thoughts on liquidity
More than listing
Is there a buyer when
you are a seller?
More than negotiable
At what price?

liquidity management
LME Murabaha is main destination
Bilateral transactions
Counterparty limits
Some funds exist
But not capable of market size
transactions
Segmentation inevitable
Co-operation needed with a market
level solution

No Inter-bank market
Balance sheet management problem
Cannot easily finance when there are
withdrawals
So more liquidity than needed by a
conventional bank
Bilateral Murabaha with break clauses is
widespread
liquidity vehicles cannot withstand a
$100million injection or withdrawal

Risk Pyramid
Sound ALM requires a quality / liquidity
pyramid.
Most liquid is USD bill or note
Nil earnings but price stability vs USD
Then a range of bonds from super nationals
to governments and funds
Most with price risk
Some with earnings volatility but fixed price
No such highly rated Islamic instruments

Risk Pyramid
Governments reserves are in gold
and government Triple-A paper
Fiduciary or trust money should
be both liquid and safe and price
risk free
Basle II is approaching
Even before that sound risk
management principles apply

Risk Pyramid
Pyramid of risk
Blended portfolio from
Triple-A down to Single-B
Can interpolate risk
between Triple A and
Single-A
Cannot extrapolate risk
from lesser risks to triple-A
