Scope of Work
The knowledge product should reflect on the experience from Indonesia’s global and retail green sukuk initiatives (including key successes and lessons learned), which will:
- Provide an overview on the approach of green sukuk issuance, including the regulatory/ policy basis, mechanisms and framework - use of proceeds, project evaluation and selection process, management of proceeds, and impact reporting;
- To develop a platform that will serve as a basis to encourage participation from Islamic finance sector in leading UN initiatives, such as principles for responsible investment, principles for responsible banking, and principles for sustainable insurance that support financial institutions to align with the SDGs and the achievement of NDCs;
- To develop a model that showcases the ability of green sukuk as a form of Islamic financial instrument to help bridge the gap between conventional and Islamic financial worlds;
- Present the method to align the SDGs, including climate action, with the Tayyib (wholesome) concept - which contends that the focus of Islamic finance products and services should be on the evaluation of wider societal impact rather than overly legalistic analysis of Shariah compliance;
- Serve as a thought piece which would highlight the opportunities for Islamic finance to tap into emerging agnostic global liquidity pools seeking SDG-aligned products and increase tactical alignment with development bank funders;
- Provide recommendations to push forward Islamic alternative to conventional finance, contribute to the achievement of mid- to-long term price stability, and support larger-scale strategic planning and sustainable development.
The consultant is expected to use appropriate methodologies, including:
- Desk review to identify and elaborate the factors/ aspects that distinguish Islamic and conventional finance (including their instruments, i.e. bonds). Such method may also be leveraged to review the scope and features of green sukuk in particular, various approaches to its issuance, its trends and areas of growth, as well as the relative cost and benefit on the uptake;
- An online Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews with identified key stakeholders (e.g. the government, corporates, financial institutions) to identify opportunities and challenges of green sukuk issuance that have been and can be further leveraged/ addressed to support the government within its commitment to achieve its climate ambition as well as SDGs. These methods may also be useful to analyze the current and future potential for Islamic financing (i.e. green sukuk), identify its enabling factors and barriers, as well as the trends and areas of growth, including in the context of COVID-19 economic recovery;
- Review and assessment to identify the potential risks and challenges that may be encountered in the development of the knowledge product. This includes providing detailed analysis and recommended mitigation tactics to overcome such challenges;
- Other relevant/ appropriate methodologies.
The approach to the assignment may be a data driven approach and performed using statistical evidence and inference.
