Islamic finance in Europe (11)

Continuation
SUMMARY
Section 5 discusses the conduct of monetary policy operations in an Islamic banking context.
The operational framework of monetary policy is normally based on three different channels.
These channels are:
§  minimum reserve system;
§  open market operations;
§  and standing facilities.
Each of these channels deals with slightly different monetary policy objectives.
At the same time, this always centered on interest rates.
Therefore, there is a clear conflict between riba – the prohibition of interest payments and the normal conduct of monetary policy.
