Background of the Study
Asset securitization in Islamic finance involves pooling financial assets—such as receivables or lease payments—and converting them into tradable securities, while ensuring compliance with Shariah principles. Unlike conventional securitization, Islamic asset securitization must avoid interest (riba) and excessive uncertainty (gharar). Instruments such as Sukuk are prime examples, providing a means to raise capital through asset-backed financing (Al-Hassan, 2023). In recent years, technological innovations and regulatory reforms have spurred interest in enhancing securitization techniques, enabling Islamic financial institutions to improve liquidity and risk distribution. Advanced digital platforms and data analytics have improved asset valuation, transparency, and monitoring, thereby fostering investor confidence (Rahman, 2024). These developments contribute not only to the efficiency of capital markets but also to financial inclusion by allowing smaller investors access to asset-backed instruments. As Islamic finance expands globally, the strategic use of asset securitization techniques is increasingly seen as vital for promoting growth and mitigating risks in volatile economic environments (Ibrahim, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite their potential benefits, Islamic asset securitization techniques face significant challenges. One major issue is the difficulty in accurately valuing underlying assets, particularly in emerging markets where data quality may be poor. Inconsistent valuation methods can lead to mispricing, reducing investor confidence (Al-Hassan, 2023). Moreover, integrating traditional Shariah-compliant securitization models with modern digital technologies often encounters technical barriers and organizational resistance. Regulatory uncertainties further complicate matters; divergent interpretations of Shariah guidelines across jurisdictions can result in inconsistent practices, thereby hindering cross-border investment opportunities (Rahman, 2024). These challenges contribute to a gap between the theoretical advantages of asset securitization and its practical application, ultimately limiting the growth and stability of Islamic finance.
