CA-3.3.4

In certain cases the bank may enter into a back-to-back contract (Parallel Salam) to sell a commodity with the same specification as the purchased commodity under a Salam contract to a party other than the original seller. The Parallel Salam allows the bank to sell the commodity for future delivery at a predetermined price (thus hedging the price risk on the original Salam contract) and protects the bank from having to take delivery of the commodity and warehousing it.
