Abstract

The Islamic finance model is sufficiently well specified at the “bank-to-client” level, but does not regulate the “central bank-to-bank” and “bank-to-bank” relationships. This paper proposes a concrete Shariah-compatible mechanism for setting up an Islamic interbank loan market and managing Islamic bank liquidity, which allows a segregation of Islamic and non-Islamic finance. Islamic banks should as a minimum delink from LIBOR and other traditional reference rates and come up with their own financial benchmarks.

Keywords: Islamic banks, central bank, liquidity, interbank lending market, money market
