Hence, financing risks need a special focus. With
the integration of global financial markets, one
ought to recognize that risk associated with bank

from internal and external factors.

banks internal factors such as Non-Performing
Loans (NPL), loan concentration, leverage and
others.

8.2 THE CONCEPT OF RISK FROM ISLAMIC
AND CONVENTIONAL PERSPECTIVES
Definition of risk
In finance and banking, risk is defined as the
likelihood that we would receive return on an
investment that is different then what we had
expected.
The risks associated with Islamic Banking institutions
refer to the probable reductions in their value due to
changes in the business environment.
Risk refers to probable loss of income and asset
value.

CONCEPT OF RISK FROM CONVENTIONAL
PERSPECTIVES
Conventional risk have the structure and means for
risk management and control that enable them to
choose a suitable level of risk that the owners of
the banks are willing to bear.
Their operations are based on the rule that risk and
time are like goods that are bought and sold. There
are markets where it is possible to trade them
freely.
The main essence about risk is the uncertainties of
an outcome.
6
Investors are divided into 3 distinct categories
according to their risk tolerance levels.
7
In conventional finance, the fundamental failure of
the moral sphere is a real issue. Consumers were
receiving mortgages they cannot afford, which in
Islam is unethical.
For the sellers of financial products, greed is a
moral issue and is a root cause of the actions
contributing to the financial meltdown.

CONCEPT OF RISK ISLAMIC FROM PERSPECTIVES
9
The term risk in Islam is Gharar (Arabic language).
It is referred to the risk or probability. This term
means risk, hazard and perils.
An Islamic finance term describing a risky or
hazardous sale, where details concerning the sale
item are unknown or uncertain.
Gharar is generally prohibited under Islam, which
explicitly forbids trades that are considered to have
excessive risk due to uncertainty.
There are strict rules in Islamic finance against
transactions that are highly uncertain or may cause
any injustice or deceit against any of the parties.
10
All businesses involves some level of risk, therefore
unlike riba, gharar is a relative concept when it
comes to uncertainty, risk and hazard, with a
certain level of uncertainty being tolerated.
However, when it comes to deceit or fraud, gharar
is an absolute concept.
Then, if contains elements of gharar that will cause
the contract to be void.
Islamic finance does focus on demand side issues
as well as the supply side. This can include for
instance, promoting responsibility among
consumers, promoting accountability, providing
guidelines on the take up, use and payment of
debt, and providing warnings to the dangers of
excess.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is defined as the probability of the borrower
unable or default to make payment on his loan.
So it leads to a loss for the creditor and, therefore,
becomes a risk for the bank.
The loss may be complete or can arise in a number of
circumstances :
- Consumer fail to make payment due on a
mortgage loan, credit card, personal loan.
- A business or government bond issuer does not
make a payment on a coupon or principal
payment when due.
- An insolvent bank wont return funds to a
depositor
- A government grants bankruptcy protection to an
insolvent consumer or business

Solution to Reduce Credit Risk

Mudarabah and Musyarakah, these two also bear a
credit risk in two ways.
1. In the case of tort or negligence, the entrepreneur
is liable to guarantee the capital which means a
debt liability.
2. When the capital of Mudarabah or Musyarakah are
employed in a deferred sale, which is what takes
place in most Mudarabah, the owner of capital
(Rabb al-mal), the bank in this case, bears an
indirect credit risk.
This risk pertains to the ability of the counter parties
to repay.
20
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of losses in positions arising
from movements in market prices.
Also referred to as systematic risk.
Market risk is the fluctuation of returns caused by
the macroeconomic factors that affect all risky
assets.
21
It also can be thought of as the opportunity cost of
putting money at risk.
Some market risks include the potential impact of
adverse price movements such as:
- Benchmark rates
- Foreign exchange rates
- Equity prices on the economic value of an
asset
- Commodity prices example crude oil, copper
22
MARKET RISK FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVES
But even generic risks (including market risk) are not
that straightforward in Islamic banking
For financing that involves financing assets e.g.
Murabahah, Salam, Istisna and Ijarah, the risks of
financing may transform from credit to market and vice
versa at different stages of the contract
Many Islamic Bank use external benchmarks such as
the LIBOR to price markup in Murabahah contract, in
part reflecting the lack of reliable domestic benchmark
rate of return.
If domestic monetary conditions change, requiring
adjustment in the returns on deposits and loans, but the
margin between external benchmark and domestic rate
of return shifts, there could be impact on assets return.
23
LIQUIDITY RISK
In finance, liquidity risk is the risk that given security or
asset cannot be traded quickly enough in the market to
prevent a loss (or make the required profit).
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk to
earnings or capital arising from a banks inability to meet
its obligations or to fund increases in assets when they
come due without incurring unacceptable costs or
losses.
Liquidity risk includes the inability to manage unplanned
decreases or changes in funding sources.
It is also arises from the failure to recognize or address
changes in market conditions that affect the ability to
liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value.

governance, business strategies and processes.
