This is due to the significant nimbler Islamic finance industry. Higher digitalization slowdown in core Islamic finance economies in 2020, amid and fintech collaboration could help strengthen the measures implemented by various governments to contain resilience of the industry in a more volatile environment the COVID-19 pandemic, and the expected mild recovery in and open new avenues for growth.

Issuing sukuk remains more complex and time consuming than conventional bonds. As with previous crises, the pandemic has shown that when Islamic finance issuers need swift access to capital markets, they typically use conventional instruments. However, there are some exceptions including issuers with already-established programs or that can tap a recent issuance; issuers that are under stress and need to access all available funding sources; or issuers that are domiciled in jurisdictions where the sukuk process is streamlined. Because of the pandemic, stakeholders are realizing the importance of inclusive standardization. 4 Islamic Finance Outlook 2021 Edition spglobal.com/ratings Foreword ا ﻟ لﯾوﻣﺗ ﻲﻣﻼﺳﻹا 2020-2021 : أ ﺔﻣز ﻓوﻛ ﯾ د -19 ﺗ ﻛ فﺷ نﻋ ﻓ صر ﺗ وط ﯾ ر رھوﺟ ﯾ ﺔ ﺔﯾرو ﻲﻓ ا ﻟ عﺎطﻘ .د دﻣﺣﻣ قﻣد رﯾدﻣ لوأ او ﺋرﻟ سﯾ ا ﻟ ﻌ ﺎ ﻲﻣﻟ ﻟ ﻠ لﯾوﻣﺗ ﻲﻣﻼﺳﻹا ﺪﻘﺘﻌ! ﺔﻟﺎ)و سإ" ﺪﻧآ ﻲ1 لﺎ6ﻮﻠﺟ تﺎﻔﻴ9ﺼﺘﻠﻟ "ﺔﻴﻧﺎﻤﺘﺋﻻا نأ ﻮﻤﻧ عﺎﻄﻗ ﻞFﻮﻤﺘﻟا ﻲﻣﻼﺳﻹا ﺄﻃﺎﺒLﻴﺳ ﻞRﺸP ظﻮSTﻣ VW ةXYﻔﻟا ةﺪﺘﻤﳌا ﺎﻣ ﺑ ن[ ن[ ﺑ ﺎﻣ ةﺪﺘﻤﳌا ً ً 2020-2021 ، و ذ ﻚﻟ P ﺪﻌ أ ن ﻖﻘﺣ ا ﻟ ﻄﻘ ﺎ ع ﻧﻤﻮا ﻗﻮFﺎ WV اﻟﻌﺎم 2019 ، ﺑﺪﻋﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻮق اﻟﺼRﻮك اﻟﺬي )ﺎن rYﻛأ ﻮﻴﺣ F ﺔ و F ﺮﺴﻔ ﻩﺬu ﺬ ً ا ﻟ ﺘ ﻮ ﻌﻗ تﺎ اﻟﺘﺒﺎﻃﺆ اﳌTSﻮظ WV اﻗﺘﺼﺎدات اﻟﺪول اﻷﺳﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﻟﻠﺘﻤﻮFﻞ اﻹﺳﻼﻣﻲ WV اﻟﻌﺎم 2020؛ ﻧLﻴﺠﺔ ﻟﻺﺟﺮاءات اﻟ~ اﺗﺨﺬÉÇﺎ اﻟﻌﺪﻳﺪ ﻣﻦ ا تﺎﻣﻮÖTR ءاﻮﺘﺣﻻ ﺟ ﺎ ﺋ ﺔﺤ ﻓﻮ) ﺪﻴ -19 ، و تﺎﻌﻗﻮﺘﻟا ﻖﻴﻘﺤﺘﺑ ا ﻧ ﺘ ﻌ شﺎ ﻣ ﻌ ﺘ لﺪ VW مﺎﻋ 2021. و6ﺎﻟﺮﻏﻢ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻈﺮوف اTÖﺎﻟﻴﺔ اﻟﺼﻌﺒﺔ، ﻧﺮى ﺑﺄن اﻟﻔﺮص ﻣﺘﺎﺣﺔ ﻹﻃﻼق إﻣ تﺎﻴﻧﺎR عﺎﻄﻘﻟا èêﻋ ىﺪﳌا ،ﻞFﻮﻄﻟا ﺺﺧﻷﺎ6و ﺎﻣ :èWﻳ î -1 ﻌ ﺘ ﺪﻘ ﺑ نﺄ تاودﻷا ﺔﻴﻟﺎﳌا ﺔﻴﻋﺎﻤﺘﺟﻻا VW عﺎﻄﻗ ﻞFﻮﻤﺘﻟا ﻼﺳﻹا ﻣﻲ ﻳﻤﻜﻦ أن !ﺴﺎﻋﺪ اﻟﺪول اﻷﺳﺎﺳﻴﺔ WV اﻟﻘﻄﺎع ، ،كﻮﻨﺒﻟاو ،كﻮﻨﺒﻟاو ، ً واﻟﺸﺮ)ﺎت، واﻷﻓﺮاد اﳌﺘﺄﺛﺮFﻦ اﻗﺘﺼﺎدﻳﺎ تﺎﻴﻋاﺪﺘﻟﺎﺑ ا ﻠﺴﻟ ﺒ ﻴ ﺔ Sﻟ ò ﺎ ﺋ ﺔﺤ ، ﻣﻊ ﺗﻄﻠﻊ اﳌﺸﺎرﻛ[ن WV اﻟﺴﻮق ﻟﻼﺳﺘﻔﺎدة ﻣﻦ أ ود تا تا ود أ )ﺎﻟﻘﺮض اTÖﺴﻦ، واﻟﺰ)ﺎة، واﻟﻮﻗﻒ، واﻟﺼRﻮك اﻻﺟﺘﻤﺎﻋﻴﺔ. و)ﺎن اﻟﺒﻨﻚ اﻹﺳﻼﻣﻲ ﻟﻠﺘﻨﻤﻴﺔ أول ﻦﻣ كﺮﺤﺗ É û ﺬ ا ا ﻻ ﺎﺠﺗ ﻩ ﻦﻣ لﻼﺧلﺧ ﻣ ﺠ اﺬûÉكﺤ ﻦ اﺪﺻإ ر كﻮRﺻ اﺪﺘﺴﻣ ﺔﻣ ﺑ ﺔﻤﻴﻘ 1.5 رﺎﻴﻠﻣ رﻻود ،ﻲFRﺮﻣأ ~ﻟاو ﺐﺴﺤﺑ ﺗﻘﺎرFﺮ ﺳLﺴﺘﺨﺪم ﺎﻋ اﺪﺋ É Ç ﺎ ﺎﺴﳌ ﺪﻋ ة ا ﻟ وﺪ ل ا ﻷ ﻀﻋ ﺎ ء VW ا ﻟ ﺒ ﻚﻨ ﻮﳌ £ﺟا ﺔ آ رﺎﺛ ا ò Ö ﺎ ﺋ ﺔﺤ ، èêﻋ ﮫﺟو ا Ö صﻮﺼ• ﺎﻄﻗ ¶ W ا ﺎﻋﺮﻟ ﺔﻳ ا ﻟ ßT ﻴ ﺔ و ا ﳌ ﺆ ﺴﺳ ﺎ ت ا ﻟ ﻐﺼ [ Y ة و ا ﳌ ﺘ ﻮ ﻄﺳ ﺔ . ﻧﺘﻮﻗﻊ إﺻﺪارات أﺧﺮى ﻣﺸﺎÉûﺔ WV اﻟﺪول اﻷﺳﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﻟﻠﺘﻤﻮFﻞ اﻹﺳﻼﻣﻲ، او ~ﻟ ﻌî ﺘ ﺪﻘ ﺎÉ©ﺄﺑ ﻦﻣ ﳌا ﻦﻜﻤ نأ ﺪﻋﺎﺴ!

  • Implementation of the Gold Dinar: Is It the End of Speculative Measures?
    Journal of Economic Cooperation 23 , 3 (2002) 71-84 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GOLD DINAR: IS IT THE END OF SPECULATIVE MEASURES? Dr. Abu Bakar Bin Mohd Yusuf * Nuradli Ridzwan Shah Bin Mohd Dali* Norhayati Mat Husin* The Asian economic crisis, which occurred in 1997, hit the Malaysian and neighbouring countries economies badly. Thailand and South Korea had to turn to IMF rehabilitation funds to ensure that they could revive their economic growth. Suprisingly, Malaysia took an unorthodox way by implementing capital control and pegging the National Ringgit Malaysia at 3.80 to the US dollar. Prime Minister Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad blames speculators which contributed heavily to the country's depreciating currency value, thus affecting the overall national economic condition. Even though the SEA countries are feeling the pain from the crisis, their overall economic conditions are moving towards positive reactions after several economic measures have been taken by the affected countries. In the process of economic recovery, Malaysia is searching for an alternative solution to decrease the possibilities of being attacked by speculators. Prime Minister Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad first expressed interest in a universal currency that could help unite Muslim countries after attending the OIC summit in Doha, Qatar, in November 2000. This paper will discuss whether the implementation of the universal currency, or the Gold Dinar will stop the speculators’ menace. 1. OVERALL FINANCIAL CRISIS Asia was slashed down by the international financial crisis which spread to other continents. Consequently, efforts to strengthen the architecture of the international financial system, involving finance ministries and central banks from both developed and emerging market economies, have been made.
