Listing requirements and continuing obligations—premium listing and standard listing—prior to 29 July 2024

Listing requirements and continuing obligations—premium listing and standard listing—prior to 29 July 2024 A significant restructuring of the UK listing regime came into effect on 29 July 2024 which included the removal of the premium and standard listing segments and the creation of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies.

The UK Listing Rules sourcebook came into force to implement the changes and the Listing Rules sourcebook was revoked.

Commodities murabaha

Commodities murabaha Murabaha agreements may be employed to provide working capital or acquisition financing. A murabaha arrangement entered into for such purposes is known as a commodities murabaha. A transaction known as tawarruq closely resembles the commodities murabaha in function, and the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Technically, however, under Shari’ah the two types of transactions represent distinct contracts with their own elements. Commodities murabaha must meet the requirements for murabaha transactions, which largely focus on the behaviour of the Islamic financial institution (IFI).Tawarruq focuses instead on the Customer. Under tawarruq, a person (the mustawriq) buys an asset for a deferred price with the express purpose of selling the asset for cash to a third party. Although Shari’ah scholars do not universally acknowledge tawarruq as an acceptable transaction, the majority hold that it is permissible provided that it complies with Shari’ah requirements governing sales. In general, the provision of working capital presents one of the most difficult issues in Islamic...
