5. Islamic Insurance: The beginnings are likely to be difficult: "Several constraints could hamper the Takaful at launching, according to the Moroccan Association for Participatory Finance Professionals. The economic model imposed by regulation could induce systematically more expensive premiums compared to conventional insurance. The field of activity and options for allocating resources to new operators should be limited initially. While the regulatory framework for future participatory banks is about to be completed, with the forthcoming finalization of the contracts type governing the funding proposed by these institutions, the eyes are now turning to Takaful insurance. This must necessarily accompany future participatory financing, and the fact is that it is far from being as well advanced."
