Study Notes
Sukuk Structures
- Sukuk can be based on sale transactions (murabahah, salam, or istisna`), lease transactions (ijarah), or equity and agency relationships (musharakah, mudharabah, and wakalah).
- Sale and lease transactions have fixed income characteristics, while equity and agency structures are uncertain.
- Many sukuk transactions combine different forms of transactions to create a fixed income sukuk similar to traditional bonds.
Common Sukuk Structures
- Murabahah: Sukuk-holders sell assets to the obligor on a deferred basis, with a return on profit from the sale of the asset.
- Salam: Sukuk-holders buy a fungible asset on a forward basis and sell it to a third party, with a return on profit from the sale of the asset.
- Istisna`: Sukuk-holders construct or manufacture an asset and sell it to the obligor, with a return on profit from the sale of the asset.
- Ijarah: Sukuk-holders lease an asset to the obligor, with a return on rental income.
- Musharakah: Sukuk-holders and the obligor are partners in a venture, with a return on income generated from the asset or venture.
- Mudharabah: Sukuk-holders provide capital to the obligor in a business venture, with a return on income generated from the asset or venture.
Sukuk Overview
- Sukuk are Islamic investment certificates or participation certificates, representing obligations of the issuer to the sukuk holders.
- Sukuk are an alternative to traditional bonds, which violate the Islamic rule of earning money from riba.
- In Malaysia, the Securities Commission (SC) regulates the issuance of sukuk via the Guidelines on the Offering of Islamic Securities 2004, while the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) regulates the Shariah component.
Regulatory Bodies
- The SC was given a mandate by the Executive Committee of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) to lead the Islamic Capital Market Task Force (ICMTF).
