Abstract

The major distinctive feature of the Islamic banking as compared to the conventional one lies on the pricing mechanism. The ‘new’ system applies variable pricing mechanism, as reflected on the Profit and Loss Sharing (PLS) system, meanwhile the ‘old’ system applies fixed pricing mechanism, as reflected on the Interest Based (IB) system. Several implications arise from this very basic difference. This paper discusses the implementation of Islamic banking, its socio-economic effect and its role in the development. As a new type of banking system, Islamic banking attracts serious attention from the business players and regulatory authority as well, around the world. The discussion in this paper includes comparison be¬tween these two systems on several instances; the socio-economic effect of the implementa¬tion of Islamic banking; and its role on the (economic) development. In addition the paper also prescribes the direction and the policy required for developing Islamic bank.Keywords: Islamic banking, Profit and Loss Sharing, community welfare

Abstract

This study examines the presence of financial constraints and explores the role of profit-loss sharing (PLS) in mitigating the problem of the financial constraints stemmed from the capital market imperfections. Using Malaysian listed companies’ data, this study finds that the financial constraints are present in the capital market. This finding implies the imperfect capital market. In Islamic PLS framework, there are two options of financing contracts that may be enforced in the capital market as financing mechanisms, i.e. al-musharakah and al-mudharabah. These schemes promote sharing of information and mutual trust between financiers and ‘borrowers’. In these contracts, there are strict terms and conditions to be adhered to by both parties so that the contracts pursue to be valid. Besides, PLS mechanism may reduce the cost of capital since the profit and loss are shared rather than be burdened only on one shoulder. In this regard, the imperfect market problems namely asymmetric information, agency problem and transaction cost can be reduced if not be overcome.
