One of the critical challenges is how Islamic financial institutions can be motivated to participate in the 'equity-like' profit-and-loss sharing (PLS) contracts. It is observed that Islamic banks are reluctant to participate in the pure PLS scheme which is manifested by the rising concentration of investment on \u003ci\u003emurabaha\u003c\/i\u003e or mark-up financing. This phenomenon has been the hotbed of academic criticism on the contemporary practice of Islamic banking. This book explains the '\u003ci\u003emurabaha\u003c\/i\u003e syndrome' in light of the incentive provided by the current institutional framework and what are the changes required in the governance structure to mend this anomaly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235732377944,"sku":"9781138095403","price":142.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138095403_550c7e52-e644-4812-9f96-2c77ad173323.jpg?v=1777266959","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dilemmas-and-challenges-in-islamic-finance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
