On behalf of the Islamic Finance Council UK (UKIFC) and the International Shari'ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) we would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of our speakers and delegates joining us for today’s event. After the success of our 2016 thematic workshop examining “Is the Current Model of Shari’ah Governance Fit for Purpose?” we received excellent feedback on both the format and quality of the discussions and thus have been very much looking forward to our next event. As not-for-profit developmental bodies we are committed to the progression of the sector and believe our thematic workshops provide a unique platform to shine a light on key issues and challenges facing the Islamic finance sector. Our carefully selected speakers are invited to share their open and honest views regarding difficult, contentious and sometimes emotive topics. We welcome balanced, practically-focused discussion and debate. This year’s workshop will explore the relationship between Islamic and ethical finance; a topic very relevant to both of our organisations. The UKIFC is a global leader in advancing the debate around the role Islamic finance plays within the ethical finance thematic. For over eight years the UKIFC has designed and built out award-winning innovative initiatives across mainstream ethical finance.

  • Intellectual Capital Profiles and Financial Performance of Islamic Banks in the UK
    Intellectual capital profiles and financial performance of Islamic banks in the UK Tasawar Nawaz Plymouth Business School University of Plymouth Plymouth PL4 8AA United Kingdom Abstract The main contribution of this paper is to report on the impact of intellectual capital (IC) on financial performance of Islamic banks operating in the United Kingdom (UK). Two distinct measures, return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average equity (ROAE) are used to measure the financial performance. The paper also controls for number of employees and bank size. Results based on the regression analysis suggest that IC efficiency proxied by the value added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) relates positively with financial performance of Islamic banks in the UK. The analysis further suggests that bank size and number of employees equally contribute in banks’ achieving higher financial performance. Additionally, the paper further ghettoises sub-components of IC namely; capital employed, human capital and structural capital to analyse the discrete impact of these IC constituents on financial performance. The analysis of the sub components suggests a positive relationship between physical and financial capital employed efficiency, human capital efficiency and performance. Keywords: Islamic banking and finance, intellectual capital efficiency, value added intellectual coefficient, financial performance, Islamic banks, United Kingdom. 1. Modern Islamic banking in the United Kingdom The roots of modern Islamic banking and finance in the United Kingdom (UK) can be traced back to the early 1980s when a Middle-eastern banking group, Al Barakah started its banking operations in the UK. However, the bank was forced to close in the early 1990s due to inflexibility by the UK financial regulatory authority.
