ISLAMIC BANKING’S ROLE IN CONTROLLING INFLATION
ABSTRACT
Inflation has become a fact of life in nearly all countries, but it is a very serious problem in the developing countries. As far as commercial banking is concerned, it erodes the value of the depositor's savings as well as that of the bank's loans. Yet the banking system does not seem to specifically address this problem. This paper makes an attempt at finding a way of compensating for the loss suffered by capital due to inflation. Identifies the transactions in the commercial banking businesses that are affected by inflation, considers several possible ways of counteracting the adverse effects, and then presents one approach as most suitable for implementation. The

In order to reduce the pressure of inflation, our government via Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is involved in curbing the pressure through a monetary policy such as interest rate control.
Based on the Table 1, let us say before inflation, Ali carries only 7% of interest in his home loan from a conventional bank. However, during inflation, BNM increases BLR from 6.7% to become 7.7%. If the basis point is 30, the interest charged will be 7% and 8% respectively.
On the other hand, Abu can have a peace of mind because the BLR or interest rates increment will not affect his monthly payment because 8% profit rate does not have any relationship to the BLR. Therefore, the monthly payment will be constant at RM700.
ARGUMENT 2: Substitution between the two facilities
In a dual banking framework such as Malaysia, there is potential for substitution for Islamic banking services and conventional banking services. This is because both of the products share the similar features.
The fixed cost is assumed that Larry has discovered the other fixed cost incurred. The total investment is $800,000. The worst case scenario assumes that Larry got a total line of credit from the bank in the amount of $400,000 and invested $400,000 from other source. The Notes payable – short term and the long-term debt is (11.8 + 3.7) = 15.5 % from Table F in the handout. The Loan interest and payment per year is ($400,000 * 0.155)= $62,000. The Income data from Table F indicates that there is a 0.4% of all other expenses net out of the total sales which equals to $109,908 (5,700,666 gallons * $4.82 *0.4%) .
Main competitive pitch of Islamic banking is in Sharia compliant and interest free. But the real business of Islamic banking is producing profit.

Throughout this problem set I will analyze the effects of compound interest. I will start with problem one assessing as to whether or not a Private in my platoon can afford a brand new vehicle. I will develop a discrete dynamical system to calculate the amount of capital left in the loan at any given month. To assess if my discrete dynamical function is accurate I will interpret my model through graphs and make sure the answer is logical. I will find out how much my soldier can afford and any other question asked. If this does not coincide with the amount the actual payment will be I will give him another recommendation.

Peoples had accumulated assets of $556m. These assets were funded by short term consumer deposits, consisting largely of 3-month fixed rate savings certificates. These savings certificates were highly affected by interest rate fluctuations. The long term loans provided to people generate interest earnings which are do not increase or decrease with the interest rate fluctuations. Therefore, there was a mismatch between the interest rates earned by the bank and the interest rates that it had to give

Scenario 2 shows the practice having moderate growth and there is no decrease in the associate fee. Even though the growth rate is 8% and not 17.5%, the company can still repay the loan because the CATO is positive throughout the years. Miller might not be able to repay the loan that fast, like scenario 1, but would be able to repay it in 10 years.
Monetary policy, ‘The government’s policy relating to the money supply, bank interest rates, and borrowing’ (Collin: 130), is another tool available to the government to control inflation. Figure 4 shows, that by increasing the interest rate (r), from r1 to r2, the supply of money (ms) is reduced from Q1
Based on the Time Interest Earned Ratio Landry’s ability to pay interest bills from profit earned decreased. In 2002 Landry’s could pay their interest bill just over 13 times from earnings before interest tax. In 2003 Landry’s ability to pay interest bills was almost cut in-half to 7 times. We think that as a result of the decrease in ability to pay interest bills, creditors could be concerned about these findings.
Interest Expense Rate is continuously increasing from 1992 to onward. It shows that company is paying high financial charges over short term and long term borrowings.

The study of foreign bank entry effect towards domestic banking in Malaysia in term of long term loan is an important tool to evaluate the difference between foreign bank and domestic bank in Malaysia. Other than that, it is also important to determine management planning and strategic analysis. Banks contribute to economic growth, so if the bank performance is outstanding, the overall economy will be strong. There are few studies have discussed the similar topic. Therefore, some of the articles are selected as a references.
