Abstract

Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) is a microfinance institution operating under Sharia principles, integrating social welfare and commercial finance to promote poverty alleviation and economic empowerment. Despite its potential, BMTs face significant capital challenges that hinder their sustainability and impact. This study explores these challenges using a qualitative methodology with a literature review approach. Six key issues are identified: (1) limited capital from low member savings, (2) inadequate accumulation of social funds, (3) mismatch between available funds and customer needs, (4) reliance on external funding, (5) low business volume, and (6) weak integration between the social (Baitul Maal) and commercial (Baitul Tamwil) functions. These issues restrict BMTs from fully achieving their financial inclusion and social welfare objectives. To address these challenges, the study suggests optimizing low-cost funds, managing cash waqf, strengthening Baitul Maal, collaborating with zakat institutions, and integrating Islamic social finance with commercial operations. Additionally, increasing principal and mandatory savings is recommended to improve capital stability. Resolving these issues is essential for enhancing BMTs' role in poverty alleviation and ensuring their long-term sustainability and effectiveness within the Islamic finance framework.

Abstract

This study assesses the necessity of a Deposit Insurance System (DIS) for Islamic Microfinance Institutions (IMFIs). It first identifies key factors influencing knowledge of DIS among stakeholders and then proceeds to evaluate the social impact of IMFIs and examine the urgency for a DIS and respondents' willingness to pay deposit insurance premiums. Conducting survey using purposive sampling, we obtain required data for the analysis from 405 respondents. Applying the logistic regressions, we find reveal that education, work experience, and financial behaviors influence DIS awareness. The findings underscore the urgency of implementing DIS to bolster stakeholder trust and financial system stability, with respondents expressing willingness to contribute premiums. These insights contribute to designing a Shariah-compliant DIS that aligns with the unique operational characteristics of IMFIs, supports sustainable industrialization, and advances SDG-9 goals. The study highlights actionable pathways for policymakers, regulatory bodies, and IMFI managers to foster a resilient and inclusive financial ecosystem.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the effect of Covid-19 in Indonesia on the value of abnormal returns, trading volume activity, and efficiency of the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), the Indonesian Islamic stock market.Methodology – This study employed the event study model to measure the relationship between important events related to the Indonesian Covid-19 pandemic on stock returns and the stock trading volume of JII indexed companies. Using research analysis techniques in the form of a market-adjusted model, this study determines the period of events before, during, and after the event.Findings – This study found that the global Covid-19 announcement, announcement of the new normal, and announcement of the Covid-19 vaccination gave a significant abnormal return reaction to the JII index and did not provide a significant trading volume activity reaction. Implications – Indonesia's Islamic stock market, which falls into the semi-strong efficient category, responds quickly to important public information such as Covid-19-related announcements. Investors showed high sensitivity to major news, but trading volumes did not change significantly, indicating a cautious adjustment strategy. The different reactions across sectors, especially industry and energy, highlight the need for investor portfolio diversification. It is important for policymakers to provide clear and timely communication to maintain market stability during crises. Further research is required to understand the long-term impact and extend the coverage of international Islamic stock markets.Originality – This study examines several important Covid-19 events that occurred in Indonesia on stock returns and trading volumes in the Indonesian Islamic stock market.
