摘要:In late 2013 I was sitting in Dinar Matahari, an airy cafeteria inside the headquarters of the Malaysian Central Bank (Bank Negara), with Anwar, a senior bank official responsible for regulating Islamic finance in the country. It was late afternoon and the cafeteria was sparsely occupied. Employees had already begun wiping down tables, signaling the end of another workday. Anwar and I had started our conversation by discussing the technical aspects of Islamic finance, focusing on Bank Negara’s plans to develop standard forms for twelve contracts that it had identified as pivotal to the industry and discussing some of the problems around calculating risk in Islamic finance.1
