Why SME’s?

 Policymakers and bankers worldwide are increasingly

focusing on micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises.

 (IDB) is making important efforts to nurture the micro-

enterprise and SME sector and its export activities. Three important subsidiaries serving the sector: the

 International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC),

Islamic Corporation

 for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD) and the

Islamic Corporation

 for Insurance of Investments and Export Credit (ICIEC).

Each of the IDB

 The brief survey of possible funding gaps affecting

smaller enterprises suggested that SMEs in the developed world could generally expect to receive funding if they have a commercially viable

  • proposition. The banks are the principal source of

funding and a lack of collateral might result in credit rationing in some cases. ييلبسلئا ميىًتنا لود يتأي اُه

Islamic Banking for SME ةريغصلا تاكرشلا يف ةيملبسلئا ةفريصلا

Wide range of Islamic financial instruments, each with a specific purpose:

 ensure that the instrument used is suitable for the

economic purpose that a company seeks to achieve. There are two main categories of transaction types: ❑ Profit- and loss-sharing partnership equity investments; and ❑ Transactions with a predictable or fixed return structure.

SME’s in Morocco

 SMEs is a natural niche for Islamic banking as it deals directly

with the real economy, creates employment, involves the productive use of resources, especially capital and finance, and contributes to the alleviation of poverty.

 Ethical and moral values.  Islamic banking also advocates entrepreneurship and risk

  • sharing. In the profit-sharing concept of a financed project,

the financier and the beneficiary share the actual or net profit/loss, rather than leaving the risk burden to the entrepreneur.

 The principle of fairness and justice requires that the actual

  • utput of such a project be fairly distributed between the two

parties.

 For micro-enterprises and SMEs looking for financing, Islamic

banking can help promote entrepreneurial development

What are Sukuk

 AAOIFI: “Investment Sukuk are certificates of equal

value representing undivided shares in

  • wnership of tangible assets, usufruct and

services or (in the ownership of) the assets of particular projects or special investment activity, however, this is true after the receipt of the value of Sukuk, the closing of subscription and the employment of funds received for the purpose of which the Sukuk were issued” (standard

  • no. 17, clause 2)

 Further reading: AAOIFI Sharia Standard No. 17

Sukuk return/pricing and payment

 Fixed Return Vs. Variable return: Choosing the

right underlying structure;

 Mapping cash flows to the transaction, Sukuk

is not an interest paying instruments, therefore a clear link must be established between the return and the underlying transaction;

 Documentation perspective –  Commercial consideration – matching

requirement with limitations

 Assessing the role of security / Collaterals

Asset Backed vs. Asset Based Sukuk

 Asset Backed Sukuk (ABS) =

Securitization + Certificates Backed by Assets + SPV (independent) (So the recourse to the Assets due to True Sale)

 Asset Based Sukuk (AbS) =

Securitization + Certificates Backed by Collaterals+ SPV (credit interlinked) (So the recourse to the Originator)

Islamic Securitization vs. Sukuk: Differences & Similarities

 Sukuk is in essence securitization of the underlying

transaction;

 However there exists a very important difference

between a simple Islamic Securitization and Sukuk;

 Recourse to the Asset:

 In securitization the recourse of the investors is only to the

asset securitized

 Whereas in a Sukuk the recourse for the investors is both to the

Obligor and the underlying assets/receivables
