  4. Excess of Wet or Dry LiquiditySurplus Drag oncompetitiveness Liquidity Shortage Assassin of banks

  5. Islamic Banks are likely to be more stable • They have profit sharing on both the liability side and asset side

  6. In practice, Islamic Banks have fixed income assets but have profit sharing on liability side. • The IBs therefore, are still more stable than conventional banks. • Solvent • Asset tied finance

  7. While majority of Islamic banks experience excess liquidity • Some have also faced liquidity crisis • Many different risks culminate in liquidity risk

  8. Liquidity crunch can be a real problem • Example of Financial Crisis in Turkey 2000-2001 • Islamic financial institutions there faced sever liquidity problems • One Islamic institution Ihlas Finans was closed during the crisis

  9. LIQUIDITY RISK: Definition • Risk of Funding [at appropriate maturities and rates] • Risk of Liquidating Assets [in time at reasonable prices]

  10. Investment Firm’s Definition • “liquidity risk includes both the risk of being unable to fund [its] portfolio of assets at appropriate maturities and rates and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner at reasonable prices.” * * J.P. Morgan Chase (2000).

  11. Regulators Definition • “risk to a bank’s earnings and capital arising from its inability to timely meet obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses.”* * Office of the Comptroller (2000)

  12. LIQUIDITY RISK: Sources • Incorrect judgment and complacency • Unanticipated change in cost of capital • Abnormal behavior of financial markets • Range of assumptions used • Risk activation by secondary sources • Break down of payments system • Macroeconomic imbalances • Contractual forms • Financial Infrastructure deficiency

  13. Liquidity Risk & Contractual Forms • Profit Sharing Contracts • Murabaha • Salam • Istisna • Ijarah

  14. Resale not permitted • Resale permitted but non-existent market • Market exists but not active

  16. Analysis and Diagnosis

  17. Liquidity Surplus Problem • Excess Liquidity is the current norm with Islamic banks • Where to park for short-term? • Use of most Islamic modes requires longer tenor investment, murabaha leads to illiquidity (liquidity risk). This induces banks to hold more liquidity, but this is costly. This leads to very short-term murabaha low earnings. • Excess liquidity  Use of commodity murabaha • Absence of LoLR facility is also a reason

  18. Examples of Problems with Commodity Murabaha

  19. High Proportion of Short-Term Int’l Murabaha in Total Murabaha,Bank-A (2002) 26.3 %

  20. High Proportion of Short-Term Int’l Murabaha inTotal Murabaha (Bank-B) 2002 2004 43.7% 50.4%

  22. Approaches to Liquidity Management • Asset Side Liquidity Management • Liabilities Side Liquidity Management • Two Sided Approach • Islamic Banks are mostly using Asset Approach to liquidity management • Large size banks use two sided approach • Approach varies b/w retail and investment banks

Liquidity Management: Current Practices of IBs • To cope with Excess Liquidity • Commodity Murabaha • Sukuk Ijarah and Salam • Stock Markets • To manage Liquidity Shortage • Reverse Commodity Murabaha • Mixing of deposits • Various types of reserves for confidence building Problems and Issues of these practices

  24. New Ideas: Going Forward • Mutual funds • Mutual fund of sukuk (LMC) • IBs’ local club for mutual cooperation • Development of secondary market in sukuk (issues involved: increasing the float, shorter term) • Sequence of Funds instead of Demand Deposits • IFSB Guidelines for risk management
