The Global Islamic Finance Report (GIFR) is a globally recognized and respected yearbook, providing an annual review and in-depth analysis of the state of affairs of the Islamic financial services industry. It is a means through which innovative ideas of the leading thinkers and practitioners are disseminated to the wider Islamic and conventional financial markets. GIFR 2016 focuses on Islamic financial policy, and is written by leading experts in the global Islamic financial services industry. It also features a global survey on the perceived needs for Islamic financial policy in countries where Islamic banking and finance are significant. The main feature of GIFR is the Islamic Finance Country Index (IFCI), which is a composite index used for ranking countries with respect to the state of Islamic banking and finance and their leadership role in the industry. The GIFR is a practical resource for industry practitioners, policy-making institutions, financial services think tanks, academic institutions and other research organisations seeking for thought leadership views on Islamic finance as well as a comprehensive overview of the latest global industry development. The previous six annual reports (2010-15) focused on Size and Growth of the Islamic Financial Services Industry; Regulation of Islamic Financial Services; Islamic Philanthropy and Social Responsibility; Islamic Finance and Halal Industry; Human Resources Development in Islamic Finance; and Leadership in Islamic Banking and Finance Industry.

Income inequality has increased considerably in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007†“08 to the extent that one percent of global population possess almost half of the global assets. Whereas the development community is unanimous to tackle growing inequality and imbalance in the distribution of wealth, there is a difference of opinion as to the approaches to achieve this goal. This report presents a perspective from Islamic finance on how shared prosperity can be enhanced. The theoretical framework for economic development by Islamic economics and finance is based on four fundamental pillars: (i) an institutional framework and public policy oriented to the development objectives of Islam; (ii) prudent governance and accountable leadership; (iii) promotion of the economic and financial system based on risk sharing; and (iv) financial and social inclusion for all, promoting development, growth, and shared prosperity. There is evidence that Islamic finance is experiencing high growth with the banking sector leading the way. Several countries are working seriously towards developing standards, regulation and legal frameworks for the development of Islamic finance. However, there are a number of aspects where policy interventions or improvements in policy effectiveness are needed to develop Islamic finance to promote shared prosperity. Without the enabling environment, Islamic finance may not be able to attain the potential expected of it. With adequate policy interventions and enabling financial infrastructure, Islamic finance could become a catalyst for alleviating poverty and inclusive prosperity.

Islamic finance has started to grow in international finance across the globe, with some concentration in few countries. Nearly 20 percent annual growth of Islamic finance in recent years seems to point to its resilience and broad appeal, partly owing to principles that govern Islamic financial activities, including equity, participation, and ownership. In theory, Islamic finance is resilient to shocks because of its emphasis on risk sharing, limits on excessive risk taking, and strong link to real activities. Empirical evidence on the stability of Islamic banks, however, is so far mixed. While these banks face similar risks as conventional banks do, they are also exposed to idiosyncratic risks, necessitating a tailoring of current risk management practices. The macroeconomic policy implications of the rapid expansion of Islamic finance are far reaching and need careful considerations.

"The IFSB IFSI Stability Report 2016 seeks to illuminate these issues for the IFSB wide membership, as well as for all those who have a substantive interest in the stability and resilience of Islamic finance. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the global IFSI as well as updates on trends and developments in the three sectors of the industry - Islamic banking, the Islamic capital market and takaful; Chapter 2 examines the initiatives undertaken by international standard-setting bodies to further ensure the stability of the financial institutions and markets, as well as the implications of such reforms for institutions offering Islamic financial services (IIFS). It also reviews the progress of various projects and initiatives undertaken by the IFSB to enhance the supervisory framework so as to ensure stability and soundness of the IFSI. These initiatives include the development of new standards for the IFSI, namely Technical Note on Stress Testing for IIFS and Guiding Principles for Disclosure of Islamic Capital Market Products; Chapter 3 assesses the resilience of the Islamic financial system, which includes technical analysis of selected indicators as well as assessment of risks and vulnerabilities in the three sectors. They also include a box article by Bangladesh Bank, which examines the financial stability of the Islamic banking system in the jurisdiction. They were deeply grateful for the inputs provided by Bangladesh Bank, which is a member of the IFSB Council; Finally, Chapter 4 addresses emerging issues in Islamic finance that have been identified as a priority in the new IFSB Strategic Performance Plan (2016-18). Three issues are discussed in the chapter, which include: (a) Cross-Sectoral Links between Sectors of the IFSI and Implications for Systemic Stability; (b) AML/CFT Regulations and Islamic Financial Services Industry; and (c) Assessing Regulatory Consistency in the Implementation of Global Prudential Standards. This chapter also benefits from contributions by the European Banking Authority (EBA) which provides an overview of its work on convergence of banking supervisory practices in the European Union. They hope that this form of collaboration with other institutions will lead to the development of a global network of expertise that can help to increase awareness and understanding of emerging issues faced by the IFSI."--Foreword.

The current Global Financial Stability Report (April 2016) finds that global financial stability risks have risen since the last report in October 2015. The new report finds that the outlook has deteriorated in advanced economies because of heightened uncertainty and setbacks to growth and confidence, while declines in oil and commodity prices and slower growth have kept risks elevated in emerging markets. These developments have tightened financial conditions, reduced risk appetite, raised credit risks, and stymied balance sheet repair. A broad-based policy response is needed to secure financial stability. Advanced economies must deal with crisis legacy issues, emerging markets need to bolster their resilience to global headwinds, and the resilience of market liquidity should be enhanced. The report also examines financial spillovers from emerging market economies and finds that they have risen substantially. This implies that when assessing macro-financial conditions, policymakers may need to increasingly take into account economic developments in emerging market economies. Finally, the report assesses changes in the systemic importance of insurers, finding that across advanced economies the contribution of life insurers to systemic risk has increased in recent years. The results suggest that supervisors and regulators should take a more macroprudential approach to the sector.
