There are several types of sukuk discussed in the document. Istisna'a sukuk involve project financing where funds are advanced for supplies/labor and repaid from project revenues. Salam sukuk involve the purchase of commodities on a deferred delivery basis, with full payment up front. Ijarah sukuk involve the purchase of tangible assets by an SPV from an originator which are then leased back, with rental payments funding returns to sukuk holders. Mudharabah and musharakah sukuk also exist but are not described in detail. Each structure aims to comply with Shariah principles while providing financing.

The concept of musharakah and mudarabah envisaged in the books of Islamic Fiqh generally presumes that these contracts are meant for initiating a joint venture whereby all the partners participate in the business right from it’s inception and continue to be partners upto the end of the business when all the assets are liquidated . One can hardly find in the traditional books of Islamic Fiqh the concept of a running business where partners join and leave the enterprise without affecting in any way the continuity of the business. Obviously, the classical books of Islamic Fiqh were written in an environment where the large scale commercial enterprises were not in vogue and the commercial activities were not so complex as they are today. Therefore, they did not generally dwell upon the question of such a running business.
Types of Sukuk (Islamic Bond)
Sukuk are among the most recent products that are created using structural application in the Islamic financial markets. In order to design flexible securities that could respond to different financing needs of economic agencies in the capital market on one hand and to comply with Islamic principles and standards on the other hand, Muslim scholars started thinking about designing Islamic financial instruments. To this aim, expansive studies were conducted into Shariah-compliant contracts and their ability to be used as instruments so that to design financial instruments that would be able to replace bonds and preferred stocks, which are mainly based on Riba and loans with interests. Eventually, Sukuk was designed as an alternative investment instrument for securities with fixed returns such as bonds that are Hiram in the holy Shariah of Islam. After the successful implantation of the Riba-free banking, Muslim scholars managed to design different financial instruments based on Sharia rules and the actual needs of the Islamic countries. These instruments could be divided into three categories:

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

3. Istisnaá Sukuk
◦ Project financing can be undertaken through an Istisna’a
contract, whereby funds are advanced to pay for the supplies
and labor costs by an Islamic bank.
◦ Once the project is completed, the advances are repaid from
the revenue derived from the project.
◦ Originally, istisna’a was seen as an appropriate way of financing
manufacturing as goods have to be produced and costs
incurred before they are sold.
4. Istisnaá Sukuk
◦ To introduce bonds based on istisna’a, a parallel istisna’a
contract is generally used where by the financier enters a
contract with a subcontractor who actually builds the facility
being financed.
◦ To use istisna’a, the public authority or private company
commissioning the project provides details of the specifications
and timing of the schemes.
◦ The financier then sets these out in the tender documents.
◦ Bids are subsequently invited from contractors who will specify
how they intend to sell completed parts of the project over time
and the amount of each payment instalment expected.
5. Istisnaá Sukuk
◦ These instalments will include an element of profit over the
construction costs.
◦ As the financier is expecting a stream of payments over a
specified period, certificates can be issued based on the income
expected.
◦ It should be noted that as the deferred price certificates
represent debt obligations, they cannot be traded for cash at
below face value in a secondary market.
◦ They can, however, be used to purchase goods or services
whose price is equal to the face value of the certificate.
6. Istisnaá Sukuk
◦ The purchase price of the goods may be less than the deferred
price as this represents a trading transaction.
◦ Permission to transfer the debt contract from the financier to a
supplier of goods and services must be sought from the original
debtor, the public authority, or private company commissioning
the project.
7. Sukuk al Salam
◦ The salam based contract is usually used for short-term financing of
underlying assets, and is based on spot sale (salam) and/or deferred
payment sale (bai al muajjal) or deferred delivery sale (bai al salam)
where the investor undertakes to deliver a specific asset, which will be
sold to the client at an agreed profit margin.
◦ For example, a special vehicle is set up to buy petroleum on a spot
price basis and the purchase price is entirely paid up front from the
proceeds of the issue sukuk certificates.
◦ The SPV will then sell the oil at a later date to the beneficiary of the oil
on a certain designated delivery date.
8. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ Since salam sukuk results in a purely financial claim that is not
linked to the underlying asset, the Shari’ah only allows such
securities to be traded at par value.
◦ This affects its trading in the secondary market and investors are
forced to hold this security until maturity.
◦ This contract resembles the conventional forward contract
(which is not permissible in Shari’ah) except that in case of salam
contract, payment is made in advance and in the case of the
latter payment it is usually settled at the delivery date.
9. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ The salam contract was allowed as a special case during the
Prophet’s time to avoid farmers and traders being forced to take
usurious loans.
10. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ The concept of salam refers to a sale whereby the seller
undertakes to supply a specific commodity to the buyer at a
future date in return for an advanced price, paid in full on the
spot.
◦ Hence, the price is cash, but the supply of the purchased goods
is deferred.
11. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ Muslim farmers used salam to receive cash advances in order to
meet immediate commitments until their crops were grown as
they were not able to borrow on the basis of riba.
◦ The attraction for the buyer of a salam contract is that the
advance payment is usually less than the amount that would
have to be paid if the buyer deferred his purchase and bought
the same commodity spot in one or three months’ time.
12. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ Salam represents a type of forward contract, but such a
contract is forbidden under Shari’ah law unless there are strict
conditions attached that aim at the elimination of uncertainty
(gharar).
◦ Firstly, the initial payment by the buyer must be paid in full, to
ensure that there is no uncertainty over outstanding
payments.
13. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ Secondly, salam can only be used for commodities that are
standardized, and where the quality and quantity are measured
exactly.
◦
◦ Originally, such contracts were used for the purchase of grains
such as wheat, barley, and rice, but salam contracts could also
be used for commodities such as oil, iron, or copper, or electricity
supplies that can be measured in kilowatts.
14. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ How can certificates based on salam contracts be issued? The onus is
on the purchaser who can finance advance payments by issuing
certificates that are equivalent to the purchase price, which are then
sold.
◦ The buyers of the certificates are entitled to the commodities for which
the original purchaser contracted at the end of the one or three
months, or whatever period was stipulated in the contract.
◦ For them the attraction is that they are purchasing the commodities at
a discount, the difference between this and the eventual selling price
of the commodities representing their return.
15. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ There has been some debate amongst Shari’ah scholars about
whether it is legitimate to exchange the rights to commodities sold on a
salam basis prior to delivery, or, in other words, to trade salam
certificates.
◦ Ibn Taymiyyah ruled that such exchanges are permissible as long as
when the certificates were sold to the seller it was not for a price higher
than that agreed originally, as this might be seen as exploitation. Sales
to third parties could be at any price that such buyers are willing to
pay.
◦ The Maliki School of Islamic jurisprudence stipulated that salam
contracts relating to foodstuffs should not be traded, as this could be
interpreted as speculating on necessities.
16. Sukuk al-Salam
◦ Sami Homoud states that it is not permissible to resell the
commodity covered by a salam contract before receiving it, but
this does not preclude the recipient from reselling the commodity
by another contract parallel to the first one.
◦ The aim of such a parallel or back-to-back salam contract is to
ensure that the financier, usually a bank, is not left with a
commodity that it has no expertise in trading.
◦ However, creating salam certificates could also be viewed as a
way out of this dilemma for a bank.
17. Sukuk al Ijarah
◦ Sukuk based on sale and lease back are questionable.
◦ As an alternative, it is possible to lease productive assets or
equipments for a portion of revenues or diminishing musharakah.
18. Sukuk al Ijarah
◦ The sukuk are based on the underlying tangible assets that the
SPV has acquired rather than being debt securities, which is the
case with the issuance of conventional bonds.
◦ Instead, the sukuk al-ijarah structure uses the leasing contract as
the basis for the returns paid to investors, who are the beneficial
owners of the underlying asset and as such benefit from the lease
rentals as well as sharing in the risk.
19. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ The structure commences with a party who is in need of
financing, here referred to as the originator.
◦ The originator will establish an SPV, a separate legal entity with
the sole purpose of facilitating this transaction.
◦ Next, the SPV purchases certain tangible assets from the
originator at an agreed pre-determined purchase price, which
will be equal to the principal amount of the sukuk.
20. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ In order to finance the purchase of the assets, the SPV issues
sukuk to sukuk holders.
◦ These sukuk holders are investors looking for Shari’ah compliant
securities.
◦ The SPV uses the sukuk proceeds to pay the originator the
purchase price of the tangible assets.
◦ The SPV will also declare a trust over the tangible assets and hold
the assets as a trustee for the sukuk holders, who are the
beneficiaries.
21. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ Next, the originator and the SPV will enter into a lease agreement
for a fixed period of time. Under this lease agreement, the SPV
(lessor) leases the assets back to the originator (lessee).
◦ Consequently, the SPV receives periodic rentals from the
originator for the use of the underlying tangible assets.
22. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ The SPV uses these amounts to pay the periodic return to the
sukuk holders, since they are entitled to these payments as the
beneficial owners of the tangible assets.
◦ The lease payments from the originator to the SPV and the
periodic payments from the SPV to the sukuk holders will continue
until maturity date.
23. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ The SPV uses these amounts to pay the periodic return to the
sukuk holders, since they are entitled to these payments as the
beneficial owners of the tangible assets.
◦ The lease payments from the originator to the SPV and the
periodic payments from the SPV to the sukuk holders will continue
until maturity date.
24. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ Although in a sukuk al ijarah structure, the sukuk holders must
acquire the ownership rights over the tangible assets from a
Shari’ah perspective, from a practical perspective, this is often
not possible due to legal impediments in most jurisdictions such as
the impossibility to register under the sukuk al ijarah structure that
the SPV holds the tangible assets in trust for the sukuk holders.
◦ This means that the legal ownership of the tangible assets will
remain with the SPV and the sukuk holders merely acquire the
beneficial ownership of the underlying tangible assets.
25. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ In practice, difficulties arise in meeting the ownership
requirements of the sukuk holders.
◦ Additional transfer taxes and restrictions on the disposal of
governmental assets made it almost impossible for several
originators even to transfer the title of the assets to the SPV.
◦ As a result, in practice the legal ownership of the assets is not
even transferred to the SPV.
◦ The sukuk holders are, consequently, one step further from the
underlying tangible assets.
26. Sukuk al-Ijarah
◦ The combination of the absence of transfer of legal ownership of
the assets from the originator to the SPV with purchase
undertakings and other forms of guarantees given by the
originator to the SPV and, consequently, the sukuk holders
recourse to the originator instead of recourse to the underlying
tangible assets represents a move from the asset-backed to
asset-based sukuk.
27. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ Sukuk al Mudarabah is structured through the mudarabah
contract, with one party looking for Shari’ah compliant financing,
the originator.
◦ The originator will establish the SPV and enter into a mudarabah
contract with this SPV.
◦ Both the originator and the SPV will be partners to the
Mudarabah contract.
◦ The originator will act as the managing partner, the entrepreneur
of the mudarabah venture.
28. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ As the mudarib, the managing partner will contribute his labor,
skills, and expertise.
◦ The SPV will act as the silent partner, the rabbul mal of the
mudarabah venture.
◦ As the rabbulmal, the SPV contributes in the form of financial
investment.
29. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ The SPV will issue sukuk certificates to the sukuk holders.
◦ The sukuk proceeds will be used to make the financial investment
in the mudarabah.
◦ The SPV will declare a trust over all the units it is holding in the
mudarabah in favor of the sukuk holders according to an agreed
percentage of the realized revenues.
30. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ The participation in the mudarabah will continue until maturity
date.
◦ At maturity date, the managing partner will buy the units in the
mudarabah from the sukuk holders through the SPV.
◦ The managing partner will pay an amount to the SPV to purchase
the units in the mudarabah.
◦ That amount is used by the SPV to pay the sukuk holders their
capital back, so that the sukuk certificates can be redeemed.
31. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ This structure is an equity-based sukuk structure where profits and
losses are shared between the partners.
◦ Therefore, the periodic payments to the sukuk holders cannot be
fixed returns; neither can their principal amount be guaranteed
at maturity.
◦ However, in practice several instruments were used to fix the
periodic returns over the sukuk and to guarantee the principal
amount of the sukuk holders.
32. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ The periodic returns were often fixed returns; when the actual
profits realized were less than the promised returns, the originator
provided for funding, while in the case of excess profits any
surplus was for the originator as an incentive fee.
◦ This limited the equity character of these securities, since the
losses were borne by the originator and the periodic returns to
the sukuk holders were fixed, regardless of the performance of
the underlying projects.
33. Sukuk al-Mudarabah
◦ At maturity, pursuant to a purchase undertaking, the assets were
bought back by the originator for a price equal to the principal
amount of the sukuk holders.
◦ The purchase undertaking guaranteed the principal amount of
the sukuk holders, regardless of the possible appreciation or
depreciation of the assets.
◦ These structural features practically turned the equity-based
profit-and-loss sharing arrangements into fixed-income
instruments.
◦ This can be considered another deviation from Shari’ah.
34. Sukuk al-Musharakah
◦ Musharakah involves establishing a partnership or company to
provide financing with the participants sharing in the profits in
relationship to the size of their investment share.
◦ Notes can be issued on the basis of such financing and both
Sudan and Iran have launched such securities.
◦ In practice, these have been very similar to mudarabah
certificates rather than being a distinct asset class.
35. Sukuk al Murabahah
◦ Any paper representing a monetary obligation arising out of a
credit sale transaction by banks cannot create a negotiable
instrument.
◦ Murabahah receivables cannot fetch any return and their
assignment has to be at face value.
◦ Murabahah sukuk are more likely to be used in respect of
purchases of goods by the public sector.
◦ In case the government needs items of huge price, it may
purchase them through credit sale by paying in installments.
36. Sukuk al Murabahah
◦ The government will issue certificates according to the number of
installments.
◦ Each certificate having maturity date would represent property
right of the seller that can change hands provided amount of the
claim does not change.
◦ The seller or the original certificate holder can transfer his
collection rights to another party against payment that would be
equal to the face value of the certificate minus collection cost at
the transferee’s end.
37. Sukuk al Murabahah
◦ Any murabahah funds can also issue murabahah sukuk proceeds
of which could be used for sale of pre-specified and general
assets on the basis of murabahah to give quasi fixed return to the
murabahah sukuk holders.
