1st Tunisia International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance 2019 | IslamicMarkets.com | 12 April 2019 | Hammamet, Tunisia

IFIs are facing risk management challenges, despite their rapid growth, which has implications on their financial stability. A sound risk management process may contribute to reduce IFIs exposure to risks and enhance their ability to be competitive. The competitive advantage mainly depends on how IFIs identify, quantify and monitor their specific and more complex nature of risks. Furthermore, limited progress is observed in the industry regarding the design of Shariah compliant safety net frameworks and products for risk management purposes which additionally raises financial stability concerns. The general perception in the market is that current Islamic hedging financial products are mere imitations of their conventional counterparts and have failed to bring the socio-economic impact expected from implementing the rules of Shariah in the financial industry. Therefore, there is a real need to create a new generation of Islamic financial products that contribute positively to mitigate risks with achieving Maqasid Al’ Shariah.
