The World Bank Group, the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), and the Islamic Development Bank Group published Mobilizing Islamic Finance for Infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships in 2017— focusing on two dimensions. This report saw extensive preparatory consultations among Islamic finance practitioners worldwide and generated significant interest from key stakeholders. This Reference Guide is the response to this need. It aims to reduce any added complexity and share more knowledge about Islamic transactions. Ultimately, this will lead to lower transaction costs and greater uptake.
Document Details:
This Reference Guide is the response to the need for augmented capacity to scale up the use of Islamic finance and for standardization of documentation across various sectors and asset classes — in effect, a road map for its use. It aims to reduce any added complexity and share more knowledge about Islamic transactions. The Reference Guide includes four case studies to illustrate how the different shari'ah-compliant structures have been used in infrastructure PPPs. In addition, this Reference Guide provides a complete set of Islamic finance template agreements as practical tools which can be applied, with due modification, to a host of infrastructure projects.
