The central bank said the standards marked an important milestone and was part of its continuous efforts to enhance the Shariah and regulatory framework in Malaysia.

The standards would serve as guidelines for Islamic financial institutions in developing Islamic financial products and services based on Mudarabah, it said in a statement.

Bank Negara said the Standards aimed to provide a standard on the features of mudarabah contracts applicable in Islamic financial transactions.

It said the standards also outlined the mandatory and optional features applicable to the mudarabah contract under which Islamic financial institutions would be required to observe such requirements in developing Islamic financial products and services.

The standards are the second in the series of Shariah Standards (formerly known as Shariah Parameters).
