Marmara University
Research Center for Islamic Economics (IKAM) in collaboration with Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) and Turkish Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics Association (IGIAD) will organize 7th Islamic Economics Workshop, which will be hosted by Marmara University from 5 to 7 April, 2019. The theme of this year’s workshop is “Monetary Issues in Islamic Economics”.
A major part of problems existing in contemporary economies are attributed to the existence of fiat currencies. The current monetary system is not only a key source of exorable increase in interest rates but also a principal cause of inflation and collapse in value of money in many countries. This modern usurious alchemy is at the heart of fractional reserve banking and its controversial ability to create fictional purchasing power by charging interest on money. The challenges in international context are equally abstruse where few reserve currencies are ruling over international market with exorbitant advantage over others leaving the weaker ones exposed to daily artificial fluctuations of exchange rates.
An Islamic monetary system is certainly a solution theoretical foundations for which have long been laid by pioneers of Islamic Economics discipline. The pioneers have blazed the trail, what is left is the development of a comprehensive theory of Islamic monetary economics. Hence, this year’s workshop’s aim is to argue, debate and elucidate misconceptions related to monetary conundrum in Islamic Economics. Experienced academia from Islamic Economics discipline would offer different perspectives, critically evaluate the existing works and propose suggestions for reducing differences to set a common future course of action. In this framework, topics that will be covered in the workshop related to the issue of “Monetary Issues in Islamic Economics” should address but are not restricted to the following issues:
1. Reputation, risk-taking and monetary policy in Islamic economy
2. Money creation from Islamic perspective
3. The theory of the financial intermediation from Islamic perspectives
4. Capital requirements, systematic risk and monetary policy
5. The importance and needs of macro-prudential in Islamic monetary policy
6. Fiat Money, Gold Standard, Islamic Currency and the Gold Dinar
