Islamic banks currently use the same interbank offered rate in pricing their products. By and large, they provide debt based financing rather than equity based modes of financing. Thus, the promise of egalitarian distribution and inclusivity remains unrealized in practice at the moment. From a more pragmatic view to achieve the promise of Islamic economics, it is important to transform the way Islamic banking and finance is conducted in the contemporary monetary system. One way to achieve that is to link the payoffs to the saving deficient and saving surplus units through real sector economic payoffs. This article gives a review of literature on this issue and the next section presents an alternate proposal to achieve the aim of having a distinct system of financial intermediation which is less reliant on debt based financing and which is closely aligned with the real sector of the economy.
