14 - Will be writing again

Salam

I must apoligize for not able to update this blog since late last year. For past months I've been busy sorting-up my retirement plan and also have been travelling overseas (month than a month) since early March and only back to KL recently. Insha'Allah, I will be writing again hereon.

Instead of writing according to my earlier proposed contents (Article 4 i.e. starting with deposit products and then financing) ......I would like to touch on latest financing product in the market instead i.e. Diminishing Musharakah (DM). It's a very interesting product but some banks are offering this product akin to debt financing. Infact, if we examine carefully, DM can be more expensive than the normal fixed rate debt financing products. Although I totally support the introduction of DM (its high time..... as we have been offering debt financing since 1983), I think it can be structured more akin to real musharakah. We shall examine this in my next article.
