Dr. Dimas Bagus Wiranatukusma

Why Risk Management

The role of risk management becomes important in the midst of global uncertainty. The vulnerability exists as a response of such uncertain condition. Eventually, regulators around the world increasingly realize that sound risk management practices are vital. Risk management technically enables not only for individual banks, but also financial system as a whole.

Why Islamic and Conventional Banks

Some countries implement dual banking systems where conventional hand in hand with Islamic bank. However, due to different paradigms in their both operations, the way on managing risk could differ. Moreover, althought Islamic banks are accounted for a small portion, but its role is increasingly important and attract diverse background to be involved due to its unique characteristics and upholds Islamic principles.

International banking standard

Banking sector is considered as complex financial institution and needs to be strictly regulated. Thus, some international standards, either for conventional or Islamic banks are taken into account. Basel 1,2,3 are some of existing examples at international level which have been implemented by banking system around the world. In addition, IFSB and AAOFI are of international setting bodies with giving special focus on Islamic financial institution in accordance with its international practices standard.

Policy Perspective

Complexity in the financial system encourages policy makers to develop prudential regulations covering financial institution and macro envirounment where financial institutions in it. Currently, policy makers have been promoting micro and macroprudential policies to mitigate systemic risk occuring in the financial system. In brief, those prudential regulations basically attempt to provide a prudent and sound risk management under micro and macro levels and connected primarily with the banking sector.
