Follow on Google News | Islamic Finance Methodology for The Western EconomyIn the current financial climate, banks and financial institutions find themselves on the same page as many small businesses. Looking for a solution, many have started to see this as an opportunity to look outside the box.
Recently, a Vatican newspaper mentioned that Islamic banking methodology may be the way to overcome the financial crisis that has spread across the world. Several sources have cited that replacing the importance of interest rates with something along the lines of profit share could bring a more stabilized investment in the long term. With the current finance system in many western markets less attractive these days, many investors are starting to look elsewhere. Angel investors, independent (and usually individual) investors who want to find good returns – are often the first types of investors to try other methods. To help bridge the gap between the western and Middle Eastern markets (and methodologies) The advantage angel investment has is that in many ways it is similar to Mudarabah and Musharakah partnerships. Mudarabah is a partnership where an investor (known as “rabb-ul-mal”) In all mudarabah partnerships, both parties must always agree to the terms of all profit sharing before any deal is commenced (and so this eliminates the risk of interest rate fluctuation) Entrepreneurs in the Middle East and in fact worldwide can benefit from this system, as it is ideal for individuals who may have innovative ideas but does not have the capital to get started. With more capital coming from Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE, adoption of these methods has been steady over the past few years.
