7. So, what is the function of Islamic money market??
7

8. • The first and foremost important underlying philosophy of Islamic Capital and
Money market is to strengthen the institutional structure of Islamic banking
operations.
• The main function is to facilitate transfer of investable funds from those having
surplus units to those requiring funds to meet short and long term liquidity needs.
• IMM mainly concern with Interbank players, but there are also IMM products such
as Islamic Accepted Bills for importers and exporters to provide short term
working capital financing.
• Beside the main function of channelling surplus units to deficit units, Islamic
Money Market plays also the role of:
 Liquidity Management
 Facilitate secondary trading of Islamic MM instruments
 Channel for Central Bank to conduct their monetary policy

9. • Liquidity Management:
 Enables IFIs to fulfil daily funding and to invest in short term and highly liquid
instruments.
 Enables IFIs to maintain optimal liquidity condition by not being overly liquid or
less in order to meet investors’ and customers’ demands at any time.
 Helps to reduce liquidity pressures from different timings of cash inflows and
outflows (Facilitates IFIs to effectively manage their asset liability mismatch).
• Serve as a market for trading short term Islamic Instruments that are liquid while
offering acceptable return on the investments.
• IMM also provides Pricing Mechanism or platform of trading IMM instruments by
providing information to all participants.

10. • Tool for CB to conduct their Monetary Policy (indirectly) because the primary objective of BNM’s
monetary operations in the IMM is to ensure sufficient liquidity for the efficient functioning of the
IMM.
• The monetary policy target is only implemented in the conventional money market, where interest
rate based instruments are the primary funding instrument.
• BNM influences Islamic interbank market liquidity through an array of Shariah-compliant
instruments, the main instrument being the Qard (lending) and Commodity Murabahah Program.
• For longer-term liquidity management, the Bank issues Bank Negara Monetary Notes-i (BNMN-i)
which are structured based on Islamic concepts of Murabahah (BNMN-Murabahah), Ijarah (BNMN-
Ijarah), Bai Bithaman Ajil (BNMN-BBA) and Istithmar (BNMN-Istithmar) i.e. investment, combined
structure of Ijarah and Murabahah
• In short, an BNM’s short term Islamic operations:
 Provide short term financing to banks and other FIs
 Manage liquidity issues and indirectly adjust benchmark rates in MM
 Changes in liquidity and benchmark rates in MM will influence the liquidity and rates of return
in other markets.

25. Types of Instruments in Islamic Money Market
• Mudarabah Interbank Investment (MII)
• Wadiah acceptance
• Qard
• Commodity Murabahah Program
• Bank Negara Monetary Notes-i (BNMN-i)
• Islamic Accepted Bills (IAB)
• Islamic Negotiable Instruments (INI)
• These are among the more popular IMM instruments presently traded in
Malaysia
25

26. Mudharabah Interbank Investment (MII)
• MII refers to a mechanism whereby a deficit Islamic banking institution (investee
bank) can obtain investment from a surplus Islamic banking institution (investor bank)
based on Mudharabah (profit sharing).
• The period of investment is from overnight to 12 months, while the rate of return is
based on the rate of gross profit before distribution for investment of 1-year of the
investee bank.
• The profit sharing ratio is negotiable among both parties. The investor bank at the
time of negotiation would not know what the return would be, as the actual return will
be crystallised towards the end of the investment period.
• The principal invested shall be repaid at the end of the period, together with a share
of the profit arising from the used of the fund by the investee bank
26

27. Wadiah Acceptance
• Wadiah Acceptance, is a transaction between BNM and the Islamic banking
institutions.
• It refers to a mechanism whereby the Islamic banking institutions placed their surplus
fund with BNM based on the concept of Al- Wadiah.
• Under this concept, the acceptor of funds is viewed as the custodian for the funds
and there is no obligation on the part of the custodian to pay any return on the
account.
• However, if there is any dividend paid by the custodian, is perceived as 'hibah' (gift).
• The Wadiah Acceptance facilitates BNM's liquidity management operation as it gives
flexibility for BNM to declare dividend without having to invest the funds received.

30. Bank Negara Monetary Notes (BNMN-i)
• BNMN-i are Islamic securities issued by BNM replacing previous Bank Negara
Negotiable Notes (BNNN) for purposes of managing liquidity in the Islamic financial
market
• The maturity has also been lengthened from one year to three years.
• Issued either on a discounted (usually) or a coupon-bearing basis depending on
investors' demand.
• Discount-based BNMN-i will be traded using the same market convention as the
existing BNMN and Malaysian Islamic Treasury Bills (MITB) while the profit-based
BNMN-i will adopt the market convention of Government Investment Issues (GII).
• Highly attractive because: they are default risk free + highly liquid with a relatively
deep secondary market
• Central Bank use it to soak up or inject liquidity into an Islamic banking system or
conduct open market operations.
30

31. Islamic Accepted Bills (IAB)
• Objective: to encourage and promote both domestic and foreign trade, by providing
Malaysian traders with an attractive Islamic financing product.
• The IAB is formulated on the Islamic principles of Al-Murabahah (deferred lump-sum
sale or cost-plus) and Bai ad-Dayn (debt-trading).
• Al-Murabahah refers to the selling of merchandise at a price based on cost-plus profit
margin agreed to by both parties (importer/exporter with banks)
• Bai Al-Dayn refers to the sale of a debt arising from a trade transaction in the form of
a deferred payment sale.
31

32. Islamic Negotiable Instruments (INI)
i) Islamic Negotiable Instruments of Deposit (INID)
• The applicable concept is Al-Mudharabah. It refers to a sum of money deposited with
the Islamic banking institutions and repayable to the bearer on a specified future date
at the nominal value of INID plus declared dividend.
ii) Negotiable Islamic Debt Certificate (NIDC)
• The transaction involves the sale of banking institution's assets to the customer at an
agreed price on cash basis. Subsequently the assets is purchased back from the
customer at principal value plus profit and to be settled at an agreed future date.

35. Wadiah and Qard
35
• Hibah computation is based on the followings:-
• Principal (P) X Time (T) X Rate quoted *
Example:
Tier Range Rate (% p.a)
Tier 1 Up to RM 1,000 1.05 %
Tier 2 RM 1,001 to RM 5,000 1.85 %
Tier 3 RM 5,001 and above 2.54 %
Hence compute WSA with balance of RM 7,000 for whole of January 03 based on the
above hibah rates.
31/365 X 1.05% X 1,000 = RM 0.89
31/365 X 1.85% X 4,000 = RM 6.28
31/365 x 2.54% x 2,000 = RM 4.31
Total hibah = RM 11.48

36. Commodity Murabahah Program
36
Profit = Principal (P) X Rate (R)

37. Discounted Notes = BNMN-I and MITB
37
Discount = (Par Value – Purchase Price) X 365 x 100
Par Value T
3.22 = (100 – 96.893) X 365 x 100 Yield
96.893 364
3.116 = (100 – 96.893) X 365 x 100  Discount
100 364
