that assess the stability properties of Islamic financial instruments, and that explain some of the key Islamic concepts in economists’ terms It will be an invaluable source for those who want to know more about the nature of the financial instruments that go to make up an Islamic financial system, and to understand how an Islamic financial system might work in a twenty-first century context Everyone knows that a key concept of Islamic teaching is the avoidance of interest payments that are fixed in advance (Interestingly, this prohibition is not different from that of other faiths at certain stages of their development.) But much less well-known to non-Muslims are the social teachings that lie behind the prohibition, and the variety of concepts that are permissible in economic transactions among Muslims Islamic finance has its roots in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (himself a merchant) and is grounded in the social, moral and cultural precepts of the Qur’an Much has been written about the relationship of Islamic finance to Qur’anic teachings; but much less, until very recently, about how Islamic finance is related to traditional economic doctrines, and how Islamic ix x Foreword finance might perform in a turbulent and unstable time like the present This volume therefore fills an important gap The book begins with an overview of classical capital theory, pointing out its consistency with many of the concepts and limitations of Islamic finance, once interest (the return to capital) and profit (the return to entrepreneurship) are seen as a combined return to the provision of capital resources Pursuing this theme, the authors analyze capital theory from Adam Smith and David Ricardo through William Stanley Jevons, Karl Marx, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Knut Wicksell and others This sets the scene for developing the central thesis of the book, namely that Islamic finance is potentially a more stable means of financing capital accumulation than one that attempts to separate the functions of providing capital and bearing risk Since Islamic finance requires a much greater relative role for equity capital, it is, the authors contend, better protected against the instability that can come from excess leverage The authors seek to demonstrate how conventional finance can generate cyclical instability in credit creation which in turn leads to economic booms and busts They describe the process we would now call “procyclicality” in the financial system and relate it to the Minsky hypothesis of endogenous financial instability During a bubble, many assets become effectively monetized and add to demand, while in a bust, liquidity evaporates and credit shrivels Central banks, while trying to offset these tendencies, have often added to them Focusing on the management of interest rates to manage the real economy, the authors argue, has in practice fuelled speculative booms, and the ensuing busts have proved impossible to prevent Central to all this is the process of credit creation generated by ability of banks to create money substitutes through issuing interest-bearing liabilities An interesting chapter deals with the current financial crisis The book blames the internationalization of the crisis on excess money creation in reserve centers, and self regarding policies by individual countries Although not directly related to the theme of Islamic finance, the authors implicitly support the idea of a common reserve currency as the basis of a more stable international financial system Since Islamic finance avoids interest and interest-based assets, it is, the authors argue, inherently more stable than conventional finance, and need not inhibit the mobilization of savings and the efficient allocation of investment Islamic financial instruments are more directly linked to the productivity of the real investments they finance, and therefore not only promote the social objective of “sharing” risks and rewards, but cushion financial intermediation against the inherent risks of excess, both in booms and slumps Foreword xi Doubtless, defenders of conventional financial systems will say that better regulation and risk management can also protect financial stability, and that a wider range of permitted financial contracts can better achieve the completeness of markets It is not my purpose here to defend the specific claims made by the authors of the book Overall, however, it is a provocative and insightful assessment of the economic properties of Islamic finance that deserves to be read and reflected on by Islamic and non-Islamic economists alike Andrew Crockett President, JPMorgan Chase International Former General Manager, The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Acknowledgments We are grateful to Sir Andrew Crockett for taking the time from his busy schedule to write the Foreword to this book Sir Andrew is, without a doubt, among a handful of the most respected and experienced international bankers of the last quarter of a century—senior official of the International Monetary Fund, executive director of the Bank of England, head of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), member of the Group of Thirty, and the president of JPMorgan Chase International We are thrilled and honored by his contribution We are indebted to our editor, John Owen, for improving the manuscript We also acknowledge the hard work of our production editor, Joel Balbin The support of John Wiley & Sons (Asia) for Islamic economics and finance is greatly appreciated Finally, none of this would have been possible without the love and support of our families; to them we will always remain grateful xiii 214 THE STABILITY OF ISLAMIC FINANCE financial failure of one counterparty reverberates around the world In short, cross-border equity financing does not reinforce instability and panic in the way that debt does Financial instability, in turn, has significant economic and social costs First and foremost, it leads directly to an economic contraction as financing becomes unavailable The loss in national economic output can be significant and prolonged Next, governments invariably resort to bailouts as the way to rescue their faltering financial system Bailouts impose a burden on current and future taxpayers Moreover, when the central bank tries to socialize losses from a speculative boom through large bailouts, it could set in motion an inflationary process This penalizes the public for policy mismanagement, and causes large wealth redistribution from fixed income wage earners and creditors in favor of banks and debtors Moreover, high inflation causes a deflation of real output and may degenerate into stagflation if inflationary expectations become fully embedded in the price and wage system These separate costs, even if we had good estimates for each, cannot be simply added up to come up with a single cost estimate That would be akin to adding up oranges and apples How can one simply add the drop in output, the purchase of toxic assets by the government, increased unemployment payments, government financial guarantees and the direct infusion of cash into financial institutions? But all of these are real costs of financial turmoil In the financial crisis that started in the US in 2007, the components of the cost are disparate and impossible to quantify, at least in 2009 For instance, in an article on April 29, 2009, The Financial Times reported that according to the IMF “Efforts to stabilize the financial system could end up costing US taxpayers about 13.3 percent of annual output, or $1,900 billion per year over the next five years.” This, the paper calculated, equates to about $6,200 per head of the population.1 This only covers efforts to stabilize the financial system While the figure of $9.5 trillion (that is $1,900 billion per year for five years) may seem large, it does not include all financial guarantees and purchases of toxic assets by various branches of the US government (especially the Federal Reserve) By our estimates, as of April 2009, this figure was close to $15 trillion, and rising When all the other potential costs listed above are added to this, the true cost of financial stabilization would appear to be simply staggering Last resort bailouts are tantamount to a validation of the uncontrolled money creation by financial institutions An Islamic system avoids such an outcome: in the absence of last resort lending there can be no uncontrolled liquidity creation or, therefore, inflation based on monetary policy As the current financial crisis and previous episodes of financial instability were initiated, and in large part caused, by overly expansionary monetary Conclusion 215 and credit policies in many industrial and developing countries there may well be a need for a Basel III agreement to regulate the regulators—the central banks—and set guidelines for safe central banking aimed at financial stability, rather than at full employment In the absence of such a regulatory framework, the existing arrangements under Basel I and II—even if fully implemented—cannot prevent future episodes of severe international financial instability Finally, we should note that the social and human costs of financial instability and financial crises, though impossible to quantify, might even dwarf the economic costs The human cost of prolonged unemployment—its impact on the individual psyche and on families—cannot be overestimated The impacts on individual regions are much more extreme than the average effects The unfair redistribution of wealth, at the expense of individuals on fixed incomes and creditors, is simply immoral Islamic finance avoids these and other pitfalls of a financial system based on credit and leveraging We cannot keep repeating the cycles of boom and bust and pretending that the next time the results will be different We are living out the adage that defines stupidity as repeating the same act and expecting a different result the next time! It is time for the world community to lift its head out of the sand, to shed its reliance on debt, interest and leveraging, to totally revamp the financial system to rely on equity ENDNOTE
