This study examines the macroeconomic factors which are affecting to real effective exchange rates (REER) from selected ten countries in Asia. Two panel regression approaches namely fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and fixed effects are applied using panel data over the period 2002–2016. Empirical results show that presence of a significant long-term association amongst the REER and seven macroeconomic determents namely interest rate, inflation, trade balance, terms of trade, trade openness, foreign reserves and share price index and their significance are remaining same in all models applied. However, trade balance has a positive connection with the REER while other significant variables have a negative association with the REER in long run. Moreover, the money supply (M2) and real gross domestic production (GDP) do not show a significant relationship with the REER.

This is a doctrinal research on the Shariah basis of takaful (Islamic Insurance). The research reveals that that takaful has basis in ancient Arabia in the system of “Aqilah” which involves mutual assistance. It can also be traced down in the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) and also his companions. Moreover, a study of the primary sources for Muslims (i.e. the Qur‟an and the Sunnah), indicates that members of the first Islamic community effectively applied systems of cooperative risk sharing, long before the beginning of takaful practices. Additionally, in takaful, contributions (premiums) are paid on donation (tabarru) basis, thus the element of gharar is totally avoided. Again, takaful is based on various transactions accepted by the Shariah. Essentially, the contemporary Islamic scholars mentioned that Mudarabah or wakalah or waqf or a combination of the three models is the most appropriate Islamic contracts which should be employed in managing takaful business. Furthermore, Islam does not prohibit accepting a good opinion from others, if it proves to be beneficial. Moreover, takaful shares same philosophy with insurance which is mutual cooperation between members for the sake of mutual cooperation and protection. The idea has been realized from the understanding of how Allah wants Muslims to cooperate in achieving the Ummah‟s interest. Takaful is an example of how Islamic Shariah can help to improve welfare of the Ummah and create new socioeconomic mechanism based on equity, justice and fair play.
