It discusses the Shari‘ah issues and other challenges in the practice of wa‘d. Finally, it determines the prospects of wa‘d-based products in both countries. It adopts a qualitative case study approach while choosing three Islamic banks in each country for case study. Along with library research and document analysis, it conducts interviews with Islamic banking practitioners and Shari‘ah scholars. It follows thematic and a comparative method to analyse the data. The findings of this study show that Malaysia has innovated numerous products based on wa‘d while Bangladesh has a limited number of products. The major challenge of wa‘d in Malaysia is Shari‘ah issues. However, this study concludes that Malaysian practice of wa‘d is free from the issues of Shari‘ah claimed by a few studies. Nevertheless, Malaysia should have a legal provision for wa‘d in the Contract Act and a guideline for the practice of wa‘d. In the case of Bangladesh, the major challenges of wa‘d are (1) the strictness of the Shari‘ah scholars, (2) lack of product development initiative, (3) and the absence of a legal provision for wa‘d. However, both countries have significant potential to develop a number of Islamic retail-banking and treasury products through using wa‘d. iii ABSTRAK Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai amalan aplikasi wa'd dalam produk perbankan Islam di Malaysia dan Bangladesh serta membuat perbandingan di antara keduanya. Ia akan membincangkan mengenai isu-isu Syariah dan cabaran-cabaran lain dalam pengaplikasiannya. Kajian ini juga dilakukan adalah untuk mengetahui prospek-prospek bagi produk berasaskan wa'd di kedua-dua buah negara iaitu Malaysia dan Bangladesh. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kajian kes kualitatif dengan memilih tiga buah perbankan Islam di setiap negara sebagai kajian kes. Di samping kajian perpustakaan dan analisis dokumen, temu bual juga dilakukan dengan pengamal perbankan Islam dan para ilmuan Syariah. Kaedah tematik dan analisis perbandingan digunakan untuk menganalisis data. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa Malaysia telah memperkenalkan banyak produk berasaskan wa'd sementara Bangladesh mempunyai bilangan produk yang terhad. Cabaran utama aplikasi wa'd di Malaysia adalah berkaitan isu-isu Syariah. Walau bagaimanapun, melalui hasil kajian ini dapat disimpulkan bahawa amalan aplikasi wa'd di Malaysia bebas daripada isu-isu Syariah seperti yang dibincangkan oleh beberapa kajian lepas. Namun begitu, Malaysia perlu mempunyai peruntukan undang-undang dalam Akta Kontrak serta garis panduan untuk amalan aplikasi wa'd di perbankan Islam di Malaysia. Dalam kes Bangladesh, cabaran utama wa'd adalah: (1) ketegasan para ilmuan Syariah, (2) kekurangan inisiatif pembangunan produk (3) dan tiada peruntukan undang-undang bagi wa'd. Walau bagaimanapun, kedua-dua negara mempunyai potensi besar dalam membangunkan produk-produk perbankan runcit Islam dan perbendaharaan melalui penggunaan wa'd. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All Praises to Allah (SWT) who has given me the strength and guidance to complete this work.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lackingfrom the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a iBrge round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a smalt overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.

  • Liquidity from Two Lending Facilities
    Liquidity from Two Lending Facilities Sriya Anbil Angela Vossmeyer Federal Reserve Board∗ Claremont McKenna Collegey August 10, 2017 Abstract During financial crises, the Lender of Last Resort (LOLR) uses lending facilities to inject critical funding into the banking sector. An important obstacle for policymakers is designing the facility so that banks are not reluctant to approach due to stigma, and attracting banks with liquidity concerns rather than those prone to risk-taking and moral hazard incentives. We use an unexpected disclosure that introduced stigma at one of two similar LOLRs during the Great Depression to evaluate whether or not banks used LOLR assistance to improve their liquidity needs using a novel trivariate model with recursive endogeneity. We find evidence that banks that approached the facility with stigma were less liquid and reduced their position of safe assets in comparison with banks that approached the facility with no stigma. Thus, stigma forced the pool of LOLR borrowers to separate into different groups of banks that ex-post revealed their liquidity preferences to policymakers. This finding informs policymakers' ex-ante decision of designing a facility that only attracts banks with liquidity concerns. 1 Introduction During the recent financial crisis, the Federal Reserve (Fed) acted as the Lender of Last Resort (LOLR) to inject critical liquidity into the banking sector through its main emergency lending facility, the discount window (Armantier et al., 2015). The discount window was designed to alleviate funding stresses in the banking sector, thereby lessening a \credit crunch" to the real economy. However, banks were reluctant to borrow from the Federal Reserve's discount window because, if it somehow became known, would lead market participants to infer weakness { the so- called stigma problem (Bernanke, 2009).

  • A Black Swan in the Money Market
    FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF SAN FRANCISCO WORKING PAPER SERIES A Black Swan in the Money Market John B. Taylor Stanford University John C. Williams Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco April 2008 Working Paper 2008-04 http://www.frbsf.org/publications/economics/papers/2008/wp08-04bk.pdf The views in this paper are solely the responsibility of the authors and should not be interpreted as reflecting the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. A Black Swan in the Money Market* John B. Taylor Stanford University John C. Williams Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco First Version: February 21, 2008 Updated: April 2, 2008 ABSTRACT At the center of the financial market crisis of 2007-2008 was a highly unusual jump in spreads between the overnight inter-bank lending rate and term London inter-bank offer rates (Libor). Because many private loans are linked to Libor rates, the sharp increase in these spreads raised the cost of borrowing and interfered with monetary policy. The widening spreads became a major focus of the Federal Reserve, which took several actions—including the introduction of a new term auction facility (TAF)—to reduce them. This paper documents these developments and, using a no-arbitrage model of the term structure, tests various explanations, including increased risk and greater liquidity demands, while controlling for expectations of future interest rates. We show that increased counterparty risk between banks contributed to the rise in spreads and find no empirical evidence that the TAF has reduced spreads.

This new report is intended for financial institution Executives and Board Members to easily see trends of an institution’s key ratios. Users will access this report in the same manner they currently access the UBPR with the ESR showing as a separate report above the current UBPR on the online report selection menu. For the key ratios on the report, the current quarter, previous quarter, year ago quarter and year-to-date information will be displayed. Similar to the current UBPR data, a user will have the ability to view graphs of key financial data from the current period all the way back to 2002. Another enhancement being implemented at this time is the ability for a user to compare an institution’s UBPR financial data against up to 30 other institutions using the new multiple bank report functionality. This functionality is accessed by generating a UBPR report, selecting a UBPR report page, selecting “View Multiple Bank Report” as a new option on the report page, and selecting the institutions to compare against. Similar to the current UBPR and the new Executive Summary Report, the Multiple Bank Report can be printed or downloaded.
