Mudarabah: Deposit or investment? Latest EDs could raise operating costs for Islamic banks.

But we expect a muted impact (<1%) to financial groups -

Islamic operations account for just 9-16% of group earnings.

Impact on BIMB’s pretax profit (estd -4%) could be less than

earlier estimated. Maintain HOLD for now.

What’s New

Bank Negara had earlier issued various Islamic banking exposure

drafts and a guideline on investment accounts. The more relevant

one pertains to the treatment of Mudarabah accounts as

“investments” rather than “deposits”. Discussions are ongoing

between Bank Negara and the Islamic banks on possible routes to

take and there are still various issues to be ironed out.

What’s Our View

Some consequences of compliance could include (i) a slight

reduction in balance sheet size if restricted investment accounts

are taken off-balance sheet, (ii) higher operating costs if bankers

switch to Commodity Murabahah, and (iii) opportunity costs if

depositors decide to opt for conventional banks instead.

The financial impact will vary from bank to bank depending on the

strategy they adopt and the frequency of deposit churn. Based on

very general parameters, however, we guesstimate that the

additional transaction costs would average just about 5% of pretax

profit for Islamic banks. Since these banks account for less than

16% of their respective financial groups’ earnings, the impact at

the group level is even more marginal at <1%. Our BUYs continue to

be AMMB, HL Bank and HL Financial Group.

The impact to BIMB Holdings would be larger since Bank Islam

accounts for 81% of group pretax profit. Even so, we think the

impact would still be manageable at just -4%. Our current

forecasts already impute higher operating costs and we maintain

our HOLD on BIMB pending further update.

Deposit account or investment account?

Common Shariah principles

Before discussing the proposed changes in guidelines pertaining to Islamic

deposits, we would like to provide a brief summary of some of the more

common Shariah principles that are applied to Islamic deposits, which are:

Islamic principles applied to term deposits and CASA

Term deposits Current account/savings accounts (CASA)

Mudarabah (profit sharing) Mudarabah (profit sharing)

Murabahah (cost plus) Wadiah (custody or safekeeping)

Wakalah (agency) Qard (benevolent loan)

Source: Various

A summary of the various principles

Mudarabah Murabahah Wakalah Wadiah Qard

Concept of: Profit sharing Cost plus Agency Safekeeping/Custody Benevolent loan

Definition: A contract between a capital

provider (rabbul mal) and

entrepreneur (mudarib).

The rabbul mal provides

capital to be managed by the

mudarib.

Any profit is shared, with the

profit sharing ratio (PSR)

determined upfront.

Financial losses are borne

solely by the rabbul mal

(depositor) unless the mudarib

(bank) is negligent.

Customer purchases

an asset from the

vendor on a cost-plus

mark-up basis.

The mark-up or profit

margin has to be

agreed upfront.

The asset must exist

and be identifiable in

terms of its location,

quantity and quality.

Assets under

construction are not

eligible.

A contract in which a

party (muwakkil)

authorizes another

party as his agent

(wakil) to perform a

particular task.

As an agent, the bank

receives wakalah

(agency) fees.

The wakalah fee may

be determined based

on a percentage of a

reference rate eg the

BFR/BLR, KLIBOR or

cost of funds.

A contract by which

an owned asset is

placed with another

party on the basis of

trusteeship (amanah)

for safekeeping

purposes. Wadiah Yad

Dhamanah is applied

in Malaysia where the

custodian guarantees

the asset placed in

custody.

Bank may charge a

fee for safekeeping

the asset.

A contract of lending

a fungible asset to a

party who will benefit

from it and who will

return an equivalent

replacement.

Any pre-determined

amount (cash, kind or

benefit) over and

above the principal

qard amount, is

deemed riba.

The bank may give

hibah (a gift) to the

depositor at its own

discretion, provided it

is not pre-conditional.

Types: General Investment Account

(GIA): the most common form

of Islamic term deposits for

the mass market.

Special Investment Account

(SIA): Large deposits usually

from corporate depositors.

The depositor can negotiate

the PSR.

Specific Investment Account

(CIA): Depositor can negotiate

the PSR and decide which

projects it wants to

participate in. Profits placed

in a special pool which the

bank shares solely with that

depositor.

Bai Al-Inah;

underlying asset is

normally the bank’s

own assets eg floor

space, company car

etc.

Commodity

Murabahah:

underlying asset is a

commodity eg palm

oil or metal.

Deposits of an Islamic bank

In Malaysia, just to illustrate how the principles are applied, what we have

below is a breakdown of CIMB Islamic Bank’s customer deposits by product

type for illustration purposes, given that it has a more comprehensive

breakdown of its deposits than most of the other banks.

As we can see from the breakdown below, the principles of Wadiah, Qard

and Mudarabah are applied to savings and demand deposits. For term

deposits, the principles of Mudarabah, Murabahah, Wakalah are the most

common. The common feature between all three accounts is the

application of the Mudarabah principle.

Treatment of Mudarabah Accounts

Differentiating between deposit and investment accounts

Bank Negara’s Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (IFSA) sets out the

definition of “Islamic deposits” and “Investment accounts” as follows:

Islamic deposit: A sum of money accepted or paid in accordance with

Shariah:

a) On terms under which it will be repaid in full, with or without any

gains, return or any other consideration in money or money’s

worth, either on demand or at a time or in circumstances agreed

by or on behalf of the person making the payment and person

accepting it; or

b) Under an arrangement on terms whereby the proceeds under the

arrangement to be paid to the person paying the sum of money

shall not be less than such sum of money.

Investment account: An account under which money is paid and accepted

for the purposes of investment, including for the provision of finance, in

accordance with Shariah on terms that there is no express or implied

obligation to repay the money in full and:

a) Either only the profits, or both the profits or losses, thereon shall

be shared between the person paying the money and the person

accepting the money; or

b) With or without any return.

Mudarabah accounts cannot be deposits

By virtue of the definitions above, to be deemed a deposit, the capital

amount has to be protected.

Mudarabah accounts, which are based on the concept of profit sharing,

should not be deemed to be deposit accounts, as is the current practice,

because under this principle, there can be no guarantee that the principal

amount will be protected.

In fact, under Mudarabah, the capital provider/depositor stands to bear all

losses unless there is negligence on the part of the bank. As such,

Mudarabah deposits should be treated as investments.

Mudarabah accounts to be taken off-balance sheet?

In adhering strictly to the Mudarabah definition, Mudarabah account

holders cannot be treated as depositors because the capital is not

guaranteed and they stand to absorb all losses. Neither are they

shareholders because they do not have voting rights and are entitled to

profit distribution prior to dividend distributions. As such, Mudarabah

accounts are neither deposits nor equity and have to be reclassified as

investment accounts. But if they are investment accounts, where should

they appear in the balance sheet?

March 18, 2014 5

Malaysian Banks

One possible treatment is to take these investment accounts off-balance

sheet, a treatment which is illustrated in this excerpt from Al Rajhi

Banking & Investment Corporation’s (Al-Rajhi) latest financial statements

(2013). What we can see from the illustration below is that the Mudarabah

investment accounts are classified as a separate note to the accounts as an

off-balance sheet item.

Al Rajhi’s notes to the accounts (Dec 2013)

Source: Company

Whether an investment account has to be taken off-balance sheet or not

has not been clearly spelt out just yet by Bank Negara. We think it will

eventually depend on whether the account is a “restricted investment

account (RIA)” or “unrestricted investment account (URIA)”. Bank Negara

defines these two accounts as follows:

A restricted investment account (RIA) refers to a type of investment

account where the investment account holder provides a specific

investment mandate to the bank with regards to the purpose, asset

class, economic sector and period of investment.

An unrestricted investment account (URIA) refers to a type of

investment account where the investment account holder allows the

bank to make the ultimate investment decision without specifying any

particular restriction or condition.

RIAs, which are more akin to Mudarabah Specific Investment Accounts, may

have to be taken off-balance sheet, in our view. These currently account

for just a small portion of total deposits.

As for URIAs eg Mudarabah General and Special Investment Accounts, the

option may be to have these classified as a balance sheet line item that is

separate to customer deposits, but at least they could potentially be left

on-balance sheet.

March 18, 2014 6

Malaysian Banks

The implications and options to a bank

In light of the above, banks essentially have two main options: (i) to either

keep the Mudarabah status of their accounts, or (ii) to consider alternative

Islamic principle treatments to these accounts.

Option 1: To keep the Mudarabah status of the accounts

If banks opt to maintain the Mudarabah status their accounts, they will

have to reclassify these accounts as investment accounts rather than

deposits. There are several implications to this treatment:

1. Asset size may see a slight reduction. As discussed above, it has not

been decided just yet as to what extent investment accounts have to

be taken off-balance sheet – this in turn would determine the extent to

which a bank’s asset size would contract. The impact is likely to be

quite mild if only RIA are taken off-balance sheet.

2. These deposits may no longer be guaranteed by PIDM. All depositors

(whether business or individuals) are insured by Perbadanan Insurans

Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) to the tune of MYR250,000 per depositor per

member financial institution. Mudarabah deposits, once classified as

investment accounts, may no longer be guaranteed by PIDM. Whether

banks have to compensate for this higher risk via higher profit rates,

remains to be seen.

3. Increased administrative procedures, possible impact to Basel III

ratios? As an investment account product, banks will have to prepare

product disclosure sheets and provide regular updates on the

performance of the underlying investments. Moreover, the

management and maintenance of investment accounts has to be

separated from other funds and assets managed by the bank.

It is not clear at this stage as to whether Basel III ratios such as the

liquidity coverage ratio or net stable funding ratio would be impacted

by having removed these deposits from the balance sheet.

4. Third party guarantees? We understand that another possible way of

keeping the Mudarabah accounts on-balance sheet is to have these

accounts carry third party guarantees, but this would entail additional

costs. This could possibly be feasible for term deposits, but would be

costly for CASA.

March 18, 2014 7

Malaysian Banks

Option 2a: to apply an alternative Islamic principle - Wadiah

In a bid to keep the deposits on balance sheet, banks could opt to apply an

alternative Islamic principle to these deposits. At this point in time, the

two most obvious choices would be either (i) Wadiah or (ii) Murabahah, or

more specifically, Commodity Murabahah.

Applying the Wadiah principle

The most obvious alternative would be to convert the Mudarabah deposits

to Wadiah deposits. However, in Dec 2013, Bank Negara issued an Exposure

Draft (ED) on Wadiah, which places various conditions on such accounts,

thus complicating the conversion from Mudarabah to Wadiah.

A quick review of two principles:

Wadiah employs the concept of trusteeship whereby the depositor

places his funds with the bank for safekeeping. In Malaysia, the

Shariah principle employed is Wadiah Yad Dhamanah, which extends

the safekeeping concept to include custodianship. The bank, as a

custodian, guarantees the asset placed in custody and must act to

safeguard the asset.

Qard is a benevolent loan and refers to a contract of lending a

fungible asset to a party who will benefit from it and who will

subsequently return an equivalent replacement.

Wadiah to be treated as similar to Qard

According to Bank Negara’s ED on Wadiah:

“Under Wadiah Yad Dhamanah involving money, the asset placed in

custody is in monetary form and the custodian is allowed to utilize the

money subject to the permission of the asset owner. Money is regarded as

a form of fungible asset. Therefore, it is construed as a Qard contract and

shall adhere to the rules related to Qard”

What this implies is that Wadiah Yad Dhamanah is similar in nature to Qard

if it involves money and therefore should adhere to rules relating to Qard.

The ED goes on to define the requirements of Qard, of which the key ones

are as follows:

“Any-predetermined additional in the form of cash, kind or benefit

over and above the principal Qard amount, either imposed by the

lender or promised by the borrower, is deemed riba.”

This implies that there should be no promise of a profit or return on

Wadiah deposits, which may otherwise be construed as riba (interest).

Technically, this implies that banks cannot offer a predetermined

profit rate on Wadiah deposits.

“Incentives promised to a lender to enter into a Qard contract with a

borrower may result in implicit benefit to the lender, which is

tantamount to riba.”

We take this to mean that banks will not be allowed to do marketing

or promotional campaigns to promote their Wadiah products.

March 18, 2014 8

Malaysian Banks

“The borrower may give hibah, either in monetary or non-monetary

form, to the lender at its own discretion provided that it is not pre-

conditional at the time of entering into the Qard contract and that

such practice does not become a customary practice (urf)….the

practice of giving hibah is considered as customary if the hibah is given

to the majority of borrower’s lenders.”

By definition, a “hibah” is essentially a gift at the discretion of the

bank to the depositor who has placed his funds with the bank for

safekeeping. If this gift is given to the majority, or all, of the

depositors, it could be construed as riba.

Several issues

The adherence to the refined definition of hibah may limit the banks’

ability to offer a return to depositors and they cannot advertise the profit

rates on their Wadiah accounts. Depositors, as such, cannot be assured of a

recurrent profit on their deposits.

Banks will be restricted in their ability to run marketing activities or offer

promotional products to attract new Wadiah depositors. This could place

the Islamic banks at a disadvantage to conventional banks in terms of

deposit gathering activity.

We think the implications of the above are that it is:

Possible to still convert Mudarabah current accounts to Wadiah

current accounts. We think it would still be possible to convert

Mudarabah current accounts, especially those used for transactional

purposes such as cash management, to Wadiah accounts, since there is

typically no expectation of a return on such deposits.

Tougher for savings accounts and term deposit accounts. Converting

savings accounts and term deposit accounts from Mudarabah to Wadiah

could be difficult, given that there is typically the expectation of some

return on such accounts.

Option 2b: To apply an alternative Islamic principle –

Commodity Murabahah

The alternative to Wadiah would be the Commodity Murabahah principle,

whereby the customer purchases an asset from the vendor on a cost-plus

mark-up basis, and the mark-up or profit margin has to be agreed upfront.

In this case, the asset has to be a commodity.

Most viable alternative at this stage. Having spoken to several industry

players, the conversion of Mudarabah accounts to Commodity Murabahah is

the most viable at this stage.

Where Commodity Murabahah is concerned, it requires the bank to

physically purchase an asset or commodity for on-sell to the depositor on a

cost-plus basis. In Malaysia, the banks use the funds received from

depositors to buy commodities either from the London Metal Exchange

(LME) or from Bursa Malaysia.

March 18, 2014 9

Malaysian Banks

In the case of Bursa Malaysia, it was in August 2009 that it launched its

multi-commodity, multi-currency Bursa Suq Al-Sila (which means

“commodities market” in Arabic), an international commodity platform to

facilitate commodity-based Islamic financing and investment transactions.

This commodity facilitates trading on several commodities, the more

predominant ones being crude palm oil and plastic resin (PE).

Commodities on Bursa Suq Al-Sila can purchased/sold throughout the day

in cycles of 2-3 hours each, during which time the price is fixed, to cap

fluctuations in commodity prices. We understand that LME is a cheaper

alternative as trading can also be done on-line.

The downside to Commodity Murabahah is that it is a slightly more

expensive alternative to Mudarabah because a transaction fee of MYR15 is

levied on every MYR1m transaction on both the buy and sell side. This as

such, increases the operating costs to a bank that decides to pursue this

route. This transaction fee will be treated as an operating expense.

Moving away from Bai’ ‘Inah financing as well

Turning our attention away from deposits to financing, Bank Negara has

also issued an ED on Bai’ ‘Inah, which is one of several Islamic principles

applied to financing activity such as credit card or personal financing.

According to the Islamic Banking & Finance Institute Malaysia:

Bai’ ‘Inah is a financing facility involving two separate contracts. In the

first contract a financier sells an asset to a customer on deferred

payment terms. Immediately after, the financier repurchases the same

asset from the customer on cash terms at a price lower than that of

the deferred payment sale.

It can also be applied vice versa where a financier buys an asset from a

customer on cash terms. Immediately after, the financier sells back

the same asset to the customer on deferred payment terms at a price

higher than that of the cash sale

The issue of inter-conditionality or the lack thereof

The complication arises in that the ED prescribes that “neither contracting

party in the Bai’ ‘Inah arrangement must provide either a written or verbal

promise to repurchase or resell the asset.”

In short, there can no longer be an inter-conditionality that if a bank sells

the asset to the customer, that the customer MUST sell the asset back to

the bank. This creates an issue over asset ownership for banks.

Likely to move to Commodity Murabahah as well

The options here would be to either (i) adhere to the new guideline with

additional safeguards in place or (ii) shift to Commodity Murabahah as well

for such transactions. From our discussion with the banks, the latter seems

to be the more preferred choice at this stage.

March 18, 2014 10

Malaysian Banks

What are banks likely to do?

From our enquiries, most banks are still in discussion with Bank Negara and

have been fairly reluctant to divulge the route that they plan to take just

yet. It is our view that:

For Bai’ ‘Inah financing, the deadline for compliance was end-Dec 2013

and banks would either have (i) complied with the stricter

requirements of the new regulation or (ii) stopped providing Bai’ ‘Inah

financing already. We expect the banks to start offering Commodity

Murabahah financing as an alternative instead.

For Mudarabah term deposits, it is most likely that banks will covert

these to Commodity Murabahah deposits.

For Wadiah current accounts, we think that maintaining status quo

would be the cheaper option. Arguably, hibah, if any, is only offered to

corporate clients and not so much to retail clients so it is on a

selective basis already.

For Mudarabah current accounts, conversion to Wadiah could be a

possibility. The alternative would be to leave these as Mudarabah

investment accounts. There will, however, be more administrative

work involved.

For Mudarabah and Wadiah savings deposits, we think it is likely that

these may be converted to Commodity Murabahah deposits as well.

The alternative would be to reclassify these as investment accounts.

What are the overall implications to a bank?

The implementation of the new guidelines will have several implications to

Islamic banks:

Balance sheets could reduce marginally in size

If Mudarabah/wakalah accounts are taken off-balance sheet, banks’ asset

size would contract. Mudarabah/wakalah accounts make up about 43% of

total assets of the Islamic banks. HOWEVER, as we have discussed on page

5, the impact is likely very marginal if only restricted investment accounts

(RIA) are taken off-balance sheet, for these make up a much smaller

proportion of deposits (negligible at this stage).

Additional operating costs

Additional operating costs could take several forms:

(i) If Mudarabah accounts are converted to investment accounts,

there is the cost of issuing investment prospectuses and preparing

regular updates on the performance of the assets.

(ii) If Commodity Murabahah is the preferred route, there is the

transaction cost of MYR15 that has to be incurred for every MYR1m

transaction.

(iii) IT systems may have to be upgraded to ensure the proper tagging

of assets to liabilities, and additional personnel may have to be

employed to cope with the increase in transactional activity.

Potential opportunity costs?

Given that much is still preliminary, it is unclear as to how retail customers

in particular would react to the conversion of their Mudarabah deposit

accounts to investment accounts, particularly with the knowledge that the

latter may not carry a PIDM guarantee.

As for Wadiah accounts, the restrictions on promotional activity and rate

advertising may place Islamic banks at a disadvantage to conventional

banks especially in terms of their CASA gathering efforts.

That Malaysia runs a parallel banking system does mean that Islamic banks

would have to compete even more aggressively with the conventional

banks for funds.

An attempt at quantifying the cost

In attempting to quantify the cost of compliance to a bank, we have to

stress upfront that this is purely a theoretical exercise with standard

parameters applied across all banks.

In reality, the actual overall impact will very much depend on factors such

as (i) the compliance route a bank decides to take, and (ii) the frequency

of churn on the individual deposit accounts.

Our primary assumptions Our primary assumptions include the following:

Current accounts remain status quo, either as Wadiah or Mudarabah;

Mudarabah and non-Mudarabah savings accounts are converted to

Commodity Mudarabah and are churned every two days

Mudarabah and wakalah term deposits are converted to Commodity

Murabahah and are churned every month

Bai’ ’ínah accounts are replaced with Commodity Murabahah accounts

Commodity Murabahah accounts incur a total fee of MYR30 per MYR1m

transaction for both purchase and sale.

Key observations – minimal financial impact

As it stands, we do think that the churn rates that we have applied are

fairly stringent and that the actual impact could be less than we have

computed. Nevertheless, some observations would be that:

The estimated transaction costs average about 5% of pretax profit for

the Islamic banks, ranging from 2% for CIMB Islamic Bank to potentially

9% for Hong Leong Islamic Bank.

The impact to the group earnings of these financial institutions,

however, is very negligible, overshadowed in large part by the sizeable

contributions of their respective conventional banks. Public Islamic

Bank, for instance, accounted for just 9% of Public Bank group’s pretax

profit in FY13, while Maybank Islamic Bank accounted for 17% of

Maybank group’s pretax profit. The impact of higher transaction costs

to group earnings is thus very negligible at less than 1% for all banking

groups.

The exception, unsurprisingly, is Bank Islam, whose pretax profit in

FY13 accounted for 81% of BIMB Holdings’ earnings, given that it is one

of only two standalone Islamic banks in the country (the other being

Bank Muamalat). Syarikat Takaful accounts for the remaining portion

of BIMB Holdings’ earnings. The impact of higher transaction costs to

BIMB’s group earnings is thus estimated to be a larger, but still very

manageable 4%, of group pretax profit.

Timeline for implementation

The deadline for compliance with the new framework for Mudarabah

accounts depends on whether banks intend to (i) comply with the new

Investment Account framework, or (ii) opt for alternative products eg

Commodity Murabahah.

If the intention is to comply with the new Investment Account framework,

banks will be allowed to continue booking Mudarabah deposits until June

2015 and will only need to reclassify these as investments after June 2015.

If banks are looking to apply alternative Islamic principle treatment, eg

Commodity Murabahah, Mudarabah deposits must be reclassified as

investments after June 2014. The alternative deposit product must be

made available to the public by April 1, 2014 for term deposits or July 1,

2014 for CASA.
