Traditionally, Islamic banks have relied heavily on Murabaha/Tawarruq based products to avoid risks associated with other instruments like Mudarabah/Musharakah and Wakalah. This lecture is aimed at laying-out an innovative solution for Islamic banks allowing them to offer short-term business finance, such as working capital financing and business overdrafts. The solution is based on Mudarabah and comes with a comprehensive toolkit of controls to manage the risks associated with Mudarabah; thereby enabling Islamic banks to offer simple and competitive products for business clients.
