Key Findings & Observations
- Its main business is conventional banking, lending or insurance (Yahoo industry “Credit Services”), which AAOIFI Shari’ah Standard 21 excludes (3/4/1).Source: Business check
- The interest-bearing debt test couldn’t be settled: Only an upper estimate is available, and it is over the limit. No debt figure was reported, so total liabilities are used as an upper bound.Source: AAOIFI Shari'ah Standard 21
- The prohibited income test couldn’t be settled: Yahoo reports interest income of NOK 2.5B, more than the company’s cash, investments and receivables could earn at 10% (NOK 75.7M), so that figure was set aside. So the income test can’t be settled.Source: AAOIFI Shari'ah Standard 21
