abrahamarkkinakorot

Abrahamarkkinakorot refers to interest rates applied to loans or investments within the Abrahamic financial framework. This concept generally stems from Islamic finance, which prohibits the charging or receiving of interest (riba). Instead, Islamic finance operates on principles of profit-sharing, risk-sharing, and asset-backed transactions. Therefore, "abrahamarkkinakorot" in this context would describe mechanisms that achieve similar economic outcomes to interest but through Sharia-compliant methods. These methods often involve leasing, profit and loss sharing agreements, or mark-up sales. For instance, instead of a conventional loan with interest, an Islamic bank might purchase an asset and then sell it to the customer at a higher price, payable over time. This profit margin is akin to interest but is derived from a sale rather than a loan. Similarly, in investment, funds are pooled and used in Sharia-compliant businesses, with profits and losses shared between the investor and the business operator. The term itself is not widely used in mainstream financial discourse and appears to be a portmanteau, possibly combining "Abrahamic" with "market rates."
