out specific conducts of Islamic finance companies;

The Accounting and Auditing Organization
for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI)
are not effectively applied by the Islamic
Financial Services Institutions (IFSIs) in the
UAE, neither do the guidelines of the
Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB)

The Central Bank has recently stopped issuing licenses to existing conventional banks to offer Islamic windows.
Unlike Islamic banks who can offer all Islamic financial instruments to customers, existing Islamic windows are not allowed to offer more than five Islamic products

As to regulations, the main
difference between Islamic and
conventional services is in terms
of the governance requirement

The Banking Law stated that a Higher
Shari’a Authority (HSA) is to be formed by
a cabinet decision to set standards
across the financial services industry
The HSA was only activated and approved
by the Ministers’ Council in May 2016

Key Issue ….
What is the value added of Islamic
banking/finance to the financial sector and,
thereby the national economy?
![Page 25: Islamic Banking in the UAE · overview of financial services ... derivatives in the 1990s, The rapid growth of Islamic finance warrants similar updates ... Islamic Finance Company](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052009/601e985ac39b9d179a3dd756/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Statistical centers in the UAE do
not have the necessary input to
measure value added of Islamic
banking transactions
![Page 26: Islamic Banking in the UAE · overview of financial services ... derivatives in the 1990s, The rapid growth of Islamic finance warrants similar updates ... Islamic Finance Company](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052009/601e985ac39b9d179a3dd756/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Way forward ..
✓Strengthen regulations and legislations governing the operations of Islamic finance;
✓Official unified obligatory financial accounting standards.

Way forward ..
Compiling of statistical data on IFSIs
need to be strengthened in order to avert
any imprecision when measuring the
worth of the industry across sectors
![Page 28: Islamic Banking in the UAE · overview of financial services ... derivatives in the 1990s, The rapid growth of Islamic finance warrants similar updates ...

Way forward ..
it is essential that the UAE central bank
compile and require Islamic banks to report on
the prudential Islamic financial indicators
(PIFIs) and structural Islamic financial
indicators (SIFIs) introduced by the IFSB in
2007
