Are sustainability agendas in Bangladesh’s ṣukūk market translating into meaningful practice, or remaining largely symbolic?

This study finds that while most government and corporate ṣukūk reference social or environmental objectives, gaps in verification, impact reporting, and investor demand limit their substantive impact.

As global finance increasingly prioritises credible ESG integration and measurable outcomes, the findings invite renewed reflection on how emerging markets can strengthen sustainability frameworks, institutional coordination, and Sharīʿah governance to ensure ṣukūk genuinely contribute to sustainable development.

“Unfamiliarity with Islamic finance-compliant IP products is a further issue. Within the potential marketplace, there is a lack of exemplars of successful applications of IP/Islamic finance products that can demonstrate beneficial results to all parties. The legal rights and remits of Sharia scholars in relation to IP rights are not clearly defined. There is a lack of understanding of the role of Sharia scholars in the development of an IP and Islamic finance industry.”

Is Fintech the catalyst to move Islamic finance from replicating conventional models to creating truly distinct, value-driven solutions?

"Islamic law holds a principle that the basic rule in business transactions (mu'amalah) is permissibility (ibahah), except when there is a clear text which prohibits it. The permissibility principle provides a flexible room for innovation and new practices in business and financial transactions."

A blended ISF–microtakāful model integrates zakat, waqf, and takāful to support B40 communities and small businesses—driving inclusion and resilience.

“By blending ISF with microtakāful and leveraging government support, it is possible to create a comprehensive and sustainable financial ecosystem. This approach not only provides financial protection but also fosters economic empowerment and social upliftment.”

This study highlights the critical role of bank liquidity creation in shaping real economic output across different banking systems.

In tri-banking systems, hybrid conventional banks (HCBs) show the strongest impact, while in dual systems, both Islamic and conventional banks contribute positively—though conventional banks have a slight edge.

💡 These findings emphasize the need for balanced financial policies to ensure sustainable growth without undermining the role of Islamic banking.

“It is well documented in the finance–growth nexus literature of the banking system that liquidity creation fosters real output and more efficient banks create more liquidity for the economy.”
