Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of macroeconomic variables—namely inflation, the BI rate, and the exchange rate—on murabahah financing at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), both in the short and long term. Method: Employing the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the study analyzes time-series data to assess long-run equilibrium and short-term dynamics. Results: The findings reveal that in the long term, inflation and the BI rate negatively affect murabahah financing, while the exchange rate exerts a positive influence. In contrast, none of the variables show significant short-term effects. The Granger causality test identifies bidirectional relationships between the BI rate and both financing and inflation. Variance Decomposition shows that while financing is initially self-driven, over time inflation emerges as the most influential factor, accounting for 16.74% of variation in murabahah financing. Implication: These results suggest that Bank Syariah Indonesia should develop adaptive financing strategies in response to macroeconomic fluctuations, particularly inflation. Originality: This study contributes to Islamic finance literature by applying a dynamic econometric framework (VECM) to murabahah financing, and by offering empirical evidence from the post-merger period of Indonesia's largest Islamic bank.

Abstract

Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country with relatively low economic growth. Therefore, the success of monetary policy does not only depend on conventional instruments, but also on Islamic instruments. Islamic monetary policy instruments tend to be more related to real activities and real assets. So that increasing public awareness of Islamic principles will cause the effectiveness of Islamic monetary instruments to become stronger, which will also be followed by increased economic growth. This research aims to determine the effect of PUAS, FASBIS, and SBIS on GDP using secondary data in the form of monthly time series from 2018-2022. Data was collected using the Purposive Sampling technique, with the Quantitative Associative method. The data was processed using Eviews 9 and then analyzed using the VAR VECM method to see the long-term and short-term effects of PUAS, FASBIS, and SBIS on GDP. The results show that there is a two-way causal relationship between PUAS and FASBIS, FASBIS and GDP, SBIS and PUAS, as well as a one-way relationship between GDP and SBIS. There is a significant relationship between SATISFIED and GDP, in the long term. Meanwhile, in the short term, all variables do not have a significant effect on GDP. In the long term, the variable that is strong and dominant in influencing GDP is PUAS and has the largest composition that contributes to the GDP variable. This research provides practical and theoretical implications to increase scientific insight in the field of economics and references in making policy decisions to improve technological infrastructure and regulations that support the development of Sharia financial markets.

Abstract

Introduction: Islamic entrepreneurial behavior views business activities not merely as a means of profit, but as an implementation of the values ​​of monotheism, trustworthiness, justice, and welfare. However, student entrepreneurial interest remains relatively low, while Islamic financial literacy and social environmental influences are suspected to be important factors in shaping Islamic value-based business behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic financial literacy and peer influence on Islamic entrepreneurial behavior among students at UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Methods: The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method on 100 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression using SPSS 22. Instrument tests, classical assumptions, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficients of determination were used to test the hypotheses. Results: The results show that Islamic financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on Islamic entrepreneurial behavior (t = 10.637; p < 0.05). Conversely, peer influence has no significant partial effect (t = 0.134; p > 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect (F = 57.252; p < 0.05) with an explanatory contribution of 54.1%. Conclusion and suggestion: Sharia financial literacy is a primary factor in shaping Islamic entrepreneurial behavior, while peer influence is supportive. Strengthening the entrepreneurship curriculum based on the principles of sharia, training in Islamic financial literacy, and developing students' spiritual character are recommended to foster ethical, independent, and blessing-oriented entrepreneurs.

Abstract

Economic growth is a key indicator of regional economic performance, yet it remains vulnerable to macroeconomic fluctuations caused by inflation, financial intermediation, and labor market conditions. This study aims to analyze the short-run and long-run effects of inflation, Islamic bank financing, and the unemployment rate on economic growth in Medan City. A quantitative research approach was employed using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) with 40 quarterly secondary data observations covering the period from 2016 to 2025. The Granger causality test identified a unidirectional relationship from economic growth to the unemployment rate and from inflation to Islamic bank financing. The long-run VECM estimation revealed that inflation has a significant negative effect on economic growth, whereas in the short run it exerts a significant positive effect due to moderate demand-pull inflation. Islamic bank financing and the unemployment rate showed no significant partial effects in either the short run or the long run. The Impulse Response Function indicated that inflation shocks initially generated negative responses before converging toward equilibrium, while unemployment shocks produced gradually diminishing positive responses. Variance Decomposition confirmed that economic growth is primarily explained by its own innovations, with unemployment contributing the largest external shock. These findings imply that maintaining price stability and strengthening the informal labor sector are essential for enhancing the long-term macroeconomic resilience of Medan City.
