FINTECH An Enabler For Islamic Social Finance By Zainab Fida Ahsan Islamic Finance Today - July 2020 IFT 4 he onset of change in our lives today, from technology to Tglobalization to climate change has led to a world of accelerating change from which new abundance and prosperity bloom, but where opportunity remains unjustly distributed. While the pace of development and progress towards Industry 4.0 is pretty impressive, there still remain vast differences in socio-economic empowerment and prosperity across demographies. Why FinTech Matters FinTech is the term given to financial service firms whose products or services are based upon technology, often resulting in highly innovative, pioneering services. Fintech firms are often characterized as high-growth, combining innovative business models and technology to disrupt the financial sector. FinTech has the potential of opening the floodgates of progress and financial inclusion, as it can help navigate both costs of operations as well as the tedious processes involved in creating regulatory changes in the workings of central authorities. While regulatory controls are of course necessary for any system to work efficiently, technology and digitalisation have enabled quicker processing and handling of economic interactions. This has led to the development of RegTech (Regulatory Technology) and initiatives by some progressive Central banks to establish sandboxes to support the startup ecosystem in their economies. Blockchain technology is a key mechanism deployed in FinTech projects and has created quite a hype in the financial world. The World Economic Forum predicts that 10 percent of the world’s GDP could be stored using blockchain by 2025. If just a fraction of the market could be replaced with peer-to-peer transactions and cryptocurrencies there could be huge potential benefits, especially the creation of opportunities in the developing world. One of the biggest issues that unbanked people face is financial literacy. Sometimes those who could be included don’t have the literacy skills to navigate the complex documentation required, or understand how the system as a whole will work. In fact, many of those that could acquire formal identification and finance simply don’t know how. 4 Islamic Finance Today - July 2020 IFT 5 Future of Blockchain Humaniq, a tech startup powered by blockchain technology, hopes to solve this problem by providing an easy-to-use interface that can be understood by anyone, regardless of language or educational background. The developers are using the smartphone revolution to help the developing world move a step closer to full-scale financial inclusion. Through facial recognition software, the application offers an alternative form of identification, allowing users to work, borrow, lend, save and pay across the internet. Humaniq creates win-win opportunities for both partners and the world’s poorest, using a system built upon humanitarian capitalism – profit with a purpose – that could empower lives and offer a high ROI for investors. International agencies such as the The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) are deploying cutting-edge blockchain technology to make cash-based transfers faster, cheaper and more secure. In Jordan’s Azraq camp, for example, 10,000 refugees are now able to pay for their food by means of entitlements recorded on a blockchain-based computing platform. This was developed by WFP as part of a pilot known as ‘Building Blocks’. WFP’s system relies on biometric registration data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and uses biometric technology for authentication purposes. Refugees purchase food from local supermarkets in the camp by using a scan of their eye instead of cash, vouchers or e-cards. Islamic Finance Today - July 2020 IFT 6 Towards Financial Inclusion Many insights from the industry show recognition for the role of technology in revolutionizing many sectors of the global economy, and how finTech can further the cause of financial inclusion. There are interesting parallels with the development objectives envisioned in the Islamic tradition. Financial technology essentially disrupts traditional methods of delivering financial services, with philanthropic spending not being an exception. While crowdfunding solutions and blockchain are already being applied in certain jurisdictions to address social finance issues, there still remains a void of effective policies in the Islamic social welfare sector. Social finance is vitally important due to its scale, inclusiveness, and differentiation. According to Aamir A Rehman, Senior Advisor on Islamic Finance, UNDP, Social finance has long been a means for Islamic finance to contribute to the world. Embracing new technologies, enhanced governance practices, and international partnerships can help the sector expand its contributions and communicate these contributions as part of a common global cause. 6 Islamic Finance Today - July 2020 IFT 7 For instance, the Islamic Development Bank Group (IsDB) estimates the potential of Zakat alone to be as much as US$1 trillion per year. However, there is significant frustration with the lack of transparency, accountability and impact of traditional forms of giving. Crowdfunding initiatives that connect donors with entrepreneurs may be a promising solution to this frustration. One such initiative is Human Crescent, a new strategic platform that lends voice and support to displaced populations worldwide. By combining the power of storytelling by sharing the personal journeys of refugees, activists and influencers in the space with blockchain-driven crowdfunding, Human Crescent seeks to contextualise traditional beneficiary groups to humanitarian needs of the modern world. LaunchGood is a global crowdfunding platform to support Muslims all across the world by helping them raise funds for their campaigns. It is a powerful example of how the power of community and crowdgiving can create exponential impact in millions of lives. EthisCrowd, part of Ethis Ventures, is a successful Real Estate Islamic Crowdfunding Platform that enables people to invest in affordable social-housing projects.

  • Participatory Banking (PB) Taking Measures Against Covid-19 in Turkey Issues and Proposed Strategies Rusni Hassan Zulfahmi
    Turkish Journal of TUJISE Islamic Economics Participatory Banking (PB) Taking Measures Against Covid-19 in Turkey Issues and Proposed Strategies Rusni Hassan Zulfahmi Abstract: Not much research has been carried out to examine Participatory Bank (PB) in Tur- key. This is despite the fact that Turkey has a long history in Islamic civilisation. The legacy of strong Islamic law, the majority Muslim population, and the strategic location of the country have failed to serve as a catalyst to boost the market share of participatory banking in the coun- try. The present study aims to explore problems, solutions, and strategies for developing PBs in Turkey. This research also captures the condition of PBs in facing the Covid-19 pandemic. The study adopts a qualitative method that uses library research benefitting from various sources of literature, namely books, journals, and other sources. Semi-structured interviews were conduct- ed with experts including practitioners, regulators, and academicians who have direct involve- ment in PB. The findings are presented in the form of Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat (SWOT) of PBs in Turkey. Interestingly, the preliminary finding shows that the problems of PBs in Turkey stem from both internal and external factors. Lack of understanding and skills, and lack of good Shariah governance practices are the main internal factors. Lack of regulato- ry support, lack of public literacy, lack of academic research and educational institutions, and a regulatory system are the primary external factors. The study suggests two main solutions, namely internal and external solutions, as well as strategies to address the problems. This study could serve as a reference point for the regulator in formulating appropriate policy strategies to increase the market share of PB in Turkey.

    (2020) 32 SAcLJ 373 THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OF THE MALAYSIAN JUDICIARY ADJUDICATING ISLAMIC FINANCE MATTERS Since the introduction of Islamic finance in Malaysia three and half decades ago, the Malaysian judiciary has been confronted with various legal issues involving Islamic finance. While it is not the purpose of the article to provide an exhaustive list of decided cases1 in chronological order, the aim is to highlight the main issues impacting the practical aspects in the Islamic finance industry, namely, the issues of ibra’ (waiver), late payment charges, reference to the Shariah Advisory Council, enforceability of non-Shariah-compliant contracts and sukuk default. This is done through an analysis of reported court cases by the Superior Courts. It is found that the courts have adopted a pragmatic approach in dealing with Islamic finance matters of practical importance, hence providing clarity and certainty to the industry players.
