• Islamic Capital Markets operate in line with Shariah principles. Shariah is basically Islamic law that is derived primarily from the Quran and Sunnah.
• Shariah essentially allows all economic activities unless there is a clear prohibition. The prohibited activities include:-
• The legal relationships in Islamic finance are NOT about “LENDING” and “BORROWING” but instead about trade and/or equity participation including “SALE”, “PURCHASE”, “LEASE”, “CONSTRUCTION”, “INVESTMENT”, “AGENCY” and “PARTNERSHIP”.
Financial services based on riba
(interest)
Gambling and gaming which are not permitted by
Shariah
Manufacture or sale of non-halal
prohibited commodities
Conventional insurance
Entertainment activities which
are not permitted by Shariah
Stock-broking or share trading in securities not approved by
Shariah

What are Islamic Capital Markets?Shariah essentially allows all economic activities unless clearly prohibited
5
What are Shariah Principles?Shariah principles form the basis of Shariah-compliant financial transactions
• Various products are available in the Islamic Capital Markets including Shariah-compliant equities, Sukuk, unit trusts, Shariah indices, exchange traded funds and crude palm oil futures contracts.
• The products can be structured based on one or more Shariah principles:
LEASE CONTRACT
IJARAH(Leasing)
ISTISNA’(Purchase Order)

What are Sukuk?Bonds are financial obligations arising from conventional borrowing and lending, whereas Sukuk represent ownership/interest in an asset
Sukuk have various definitions depending on jurisdiction including:
“A document or certificate which represents the value of an asset.” – Securities Commission Malaysia
“An Islamic investment certificate which represents an undivided beneficial ownership of an underlying asset…which grants investors a share of an asset along with the cash flows and risk commensurate with such ownership.” – Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI)
Regardless of the jurisdiction or technical definition, the concept of Sukuk is universal and differs from a conventional bond in the following respects:
Features Sukuk Conventional Bonds
Issuer Issuer’s principal activities or the use of proceeds must not contradict Shariah
No restriction
Approvals Must be approved by the relevant regulatory body and Shariah Adviser. In certain jurisdictions, together with the Shariah regulatory body
Must be approved by the relevant regulatory body
Form Based on trade transaction, represented by sale, lease, investment or joint venture contracts
Based on model of borrowing/lending
8
What are Sukuk? (Cont’d)
Features Sukuk Conventional Bonds
Utilisation of Proceeds
Should not contradict Shariah No restriction
Asset requirement
Yes Typically no, except for Asset Backed Securities and secured transactions
Security Can be structured as clean or secured
Credit Enhancement / Ring-fencing
Can be included as features of both instruments
Use of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as issuing conduit
Required under selected structures to facilitate the underlying Shariah contracts and target investors
Typically not required except for Asset Backed Securities transactions when bankruptcy remoteness is required
Exposure to Bigger Market
Sukuk enjoy a wider investor base from both sets of investors – Islamic & conventional, thereby maximizing demand for the securities
Sukuk may also lead to better profiling/exposure for issuers and enhance their credit profile in new markets
Conventional bonds are not acceptable to Islamic investors. As such, limited exposure to conventional investors only
9
Features Sukuk Conventional Bonds
Programme/ Issuance Cost
Lead Manager/Lead Arranger fees are similar to conventional bonds transactions
Documentation costs could be marginally higher
Shariah Advisory fee
No additional Shariah Advisory Fee
Documentation
In addition to the common issue documents, additional documents to evidence the Islamic transactions
Common issue documents such as Programme Agreement/ Facility Agreement, Subscription Agreement, etc
Tax Incentives (in Malaysia)
Tax deductibility on issuance expenses for selected structures: Ijarah and Wakalah
No tax incentives on issuance expenses
Risk Both conventional bonds and Sukuk are exposed to credit risk and market risk
What are Sukuk? (Cont’d)
To tap into a new and wider investor base (Islamic and conventional funds)
Potential pricing competitiveness vis-a-vis conventional bonds
Diversification of investors
Alternative source of funding - Provides issuers option to tap a new funding source (in addition to the bank market and conventional fixed income investors)
Tax Incentive in Malaysia – Tax deductibility on issuance expenses for selected structures
Why Sukuk?Key Advantages of Issuing Sukuk

Policy Principles
What should be done?
Creating a "level
playing field"
• Sukuk structures typically involve purchase or lease of, or investment into, underlying assets which may attract tax and/or stamp duties, depending on the jurisdiction
• Regulators have to look at the economic substance of the Islamic financial transactions and make the necessary amendments to the tax legislation in order to ensure Sukuk will be at par with bonds
• Drawing on the Malaysian experience, all taxes, levies and duties that would otherwise be payable on the underlying transactions have been neutralised. Thereby placing Sukuk on a level paying field vis-à-vis bonds
• Also, profits/returns payable under Sukuk are treated similar to “interest” for tax purposes.
Regulation for Shariah Advisory
• In Malaysia, the Shariah Advisory Council of Securities Commission Malaysia acts as the sole authoritative body to advise on Shariah matters pertaining to Islamic capital market products
• Alternatively, other jurisdictions including United Kingdom and Hong Kong have taken the approach to be guided by the resolutions of Shariah advisor(s) appointed for the respective Sukuk transactions
Developing the Sukuk MarketMaking Islamic Capital Markets effective, efficient and conducive
Depending on a country’s existing regulations on capital market transactions and its legal and tax framework, the development of Sukuk in a new market would typically involve the following:
Policy Principles
What should be done?
Evolving Regulatory Landscape
• The Islamic Finance industry is still growing and evolving, as such the regulatory framework in Malaysia does not encompass all known Islamic structures in the industry. Securities Commission Malaysia provides the flexibility to new Shariah structures which may not be covered under current regulations
Broadening the Investor
Base
• Broadening the local investors base is fundamental to create demand in investment into local Sukuk issuances by the government, government linked agencies, state owned enterprises and corporate
Incentives to Encourage Growth of the Market
• In order to encourage growth of the Sukuk market in Malaysia, the government introduced incentives such as tax deduction/exemptions to issuers/investors in order to boost issuance of/investment in Sukuk e.g. no withholding tax for profit/coupon for non-resident investors under Malaysia’s Income Tax Act

Islamic Structure Challenges and Highlights
Structure and Diagram of Cashflows
MEXIM’s Sukuk issuance was designed to raise Islamic funding to build MEXIM’s Islamic banking and finance business.
MEXIM’s Sukuk were widely marketed to Middle Eastern based investors to promote and develop Malaysia’s global Sukuk market.
Majority of Middle Eastern based investors only permit Sukuk with asset based Sukuk structures such as Ijarah, Musharakah, Mudarabah and Wakalah to be tradable.
The following challenges were faced when structuring MEXIM’s Sukuk:
Islamic investors tradability requirements, requiring asset based Sukuk (backed by tangible assets); and
MEXIM’s lack of tangible assets to provide for its Sukuk given that it is a conventional bank.
The Wakalah structure (as illustrated on the right) conceived for this exercise addressed the key issues faced by MEXIM with the following:
MEXIM will only require to source/identify tangible assets of 34% of the Sukuk issuance proceeds;
The tangible asset component can first be sourced externally and gradually substituted with MEXIM’s growing Islamic banking assets business through a substitution undertaking agreement; and
The intangible asset component of the Wakalah portfolio (Commodity Murabahah) supports the remaining portion of Wakalah portfolio to reduce the required tangible assets.

Trends in the Global Sukuk Market
33
• The year 2014 has been a ground-breaking year in the Islamic capital markets as we witness non-Muslim majority global financial centres tap the global Sukuk market for their sovereign funding needs:
July 2014: UK became the first country outside of the Muslim majority nations to issue Sukuk. The £200 million (USD343 million) issue with maturity of 5 years, priced at 2.036%, was 11.5 times oversubscribed attracting orders of more than £2 billion from global investors
September 2014: The Hong Kong government's USD1 billion five-year Sukuk, priced at 2.005%, were oversubscribed 4.7 times with orders of US$4.7 billion
September 2014: South Africa, the third non-Muslim majority country to issue sovereign Sukuk, issued USD500 million Sukuk which were more than four times oversubscribed, with an order book of $2.2 billion. The Sukuk, with maturity of 5 years and 9 months, were priced at 3.90% with a spread of 180 b.p. above the corresponding mid-swap benchmark rate
October 2014: Luxembourg issued its debut €200 million (USD253 million) five-year Sukuk, with an order book that was more than two times oversubscribed. The AAA-rated sovereign Sukuk were priced at a profit rate of 0.436%
• Other non-Muslim majority countries including Australia and Thailand have also expressed interest to tap the global Sukuk Market.

USD Government-Linked Corporate Sukuk: Sime Darby’s Inaugural USD SukukDiversification of USD funding sources led to its foray in the Reg S Sukuk market
Sime Darby’s Funding Requirements
Inline with the Sime Darby Group’s global business, Sime Darby required access to foreign currency debt capital market funding.
Sime Darby’s USD funding had traditionally been dominated by bank borrowings, and Sime Darby wanted to diversify its funding base into the USD debt capital markets.
Our Funding Solution
By establishing a multi-currency sukuk programme (the “Multi-Currency Sukuk Programme”), Sime Darby can issue sukuk in a host of international currencies including USD.
Sime Darby, one of the largest listed government linked-companies in Malaysia would then be able to make its debut appearance in the international Reg S markets and tap new and large investor pools in the Middle East.
