Course Introduction
Sukuk is emerging in Korea, as it is in Asia in general, as an increasingly important asset class and one
that financiers need to be familiar
with. Sukuk products have a
number of important objectives: to offer a mechanism for the sharing of profits from a project or asset; to enable organizations to raise capital in a Shariah-compliant fashion; and to expand the investor bases for issuers
and offering investment opportunities to new groups.
Considering their infancy, Sukuk may be structured in a number of increasingly complex ways. Indeed, new products are being continuously developed and further innovation is underway as Sukuk become more widely accepted and mainstream. Challenges, however, remain: issues concerning ratings, liquidity, Shariah, standardization,
taxation, product acceptability and documentation all combine to ensure the development of Sukuk instruments is no straightforward task. Further complications have recently arisen due to a number
of high profile defaults in
the GCC. What have these events taught
us about future Sukuk issuances and structures?
This new 3-day course has been tailored to address issues relevant to the fledgling South Korean Islamic
finance market. The program will examine product structures in detail, and will focus in particular on Murabahah and Ijarah based transactions. Also covered will be taxation and legal/documentation issues and many important
points and concepts will be
illustrated through real-life industry case studies. The course will present the position of important industry bodies, such as the Accounting & Auditing
Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) relevant to Sukuk instruments, and how to ensure Shariah compliance.
