As far as financial institutions are concerned, to improve liquidity, they have several Shariah investment products to be sold across the customers. Islamic banks do not give cash loans but they finance the assets required for invest and in turn sell them to the investor. For corporation perspectives, short-term liquidity can be improved using Morabaha facility (generally used to meet day to day cash flow needs). For long-term liquidity, Sukuk can be issued for BMR or expansion purposes. Sukuk as the Islamic alternative to bond (conventional product) is rapidly and steadily gaining ground across the countries especially in Sub-continent, Middle East, and African countries.

The profit and loss sharing principles namely Mudarabah and Musharakah partnership could provide a natural source of liquidity internally while money market can be used as secondary liquidity options for Islamic bank. However, the former were more stable against sudden shock during financial crisis.
