Blue Sukuk: A Model Proposal and Its Potential

Öz

Blue economy has an important place for both human life and national economies. However, pollution and other problems in the oceans and seas endanger the future of the blue economy. For this reason, article 14 of the Sustainable Development Goals refers to the sustainability of the oceans and seas. Although there are various steps to be taken for sustainability, these steps cannot be effective enough due to limited resources. An innovative tool developed recently against resource constraints is the blue bond. On the other hand, another financial instrument that has started to be emphasized in the literature is the blue sukuk. In this study, hybrid blue sukuk is discussed as a model proposal for blue sukuk and the future issuance potential of blue sukuk is examined using a descriptive analysis. According to the result, hybrid blue sukuk can be used to provide resources for the steps to be taken for sustainability and has a significant export potential in the future periods.

Mavi Sukuk: Bir Model Önerisi ve Potansiyeli

Öz

Mavi ekonomi gerek insan hayatı ve gerekse de ülke ekonomileri için önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ancak okyanus ve denizlerde ortaya çıkan kirlilik ve diğer problemler mavi ekonominin geleceğini tehlikeye atmaktadır. Bu nedenle Sürdürülebilir Kalnma Hederleri’nin 14’üncü maddesi okyanus ve denizlerin sürdürülebilirliğine değinmektedir. Sürdürülebilirlik için atılacak çeşitli adımlar olmasına karşın, söz konusu adımlar kısıtlı kaynaklar nedeniyle yeterince etkili olamamaktadır. Kaynak kısıtına karşı son dönemde geliştirilen inovatif bir araç mavi tahvildir. Diğer yandan literatürde üzerinde durulmaya başlanan diğer bir finansal araç ise mavi sukuktur. Bu çalışmada betimsel bir analiz kullanılarak mavi sukuka ilişkin bir model önerisi şeklinde hibrid mavi sukuk ele alınmış ve mavi sukukun gelecekteki ihraç potansiyeli incelenmiştir. Sonuca göre hibrid sürdürülebilirlik için atılacak adımlara kaynak sağlamak üzere kullanılabilecek olup gelecek dönemlerde önemli derecede ihraç potansiyeli barındırmaktadır.
