What are the regulatory frameworks governing Islamic finance

Regulatory Frameworks Governing Islamic Finance

Islamic finance is governed by a set of regulatory frameworks that ensure compliance with Sharia law. These frameworks provide guidelines for financial transactions that are in line with Islamic principles, such as the prohibition of interest (riba) and uncertainty (gharar).

Some of the key regulatory frameworks governing Islamic finance include:

1. Sharia Supervisory Boards	These boards are responsible for ensuring that financial products and services comply with Sharia law. They provide guidance on complex financial transactions to ensure they are in line with Islamic principles.
2. Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB)	The IFSB sets standards and guidelines for Islamic financial institutions to promote sound and stable Islamic financial systems.
3. Central Bank Regulations	Central banks in Islamic countries regulate Islamic financial institutions to ensure compliance with Sharia law and maintain financial stability.

By understanding and adhering to these regulatory frameworks, Islamic financial institutions can operate ethically and transparently, attracting investors who seek Sharia-compliant financial products and services.
