1 Risk Management in Islamic Financial Institutions Associate Prof Rifki Ismal Sesric Training Program National Bank of Tajikistan Tajikistan, 11-12 July 2012 2 DAY TWO Session 1: Risk Management in Islamic Banking Contracts RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUSHARAKAH • Musharakah is a partnership (joint venture) contract where two parties (Islamic bank and business partner) combine their capital in an investment to share profit and loss whereby they have similar right and liabilities. • There are permanent and diminishing Musharakah. Loss - 4 Profit - 3 Islamic Projects Depositors 1 Islamic Bank 2 Entrepreneur RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUSHARAKAH • Credit, Operational, Market and Liquidity risk exposes both permanent and diminishing Musharakah. • Permanent Musharakah faces operational risk in determination of profit and loss sharing. Profit is shared related/unrelated to capital contribution while loss sharing is precisely based on capital contribution. • When business fails to produce income, it bears credit risk. This might interrupt payment of PLS to depositors and invite liquidity risk. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUSHARAKAH • Finally if the business can not be continued, value of final capital faces market risk. • Diminishing Musharakah exposes operational risk when business partner fails to buy share of diminishing capital. • Since expected income can’t be fulfilled, credit risk appears. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUSHARAKAH • When it disturbs payment of PLS to depositors, liquidity risk comes into the bank. • At the end of diminishing Musharakah, when value of total equity investment is different with market value, banks bears market risk. • To handle both operational risk and credit risk, bank must take part in company’s management, do monitoring and insure the business. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUSHARAKAH • Bank may have right to sale its share to third party in diminishing Musharakah contract to avoid credit risk. • Stop the loss of a business is one of the solutions to mitigate market risk. • Gradually selling bank’s share to business partner is also another solution for credit and market risk. Finally, reserving capital might hinder bank from liquidity risk. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUDARABAH • Mudarabah is a partnership where one party provide capital and another party provide skill. Any profit will shared but loss will be borne by owner of capital only. 1 Depositors PLS 2 Islamic Bank Profit PLS Entrepreneur 4 3 Islamic Project Loss 5 RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUDARABAH • External events like catastrophic and internal business failure might invite operational risk ending with business losses which should be covered by the bank. • Following it, liquidity of the bank is disturbed (failure to provide cash to depositors) which is liquidity risk. • Specifically, if mudarib is not capable (skillful) enough to run the business, it can cause credit risk to the bank and because value of the project dropped in the market equity price risk appears. • Because management of the project can’t be controlled by bank, transparency risk exists. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MUDARABAH • To mitigate, bank should be sure the eligibility and capability of the mudarib (business partner). • Monitoring business performance and balance sheet of company might lessen credit risk. • Accurately measuring, predicting and anticipating market risk are some ideas to tackle market risk issue in this case. • Providing capital adequacy and internal reserve are also tools to prevent liquidity risk in Mudarabah contract. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MURABAHAH • Mudarabah stands for a sale of good on a mutually agreed profit and deferred payment. The seller was obliged to declare his cost and the profit to the buyer (transparency) . 1b Bank's Client 3 4 1a Islamic Bank 2 Vendor (Owner of the Asset) RISK MANAGEMENT IN MURABAHAH • Client promises to buy asset under wa’ad contract (unbinding) so it might lead to operational risk or asset risk if he/she declines to buy. • Before asset being sold to client, bank is responsible for any risk of the asset such as market risk, risk of loss, damage, etc. • If mark up price is not accurately determined, it may cause mark up risk. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MURABAHAH • At the end or during payment period of Murabahah, the bank faces commodity price risk and market risk. • When client (buyer) fails to pay the installment, credit risk comes and if he/she is default, price and market risk bear the bank when the asset is sold to market. • Further, such difficult situation will end up with credit liquidity risk, withdrawal risk and bank rush. RISK MANAGEMENT IN MURABAHAH • Bank may require client to put collateral to minimize operational risk, credit risk and moral hazard risk. • Complete documents should follow this complicate contract such as guarantee, collateral, value of the asset, installment period, etc. • Total payment of Murabahah uses formula of : n R ri pi i 1 • Hence, total repayment should be greater that the above formula or : n R ri pi i 1 RISK MANAGEMENT IN SALAM • In Salam, a bank buys a specific good from a producer to be delivered in the future (known) date. The bank later on sales that good to an agreed buyer for profit. 1b Bank's Client (Producer) 1a 2 Islamic Bank 3 Good's Market RISK MANAGEMENT IN SALAM • External events may cause the seller fail to deliver the good in an agreed date. Operational risk occurs. • Mismatching between specification of the good requested and the one being made may lead to delay of the finished good. This brings business risk and reputation risk. • Even though salam price is fixed but the final price of the good still has mark up risk and market risk because of fluctuation in price of commodity. • In the selling time, if buyer delay/fail to buy the salam good from bank, credit risk and liquidity risk hamper the bank. RISK MANAGEMENT IN SALAM • To avoid operational risk, bank may ask the seller to follow standard procedure in making the good and insures the salam object. • Choosing the respected, well-performed, skillful seller can also be adopted by bank. • Using quantitative and qualitative approaches to predict probability of seller’s default to deliver the good in agreed time. • Predicting future market price can minimize mark up risk, price risk and market risk. Technically Value at risk can be employed for such purpose. • To minimize asset risk (damage risk, loss, etc), bank can (i) ask the seller to directly deliver the good to buyer or; (ii) ask the seller to find candidate buyer. RISK MANAGEMENT IN ISTISHNA • Istishna has the same mechanism with Salam except it applies mainly for manufacturing/industrial goods; no obligation to pay full cash in advance by bank and having specific quality/quantity to be fulfilled by seller. 1b Bank's Client (Producer) 1a 2 Islamic Bank 3 Good's Market RISK MANAGEMENT IN ISTISHNA • During the construction, it is possible to have disruption in supply of raw material, undesirable construction, wrong construction, etc. This is operational risk which may end up with credit risk. • In such case, when seller asks for a extra time, bank faces business risk, reputation risk and liquidity risk. • If seller finally can not make the ordered good, default risk, credit risk, liquidity risk are some potential risks to be borne. • When actual price of the ordered good fluctuates, it causes price and market risk when the bank receives the good and want to resell it to the buyer. RISK MANAGEMENT IN ISTISHNA • Carefully and precisely choose the contractor (seller) is one possible action to prevent operational risk, default risk, moral hazard risk, etc. • Insuring the manufactured good can also be taken into account. • During the construction process, coordination, intensive monitoring, effective communication, and cooperation are among activities which can minimize risk of product defect, failure, etc. • Reserving some capital (internal liquidity) for the sake of managing liquidity withdrawal from depositors is another policy to solve liquidity risk. • Join contract among Islamic banks to order a good under Istishna basis will also lessen risk of default, etc. RISK MANAGEMENT IN IJARAH • Ijarah is hiring or leasing physical asset. The bank owns the asset and leases it for a fee. There are operational ijarah and financing ijarah. 1b Bank's Client 3 4 1a Islamic Bank 2 Vendor (Owner of the Asset) RISK MANAGEMENT IN IJARAH • Any default of payment by the lessee may generate credit risk and operational risk. • There is also commodity price risk and market risk to the asset being rented. • Any damage/defect in the asset is under responsibility of the bank. It can invite moral hazard risk and personal risk. • Rate of return risk appears when determination of ijarah fee is not appropriately calculated. • In ijarah muntahia bitamlik/ ijarah tumma al baik/ijarah wa iqtina, the lessee and lessor bear market risk when settling the asset at the end of ijarah period. RISK MANAGEMENT IN IJARAH • Accurately measuring the value of the asset and rental rate. Since rental rate can be adjusted, bank has to determine it precisely. • Insuring the asset and monitoring the usage of the asset might be lowering moral hazard risk, credit risk, operational risk, etc. • Estimating future market price may allow Islamic bank to anticipate market risk. • Financing lease by mechanism prevents Islamic bank from asset risk (damage, loss, defect, etc) but it needs more effort compared to operational lease. 24 DAY TWO Session 1: Liquidity Risk in Islamic Banking Characteristics of IB Facing Liquidity Risk • Liquidity risk in IB is theoretically a reflection of the real economic condition. • The probability of liquidity risk is reduced internally throughout sharia principles and externally through Islamic financial market mechanism, spurred by regulators and connected with real sector under sharia compliance. Characteristics of IB Facing Liquidity Risk • Islamic bank ties its financing contract with real asset and this is typically another unique attribute of its operation. • As a result, they face commodity risk such as price risk, asset loose, amortization, etc that could all interrupt asset side and end up with asset liability imbalances. • Therefore, in Islamic banking, liquidity risk can happen as a result of attaching financing contract with real asset, which is not a typical conventional business transaction. IB Risk Related to Liquidity Risk Management • IB is expected to see its liquidity risk from holistic perspective (IFSB) due to current economic condition and interconnection among financial and business risk. • Financing risk in IB exposes direct loss to asset or liabilities followed by asset liability mismatch risk and liquidity run risk. • As Islamic bank replaces lending with investment and partnership terminology. Credit risk (part of financing risk) becomes another problem to be anticipated. IB Risk Related to Liquidity Risk Management • Market risk and commodity risk such as mark up risk, price risk, leased asset value risk, securities price risk and foreign exchange risk. • Business risk, which incorporates rate of return risk, displaced commercial risk, withdrawal risk and treasury risk. IB Risk Related to Liquidity Risk Management • Liquidity run risk is partly triggered by asset and liability imbalances; and another part from uncontrollable factors : (1) Macroeconomic imbalances; (2) Low trust on banks by investors leading to redemption and; (3) Abnormal financial market behavior. FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS RISK Financing Risk Market Risk Liquidity Risk Asset Liability Mismatch Risk Asset Side Sharia Compliance Risk Certainty Income Default Risk Commodity Risk Asset Value Volatility Uncertainty Income Business Life Cycle Moral Hazard Risk Non Economic Risk Credit Risk Business Risk Liquidity Run Risk Liability Side Sharia Compliance Risk Under Developed Product Risk Deposit Concentration Risk Depositor Dependence Risk Rational Depositor Risk Operational Risk Economic Crisis Lower Trust on Banks External Shock Huge & Sudden Demand of Liquidity Followed by Insolvency Risk Gov't Take Over Risk Reputation Risk Religious Consequences Over Capital Commitment Risk Inaccurate Financial Analysis Risk IB Risk Related to Liquidity Risk Management • Reputation risk arising from failure in governance, business strategy and process; government takes over risk; up into the risk of religious consequences . • Persistent asset liabilities mismatches should be traced seriously. On the liability side, it emerges in: – under developed banking products; – specific time deposit concentration; – reliance on big investors; – rational depositors consequences. IB Risk Related to Liquidity Risk Management • On the asset side, if there are disturbances in both certainty and uncertainty financing. • Certainty income, for example: – Murabahah financing is very sensitive to its long term deferred payment; – Ijarah has problems of assets being leased; – Bay Salam and Bay Istisna have problems of non-deliverable objects or drop of objects’ price risk. IB Risk Related to Liquidity Risk Management • Uncertainty income is determined by business risk such as changes in market, counter parties, product and economic/political environment. • Fortunately, sharia equips Islamic bank with the profit and loss sharing concept that potentially reduces a deep loss of liquidity risk when it occurs (Alsayed, 2007:1). 33 DAY TWO Session 1: Sharia Approaches on Liquidity Risk Management Challenges Related to Liquidity Risk Management • From liability side: the requirement to maintain adequate liquidity as a standby reserve. It contains two modes of reserves, namely cash reserve requirement in the central bank and statutory liquidity requirement in the bank itself • Another type of liquidity reserved for such purpose is placement in money market instrument essentially the very short-term basis. • Usually, the instruments take form of debt based such as Murabahah inter bank or equity based such as Musharakah and Mudarabah inter bank and ready to be liquidated whenever the bank needs. Challenges Related to Liquidity Risk Management • From asset side: Islamic bank tends to allocate fund in just short-term investment basis (Gafoor, 1995:8). Even, in the short investment period, Islamic bank prefers debt based Islamic financing to equity based. • The necessary challenge appears in the case of default by business partners because Islamic bank is prohibited from charging any accrued interest or imposing any penalty . • The other challenges are lack of easily liquidated long-term investment, immature financial market, etc. IFSB Guide on Liquidity Risk Management • IIFS shall have in place a liquidity management framework (including reporting) taking into account separately and on an overall basis their liquidity exposures in respect of each category of current accounts, unrestricted and restricted investment accounts (Principle 5.1). • IIFS shall assume liquidity risk commensurate with their ability to have sufficient recourse to sharia compliant funds to mitigate such risk (Principle 5.2). • Best practices in many IB identify involvement of investors, Islamic bank, business partners and their stakeholders in dealing with liquidity risk mitigation. Best Practices in ISLAMIC BANKS Investors Involvement in Liquidity Risk Management • Sharia ties investors of the bank to be responsible and aware of liquidity risk. Their engagements are ultimately in forms of their deep understanding of Islamic banking principles, operations and business consequences. • The most important one is their unwillingness to entail in the prohibited business activities such as: – speculation, – interest rate return seeking, etc • besides their willingness to share the risk and responsibility with the bank. Investors Involvement in Liquidity Risk Management • The mature investors will be ready to accept: – risk sharing, – no periodic return in certain types of the banks’ products, and – all other following consequences. • Meanwhile, for business partners, the understood investors will indirectly guarantee the availability of fund for business. IB Roles in Liquidity Risk Management • IB develops internal sharia approaches facing liquidity risk problem : – Liquidity risk management policy that includes policy related to liability and asset side. It is established by Board of Director and followed up by special task body and continued by senior management in a very technical level. – Measuring and monitoring liquidity risk. Islamic bank is obliged to maintain adequate liquidity as its standby reserve and regularly review its limit. – Prudential and sharia compliance banking operation that deals with the bank’s financing decisions, business partners’ selection, and possibility of join operation with other Islamic banks. IB Roles in Liquidity Risk Management – Sharia based liability management. IB follows three approaches: • Adjusting types of deposit products into projects to be financed; • Balancing of financing needed and amount to be collected and; • Managing maturity date of both deposit products and projects financing. IB Roles in Liquidity Risk Management – Sharia based asset management. IB approaches are, • Fitting characteristics of deposit and projects financing; • Matching the flow of projects’ return with the due date of PLS payment; • Selecting business partners through due diligence; • Employing joint financing with other Islamic banks to share the risk and; • Monitoring and conducting cooperative business 43 DAY TWO Session 2: Sharia Techniques to Mitigate Liquidity Risk Organizational Approaches & Liquid Instruments • Organizational approaches captures policies of: – – – – Regulating redemption time; Mitigating of default in equity; Mitigating of default in debt based financing, and; Determining parent company internal liquidity agreement. • Liquid Instruments as follows: SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY Internal Sources of Liquidity Placement through Islamic Financing - Mudarabah Redeemable CD Islamic Bankers Acceptance Private Asset Securitization Commodity Murabahah.
