knowing these principles and norms are prerequisites to obtain loans from the mfi and are continuously inducted in the members during the weekly meetings at times necessary inputs to implement these social programs like tube wells for water oral re hydration salt etc
- assaduzzaman finds that whereas microfinance does increase the income level of the poor the current operations of mfis are not very effective in improving the lives of the extreme poor
- a subsidy dependence index sdi developed by yaron indicate that in grameen bank would have to increase its lending interest rate by an additional percent in order to breakeven without subsidies hashemi
- thus integrating islamic institutions of zakat charities and waqf with microfinancing will not only include the core poor in the program but also ensure the repayment of the funds to the islamic mfi
- for detailed discussions see el asker and haq for zakat and basar and cizaka for waqf
- another implication of lack of funds is as the officials of islamic mfis indicate that the benefits package given to employees is not as good as the established mfis operating in the neighborhood
- as a result funds from these sources cannot be employed in microfinancing using certain islamic modes of financing like mudarabah and musharakah
- social role of islamic banks and microfinancing though there have been discussions on the nature of an islamic enterprise in general for example see siddiqi khan focuses on the objectives of islamic banks
- while some training on conventional topics like accounting and administrative aspects are offered from time to time by the governmental agencies islamic oriented training sessions are lacking or too expensive when available
- for our analysis we breakdown the total number of employees of the mfi m into those working at the field level mf m and those who are not working there mh m mf
- note that these costs can be further divided as those incurred at the field level and those that are incurred away from the field costs at head office and regional offices
- the effect of an increase in the interest rate on loans il on the profit will be positive if the resulting increase in income offsets the decrease in income due to lower
- the effect of an increase in the employees in the field mf improves the supervision and monitoring of the use of credit and hence increases the income by raising the recovery of loans
- similarly an increase in the wages paid to employees wf will increase profit if the improvement in the recovery rate due to improved supervision exceeds that increased wages paid
- assuming that the islamic banks offer its beneficiaries the same rate of return as mfis ie ims ris on their savings then we can conclude that the borrowing costs of funds will be lower in case of islamic banks bci than mfis bc m as indicated below
- for example the funds from external sources are given on interest and the mfis are required to collect a fixed return from the beneficiaries
- larger islamic banks have their own in house training this cannot be done by those mfis in bangladesh that take funds from government funding agency pksf as a condition attached for funding is that the beneficiaries should start paying installments of equal amounts within two weeks of the disbursement of funds
- an islamic bank can frame a repayment schedule where the beneficiary pays a token small amount of money at the weekly meetings and pays the bulk of the debt when the asset or produce is sold
- as mentioned earlier this approach mitigates the adverse selection and moral hazard problems resulting from the fact that the intended use and user are different from the actual use and user of funds
- note that percent of the percent rate of return charged goes to a risk fund that is used repay installments of beneficiaries facing unusual problems and in case of emergencies
- the project officer however devotes only a part of the time for rds activities as he is an officer of the bank overlooking the activities of rds
- if the income of rds is calculated at a lowest rate of return of pe rcent charged by other islamic mfis then the profit with this rate of return under different assumptions of expenditures are shown in cases
- the high quality in house training provided by professionals in the training academy improves the skills of the workers increasing their productivity
- as more and more conventional banks begin to provide islamic financial services the spirit of islamic banks reflected by its social role will distinguish islamic institutions from non islamic one
