The dearth of Islamic liquidity management instruments has been a challenge in modern Islamic banking throughout its 40-year history.

Islamic banks in the GCC today hold 9% of their assets in cash and equivalents and 10% in placements with other financial institutions. Currently, Islamic banks place liquid funds in short-term instruments such as commodity murabaha that Shariah rules have deemed non-tradable in secondary markets because of bans on trading receivables. Moreover, stakeholders typically view these inflexible instruments as artificial transactions. Many Shariah experts had hoped they would be temporary solutions used in limited contexts where no other instruments could be developed, but lacking alternatives, they have persisted and become widely adopted in the industry.

According to Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre, since the launch of Dubai: Capital of Islamic Economy vision, the Centre has been working with stakeholders and strategic partners towards developing Islamic finance instruments and reinforcing the significant role of existing instruments such as sukuk in the growth of Islamic finance.
