Globalization which started to improve since 1980’s, has caused many beneficial and harmful effects and unexpected changes both in the world economy and in economical structures of countries. Globalization affected not only economical structures but also social life, politics, and even cultures. On the other hand, while globalization was presenting “opportunities” to emerging countries, it also brought heavy risks and severe problems to them. Parallel to those improvements, globalization gave rise to international capital inflows. Emerging countries which have poor economical conditions, found international capital as “life ring” since the capital was their greatest problem for the development of their economies. Unfortunately, in a short time, the dream turned into a “nightmare” and finally financial crises came true back to back and they spread all over the world with the domino effect. In this article, relationship between the globalization, international capital inflows and the financial crises which increased a lot parallel to improvement of globalization will be discussed. Beside the destructive effects of financial crises on economies, some financial policies to protect from the crises will be suggested.

Financial intermediation is the core of the banking business, as its role is to mediate between the owners of surplus funds and those in need of finance, sharing the generated profit with the funds' owners. However, financial intermediation does involve some economic risks in terms of concentration of debt in financial institutions and the possibility of the inability of financed clients to repay their debts. When this happens, financial crises are inevitable, as it occurred in 2008. Islamic finance does not differ in this regard from its traditional counterparts, because the concentration of debts also holds on the concept of Islamic institutional finance, and the possibility of collective default is possible as well. The study treats the issue of financial intermediation and its risks from Maqasidi aspect using home finance as a point of comparison between conventional home finance with Islamic home finance in terms of their economic effects. The study eventually proposes a model for home financing that is free of these cautions.

The aim of this paper is to examine the sterilization policy in China. First, several indices are used to measure the status of China’s markets and to determine effectiveness and sustainability of the sterilization policy and the possible impacts it may have induced. Second, within a microeconomic framework, we incorporate the housing price variable into the target loss function of the monetary authority to explore its financial capabilities and evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of China’s sterilization policy. The empirical results show that Chinese monetary authorities sterilize almost all of the effects of international capital inflows and increase foreign exchange reserves on the monetary base. That is, increased capital mobility does not sabotage the independence of the Chinese monetary policy. Nevertheless, analyses of the sustainability of sterilization policy indicate that the sustainability of the monetary sterilization policy has been seriously challenged since March 2008, which suggests that Chinese monetary authority has endured tremendous pressure for unsustainable sterilization.
