Islamic finance in Europe (4)

Continuation
SUMMARY
In the paper first section illustrates the main principles underpinning Islamic finance.
These can be summarized as follows.
The first principle dictates that paying interest is prohibited.
As a result, Islamic banks have to use contracts that:
§  create exposure to the real sector;
§  and must therefore ensure efficient risk management.
The second principle involves:
§  the profit;
§  and loss-sharing
concept.
Parties to a financial transaction must share both the risks and the rewards that may be attached to it.
In this way, excessive losses and profits are minimized.
From the research paper of European Central Bank
