In November 2015, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) decided to add Islamic finance to its monitoring of financial sectors around the world. The IMF traditionally has focused on conventional banking but recently it has become interested in Islamic banking and finance due to its phenomenal growth. Islamic banking assets exceed $2 trillion globally. This decision of the IMF has brought tremendous opportunity for Islamic banking constituents all over the world. However, many practitioners and supervisory authorities may not be aware of the fundamental differences between Islamic and conventional banking. This paper attempts to identify the major differences between the Conventional and Islamic Banking, and discuss the challenges of integrating Islamic banking and finance into the global financial markets.

The main goals and directions of the activities of key international financial institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, are specified. It is noted that in the context of globalization their role and significance grows, because they are supranational regulators that affect financial security of both the individual countries of the world and security of the world financial market as a whole.

Main Factors

Russian economy has reached the low level of inflation, but economic growth has not accelerated. Moreover, according to official forecasts, in the following years it will still be low. The article concludes that domestic demand, which is one of the main factors of growth, is significantly constrained by monetary, budgetary and fiscal spheres. The situation in the Russian economy is still hampered by the decline of the world economic growth. The prospects of financial markets are highly uncertain. This increases the possibility of crisis in the world. Leading countries widely use non-traditional measures to support their economies in the similar environment. In the world economy as well as in Russia a principally new combination of factors has emerged, which create specific features of economic growth. It requires special set of measures to stimulate such growth. The article proves that Russian regulators have large unused potential to stimulate growth. It includes monetization, long-money creation, budget and tax stimuli. It is important that the instruments, which will be used, should be based on domestic mechanisms. This will strengthen financial basis of the economy and may encourage economic growth. Some specific suggestions as to their use are made.

Adjustment Programs

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently published a pamphlet on the question of whether the IMF, as an institution, imposes austerity on debtors. The response focused on the second half of the question and argued that IMF adjustment programs were, in fact, not systematically austere. However, from a political perspective, the first half of the question is much more provocative. Does the IMF “impose” its will on member states, and, if so, how? Many have argued i that, by virtue of its political connections with the financial centers of the world and its intellectual sophistication, the so-called “negotiations” which debtor nations conduct with Fund staff, prior to the drafting of an agreement on lending conditions, is little more than an exercise in coercion on the part of the Fund.
