Understanding Sukuk and Islamic finance requires clarity on both Sharia principles and local regulations. Here are answers to frequently asked questions from issuers and investors in Bangladesh.
What is the role of a Sharia Supervisory Board in Sukuk issuance?
The Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) provides independent oversight to ensure that all aspects of the Sukuk issuance, from structuring to documentation and ongoing operations, comply with Islamic law. Their approval is crucial for the Sukuk to be considered genuinely Sharia-compliant.
Can Sukuk be used for infrastructure projects in Bangladesh?
Yes, Sukuk are an ideal instrument for financing infrastructure projects, particularly through structures like Ijarah (lease-based) or Istisna (manufacturing/construction-based) Sukuk. They provide a Sharia-compliant alternative for long-term financing of tangible assets.
What are the tax implications for Sukuk in Bangladesh?
