  • SECP has been facilitating sustainable growth of Islamic Finance and a few outcomes of that were listing of energy sukuk of BHL, launch of first ever Shariah Compliant Exchange Traded Fund, approval of first ever Shariah Compliant development REIT, revamping of commodity Murabahah platform, reform and consistent active utilization of Murabahah share financing product, progress towards Islamic Financing against electronic warehouse receipts, approval of notation of green Modarbah and permission of Takaful operator to test parameter insurance, licensing of 2 Shariah Compliant financing companies and disbursement of Shariah Compliant loans by non-bank IFIs such as micro-finance institutions.
  • However, some structural challenges exist i.e., the financial landscape remains bank centric, the Islamic financial assets are predominantly in the form of CASA which can be in other products as well, only 8% of the Government debt securities (GDS) are available for the Islamic Banks, financial inclusion has been credit centric while private equity lacks the same level of attention, rural financial inclusion has been neglected.
  • Some suggestions included nation-wide committee for promotion of Islamic Finance and development of a sustainable Islamic Finance ecosystem, consideration of tax measures to promote use of Islamic Finance products and services among corporate sector and businesses, need to develop a culture for innovation and entrepreneurship in Islamic Finance, need for adaptation of technology to broad based Islamic Finance.
