  • Banking Sweet Spots a Markaz M&A Potential Score “MMAPS” Approach
    Kuwait Financial Centre “Markaz” R E S E A R C H April 2008 Banking Sweet Spots A Markaz M&A Potential Score “MMAPS” approach A key question facing Gulf Co-Operation Council (GCC) companies for 2008 and beyond is: “How to sustain growth?” Driven by high oil price and robust investment environment, GCC companies have been posting record growth in earnings. However, there comes a tipping point after which growth will have to be bought. This is where the potential of mergers and acquisitions in the region takes a center stage. We believe that the impetus to this nascent but burgeoning industry comes from internal pressure on companies to buy growth as well as keenness of foreign companies to have serious Middle East exposure. From a modest USD 812 million of Markaz Research is deal values in 2003, the level reached a staggering USD 55 billion by the end of available on Bloomberg 2007. Key take aways from this include: Type “MRKZ” <Go> Most of the deals are cash financed (77%) reflecting high liquidity GCC companies look for opportunities predominantly cross-border (foreign acquisitions) Acquisitions have been mostly cross-sectoral & Financial services, especially banks, have been the hot spot of activity The growth in the M&A space has been aided by several enablers including high economic growth and the keen need for local companies to position for competition in an environment where protection wall has been slowly but steadily dismantled. However, there are several inhibitors to this growth that will act as unnecessary speed breakers to this process.

  • Use of W´Ad and Tawarruq for Swaps in the Framework of Islamic Finance
    8th International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance Use of W´ad and Tawarruq for Swaps in the framework of Islamic Finance Muhammad Ayub1 This paper tries to analyse the use of w´ad (promise) and tawarruq for derivative products of swaps and its implications for Islamic finance. After briefly discussing the essential principles of Islamic finance and the evolution of derivatives in the conventional finance, the paper analyzes the sharī´ah status of w´ad and muwa´adah and how these are different from ´aqd (contract). Paper also discusses few famous swaps and hedging products based on w´ad with or without tawarruq and examines them specifically from the sharī´ah point of view. Sharī´ah view regarding tawarruq practices and Fatwa of OIC Islamic Fiqh Council have been discussed briefly. The objective of the paper is to reiterate that financial swaps are against the basic principles of Islamic finance; if the present practice of their increasing use is not discontinued; all hopes of gradual improvement in products and practices of the emerging discipline will be lost. Structured products not conforming to the fundamentals of Islamic finance have potential to cause a serious breakdown in the financial system as already experienced in the global financial crisis. For the bright future of Islamic Finance, due consideration must be given to substance and consequences of the products. Key Words: Islamic swaps, W´ad, Commodity Murabaha, Thaman-al mithl, Speculation, Maqāsid-al-sharī´ah. 1. Introduction Swaps and other derivatives were initially considered among the prohibited areas of Islamic finance. With increasing use in the conventional finance during late 1990s as hedging and speculation tools, they came into the grey area particularly after M.

  • 1 Executive Summary Kuwait Is the Third
    Executive Summary Kuwait is the third-largest economy in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC, after Saudi Arabia and the UAE), and the Government of Kuwait has taken preliminary steps toward liberalizing sectors of its economy in the past year. Legislation passed in 2013 including a new FDI law and a commercial companies law aimed at easing constraints to doing business in Kuwait, and at establishing a “one stop shop” to help companies start operations in Kuwait. In March 2014, the Central Bank of Kuwait announced that foreign banks could open multiple branches in Kuwait – until that time, they could only open one branch. The April 2014 passage of historic telecommunications legislation potentially signals the government may liberalize the telecom sector and create opportunities for more competition in the coming years. After years of delays, the state oil companies in 2014 awarded several high-value contracts to foreign consortia to expand refinery capacities in Kuwait. Moves toward privatization of Kuwait’s stock exchange and its national airline have also begun. Nevertheless, Kuwait is perceived as a difficult place to invest in and do business with, and challenges to operating in the country remain. Kuwait ranked 104th in the world, and lowest in the GCC, on the World Bank’s 2014 ease of doing business survey, and the country has consistently attracted the lowest amounts of FDI in the entire Middle East and North Africa region. Implementation of new legislation has lagged, and significant barriers to foreign investment remain, including regulations barring foreign entities from the petroleum and real estate sectors, long bureaucratic delays in starting new enterprises, and a local business culture based on clan and family relationships that can be difficult for foreigners to navigate.
