  10. SUBSIDY How can you subsidize • Usually governments subsidize “The INTERESTS” paid by SME’s. Although linguistic, the law does not cater for “PROFIT” subsidies. • Lebanon case: We have a law subsidizing “interests” to some supported sectors: Agriculture, industrial, IT and software development, Touristic projects, environmental friendly projects. BUT, ISLAMIC BANKS CLIENTS CANNOT ACCESS IT. • Subsidies come from various sources: EC, IFC, NGO’s, Government (s), Central Bank, etc… • The challenge is how can you create an Islamic financial engineered structure to include the subsidy within the offered facility to your client OMAN 2nd Islamic Banking & Financial Conf.

  11. SUBSIDY How can you subsidize • One easy way is to establish a HIBA system. Some fiscal laws are not very friendly with the idea. • If the subsidy offers the capital at low cost, establish a special purpose vehicle to isolate and package the facility from SPV to client through financial entities. RED TAPE? Maybe, it depends on jurisdictions. • If subsidy is to the interest on the capital advanced by the banks to SME, then very difficult to channel the subsidy to islamic facilities, unless expressed in its charter as paying part or all of the profit: QardHasan from bank + profit as Hiba ; or facility at low profit margin and supplemented by subsidy OMAN 2nd Islamic Banking & Financial Conf.

  12. SUBSIDY How can you subsidize • If subsidy is from CB, then CB sells commodity to IB at a low murabaha rate, so the IB liquidates commodity spot and pass it through to SME via an Islamic financial instrument: Lebanon. Requires strict monitoring to IB from BCC to make sure the principal is channeled to SME’s. • The market requires intelligent set ups to make sure the SME’s are supported properly.
