Islamic finance, growth, and stability

Hasan, Zubair (2021): Islamic finance, growth, and stability.

Abstract

Economists regard the financial and the real sectors of an economy as complementary; the two sides of the same coin. Islamic finance conceives of these sectors differently, albeit not independent of each other. Islamic approach is distinct in that it shuns interest, speculation and indeterminacy. At the same time, it is not independent because Islam allows a time value for money, and maintains of asset liquidity plus system stability as its guiding business principles. The discussion n the subject is scanty. This paper seeks to fill the gap. A diversion briefly discusses debt versus equity as sources for financing growth bringing in technology.
