| Abstract: | This study aims to analyze the concepts and practices of Musharakah Mutanakisah (MM) by Islamic banks. The findings revealed that the MM is a hybrid contract that combines three independent contracts namely: partnership, leasing and sale. MM could be used it for financing asset acquisition as well as for other types of partnership. Hence, MM has been successfully implemented by Islamic banks in Islamic and non-Islamic countries for house financing. |

| Abstract: | Reviewing the actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) represent a divine order should be followed, even though it has a devotional and transaction reflection in Muslim's life. His actions (PBUH) do not represent a novel, but a method that should be followed and learned. Muslims during their migration to Medina faced a lot of crises, Prophet (PBUH) realized it and turned them into an opportunity, so the paper tries to follow the strategies, which the Prophet (PBUH) used to solve the crisis The goals of the research are determining the characteristics of the economic and social crisis of migrants, explaining the crisis management strategies exercised by the Prophet (PBUH) to address the crisis and the place of these strategies in crisis management theory today.

| Abstract: | This study assesses financial determinants of informal financial sector development in 48 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period 1995-2017. Quantile regressions are used as the empirical strategy which enables the study to assess the determinants throughout the conditional distribution of informal sector development dynamics. The following financial determinants affect informal financial development and financial informalization differently in terms of magnitude and sign: bank overhead costs; net internet margin; bank concentration; return on equity; bank cost to income ratio; financial stability; loans from non-resident banks; offshore bank deposits and remittances. The determinants are presented from a plethora of perspectives, inter alia: U-Shape, S-Shape and positive or negative thresholds. The study not only provides a practical way by which to assess the incidence of financial determinants on informal financial sector development, but also provides financial instruments by which informal financial development can be curbed. |

| Abstract: | This chapter examines how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected financial development and financial inclusion in African countries. The study provides both broad perspectives and country-specific frameworks based on selected country cases studies. Some emphasis is placed on the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) that are related to financial inclusion. The study aims to understand what immediate challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has represented to the economies and societies on the one hand and on the other, the effect of the COVID-19 on the interconnected financial systems in terms of consequences of the pandemic. The relevance of the study builds on the importance of these insights in helping both scholars and policy makers understand how the effect of the pandemic on the financial system and by extension, the global economy can be mitigated for more financial inclusion. |

| Abstract: | This paper documents a strong connection between payment system and credit supply. The dual role of deposits as financing instruments for banks and means of payment for bank customers implies spillover effects of bank lending. After a bank finances loans with new deposits, the deposit holders' payments cause reserves and deposits to flow from the lending bank to the payees' banks. The change in liquidity conditions for both banks and their customers gives rise to two opposing forces that generate respectively strategic complementarity and strategic substitution in banks' lending decisions. We model bank lending through a linear-quadratic game on a random graph of payment flows and structurally estimate the spillover effects using Fedwire data to quantify the probability distribution of payment-flow network. Payment network externalities reduce the average level of aggregate credit supply by 9% while amplify the volatility by 20%. We identify a small subset of banks that have a disproportionately large influence on credit supply due to their special positions in the payment-flow network. |
