Islamic finance in Europe (151)


Continuation
Greater responsibility is vested in the management of a stand-alone IIFS.
That will have more accountability than Islamic window.
The Islamic window approach also allows financial institutions to foster strategic partnerships with other IIFSs, such as:
-      takaful (Islamic insurance) companies;
-      as well as other institutions offering:
o   Islamic bank assurance products;
o   and Shari’ah-compliant investment-linked products.
In fact, instrument diffusion via Islamic windows is a widely used approach in most jurisdictions trying to introduce Islamic finance.
It can also be a useful tool for financial institutions.
By this way, they may test market readiness before launching a fully-fledged Islamic entity.
