Abstract

Purpose – Despite its potential advantages, poverty interferes with economic progress in developing countries, obstructing small and medium-sized businesses from obtaining external financial assistance via Islamic microfinance. This study explores the problems related to asymmetric information in the context of funding microbusinesses in Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT), with the goal of improving our understanding of the risks associated with financing in Islamic microfinance institutions, namely BMTs.Methodology – This research utilized a qualitative approach and content analysis to study BMTs in Indonesia, involving academics, practitioners, and voluntary participants. The sample size was adequate for achieving data saturation.Finding – This study demonstrates that there might be asymmetric information during the execution of contracts, leading to deviant behavior by BMT management and partners. The study additionally identified the risk characteristics present in Islamic MFIs, emphasizing the necessity for implementing novel lending mechanisms, such as group lending and individual collateralized loans. Implication – This study underscores the importance of resolving the substantial administrative overheads associated with these institutions. It is advisable to utilize additional research methods such as interviews, observations, and documentation to augment the depth of the research and engage a varied array of individuals for a comprehensive collection of information.Originality – Studies of Islamic microfinance in Indonesia have examined its performance, obstacles, and experience. However, empirical data on agency problems such as moral hazard and asymmetric knowledge are lacking. For optimal BMT operating efficiency and Shariah compliance, it is essential to comprehend these challenges.

Abstract

Many studies have highlighted a low literacy level of waqf among Muslims all over the world. In Indonesia, an effort to measure the level of waqf literacy using an index was initiated by the Indonesian Waqf Board in 2020. The result has proven that there is a low level of waqf literacy in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the reasons behind the low level of waqf literacy and understand the importance of waqf literacy. Based on a literature survey, the following aspects need to be clearly explained and elaborated to effectively improve waqf literacy among the public. First, the unique characteristics of waqf compared to other Islamic alms; second, waqf literacy is positively related to waqf collection; third, the utilization of waqf can be further enhanced when the literacy is higher; and fourth, disputes and conflicts about waqf ownership are frequently due to lack of waqf literacy. In summary, this study is expected to increase the interest and attention of all stakeholders toward enhancing waqf literacy. Waqf authorities and waqf institutions are encouraged to intensify education and socialization about waqf, while researchers are expected to study more on waqf literacy. To further develop the waqf sector, it is necessary to have a road map to increase waqf literacy. Originality/Value: The study aims to explore the reasons behind the importance of waqf literacy in Indonesia. Identifying these reasons in the Indonesian context could pave the way for tailored interventions and policies to improve waqf literacy, which may have implications for similar contexts elsewhere.

Abstract

The low-income households are perceived to have the right to take debt from excessfinanced group or entitled for some charity. However, this perception has blur their attitude towards charity-giving. Low-income should not consider themselves as 'the taker' in perpetual. They should instil giving behaviour and consider themselves as 'the giver'. Experts from financial education and Islamic finance areas are interviewed. Results from Analytic Network Process suggest that setting specific targeted behaviour is the most priority, with debt-taking focus of interest. Women apparently become the most urgent targeted audience of Islamic finance education. Before executing education program, participant’s belief towards Islamic value should be built. Experts suggest formal education institution be the most preferable place to establish the program, in collaboration with formal financial institutions to conduct the training and support from government budget. Introducing Islamic economics and finance values from the earlier stage of formal education would be suitable for future consideration.

Abstract

India and Indonesia are among the world-largest democracies, having a strong international presence through involvement in various economic and intergovernmental organizations such as in the E7 countries and G20 countries groups. This study aims to identify the impact of macroeconomic variables on the Islamic stock markets of India and Indonesia. Two Islamic stock market indices are considered: the Indian Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Shariah Index and the Indonesian Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). At the same time, the macroeconomic variables are foreign direct investment (FDI), import, export, gross domestic product (GDP), broad money (M3), and exchange rate (ER). The study adopts panel regression analysis on yearly data covering the period from 2011 to 2020. The pooled OLS regression model, fixed effect regression model (FEM), and random effect regression model (REM) have been employed. With the REM model being suggested as the most suitable model through the Hausman test, the results suggest that FDI, export, GDP, and ER have shown positive and statistically significant influence on both the BSE Shariah and JII. It is also shown that the macroeconomic variables of India and Indonesia are heterogeneities in nature and having mean distribution effects. The study's findings suggest that increasing the possibilities of bilateral trade and investment in the sectors such as health and pharmaceuticals, automotive components, information technology, agro products, and tourism between India and Indonesia will go a long way. It is expediting greater economic activities among these two countries.

Abstract

Zakat serves as a significant mechanism for improving Asnaf’s income. Participants in the Islamic financial industry have acknowledged its potential and adopted various fintech strategies, per Bank Negara Malaysia's support for a more proactive collaborative approach to enhance Malaysia's Islamic social finance (ISF) landscape. Statistics and reports about technology adoption among Asnaf are scarce. This study examines how the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) factors affect Asnaf micro entrepreneurs in Malaysia's use of Islamic fintech financing. Following a thorough data screening process, a total of 292 samples is accepted for analysis using a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). Performance expectancy, price value, shariah financial literacy, perceived trust, and consumer pressure all significantly and positively influence the intention to use Islamic fintech financing. Subsequently, adoption is significantly influenced by behavioural intentions and facilitating conditions. This research represents one of the initial investigations into end users' factors influencing the adoption of Islamic fintech among Asnaf micro entrepreneurs, a field that is still nascent.
