www.investor.co.id - JAKARTA - Indonesia's Islamic financial industry can go fast if it gets government support. With
its potential, the Islamic financial industry in the country can shift
the Islamic industry in Iran, Malaysia and other countries in the Middle
East. Until the first half of 2012, total assets of Islamic financial industry nationwide reach Rp 285 trillion.
This
is expressed by the Executive Director of Islamic Banking Bank
Indonesia (BI) Eddy Setiadi and Chairman of the Board of the National
Islamic Council of Ulama Indonesia (DSN-MUI) KH Ma'ruf Amin when
delivering a speech at the conferment ceremony Investor magazine Best
Syariah 2012 in Jakarta, Wednesday (8 / 8). (source)
Setiadi
Edy explained, the role of government in countries Middle East and
Malaysia in promoting Islamic finance industry is dominant. Support
is provided in its entirety, whether in the form of regulation,
issuance of sukuk to finance, as well as placement of funds in the
Islamic financial institutions.
According
to him, although still behind compared to Malaysia and the countries of
the Middle East region, the growth of Islamic financial industry in the
country is still quite good. "We should be proud that Islamic finance industry in Indonesia at this time could go faster to catch it," he said.
Ma'ruf
Amin said the Financial Services Authority (OJK) should have policies
that can spur the growth of Islamic finance industry. "That way, the Islamic financial industry can grow and compete in a healthy and fair," he said.
Industri Keuangan Syariah Butuh Dukungan Pemerintah
JAKARTA – Industri keuangan syariah
di Indonesia bisa melaju kencang jika mendapat dukungan pemerintah.
Dengan potensi yang dimilikinya, industri keuangan syariah di Tanah Air
bisa menggeser industri syariah di Iran, Malaysia, dan negara-negara
lain di Timur Tengah. Hingga semester I-2012, total aset industri
keuangan syariah nasional mencapai Rp 285 triliun.
Hal itu
diungkapkan Direktur Eksekutif Perbankan Syariah Bank Indonesia (BI) Edy
Setiadi dan Ketua Dewan Syariah Nasional Majelis Ulama Indonesia
(DSN-MUI) KH Ma’ruf Amin saat menyampaikan pidato pada acara
penganugerahan Best Syariah 2012 majalah Investor di Jakarta, Rabu
(8/8).
Edy Setiadi menjelaskan, peran pemerintah di
negara-negara kawasan Timur Tengah maupun Malaysia dalam mendorong
industri keuangan syariah sangat dominan. Dukungan diberikan secara
total, baik dalam bentuk regulasi, penerbitan sukuk untuk pembiayaan,
maupun penempatan dana pada institusi keuangan syariah.
Menurut
dia, meskipun masih ketinggalan dibandingkan Malaysia maupun
negara-negara kawasan Timur Tengah, pertumbuhan industri keuangan
syariah di Tanah Air masih cukup baik. “Kita perlu bangga bahwa industri
keuangan syariah di Indonesia saat ini bisa melaju kencang untuk
mengejar ketertinggalan tersebut,” kata dia.
Ma’ruf Amin
mengatakan, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) harus memiliki kebijakan yang
bisa memacu pertumbuhan industri keuangan syariah. “Dengan begitu,
industri keuangan syariah bisa tumbuh serta berkompetisi secara sehat
dan adil,” ujar dia.
