Abstract
In this paper the author studies Islamic quasi equity (debt) instruments and argues that appropriately constructed instruments can help Islamic financial system to manage significant risks and increase the provision of long-term funds. The author sets three main objectives: 1) to address the issues of balance sheet hedging in Islamic financial institutions; 2) to study the means and mechanisms for increasing liquidity and re-price-ability of Islamic debts by appropriate quasi-debt instruments to strengthen balance sheet hedging; and 3) to initiate a discussion process regarding hedging and risk management from an Islamic economic perspective.
