    Development of Liquidity Management Instruments:

    For Islamic financial institutions, liquidity management is more unique due to the fact that most available conventional instruments used for liquidity management are interestbased, therefore, not sharia‟a compatible. It follows, then, that in the absence of shariah compatible instruments, there can only be limited development of the Islamic interbank money market. The money market is an important component of the liquidity management framework as it is the first avenue to place or borrow short term funds. This gives more reason why addressing liquidity management is very critical to Islamic banks since IFI faces bigger challenges due to sharia‟a considerations and the nature of their operations.…

    Foreign Exchange Management at British Airways

    BA consequently has a highly complex foreign exchange position, but it is imperative to the profitability of such a co. that this exposure to foreign exchange rate movements is recognized & managed appropriately. In all cases, risk attributed to foreign exchange rate movements arises out of uncertainty about the future exchange rate between two currencies. The risk would be minimized if it were possible to predict future rate movements. Unfortunately, however, it is not possible to do so with any degree of accuracy, & for a co. to try to do so can be financially dangerous. Therefore, given that foreign exchange rates cannot be predicted, another option might be to pass on to the customer the effects of any adverse movements in exchange rates &, hence, the co. would incur no impact.
