Despite possessing the ingredients, qualification, and the high position in the Islamic world, and despite the great wealth and the domestic demand, still Saudi Arabia is still absent from the competition to be the capital of Islamic banking.

Many have put the blame on Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) and the Ministry of Finance.

Islamic banking is not officially recognized.

Islamic Banking in Saudi Arabia

This may be the reason for this: Lack of initiative of the supervisory authorities, namely the

Ministry of Finance and Monetary Foundation to promote this sector and protect it from deviation and enhance its credibility before the world

Weakness of the credibility of Islamic financing instruments as a result of the similarity of Islamic financing to interest-based financing mechanism.

The lack of uniform legislative committee for Islamic banking to determine the pillars and regulations of the Organization of Islamic banking, as well as determine which products can be classified that are compatible with Islamic banking.

Weak academic interest in Islamic banking and the lack of support for the advancement of related research in Islamic.

Rules and Regulations

Customers must have their salaries transferred electronically to their bank account.

Only government employees and some large companies are given the opportunity to have

individual loans.

Individual Financing.

Financing instrument that enable individual customers to buy joint-stock companies

shares and repay the value of these shares by monthly installments.

This method would allow individual customers to sell the purchased shares instantly

and get the cash money.

process, the objective is getting the cash money.

margin by monthly installments compatible with the customer's monthly salary.

Auto Financing

except:

Markup rate is greater.

Calculation method

All banks apply the simple interest formula to calculate the total amount of loan,

then divide the total amount by the number of months.

Example:

Loan amount is 100000.

Profit margin percentage rate is 2%.

Number of financing years is 5.

The total loan with profit margin is 100000*(1+2%*5)=110000.

Monthly installments equals 110000/60=1833.33
