چکیده:
In this paper, an attempt is made to first review the current literature on modus operandi of open market policies in modern Central Banking system and then investigate them comparatively in context to Islamic banking criteria in toto. Besides, we tried to evaluate the efficiency of different kinds of Sukuk as substitutes for orthodox apparatus of monetary policy, ipso facto. The methodology which is utilized in this research, is based on the analytical-descriptive approach de jure. However, the main findings indicate prima facie that, although using the conventional tools of open market operations are prohibited for the Central Bank of Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI), due to observing the Usury Free Banking Law, but it is quiet feasible to employ various sorts of Sukuk as substitutes for government bonds, quid pro qua. In this context, the first and foremost choice is that the government will issue the Sukuk in primary market for financing its requirements and the Central Bank could be engaged in secondary market of securities for conducting its monetary policy de facto. Similarly, some other genre of Sukuk which can be used in these markets are as follows: Islamic Treasury Sukuk, Government Murabaha Sukuk, Government Ijarah Sukuk, which includes Hire-purchase Sukuk and Government Istisna Sukuk. Though, it is worth to note that in the short run, due to non deepening of market in Iran, there is no any scope to utilize the government Sukuk for open market operations, so, we can submit that, for the transitory period, CBI, could issue the Islamic Treasury Sukuk (Bai Al Dain) and Ijarah Sukuk to be substitute or act as complementary for its participation papers. Thus, we conclude that, using the varieties of Sukuk in the mid-term, could lead to development of money and short-term debts market in consonance with Sharia laws in Iran, sui generis.
