Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of Qard financing, market competition, internal bank factors and macroeconomic conditions on the stability of Islamic rural banks (IRBs) in Indonesia. This study analyzed as many as 123 banks that disbursed Qard financing in the 2015-2023 period using quarterly data. The analysis method used is panel data regression with an unbalanced data panel. This research also categorised IRBs into two groups: large and small. The study's results found that Qard financing has a negative effect on the stability of IRB. However, a large IRB faces a negligible risk compared to a small IRB in terms of distributing Qard financing, which reduces its stability. CAR, FDR and GDP have a positive effect on the stability of BPRS, while Assets, BOPO, NPF and COVID-19 have a negative effect on the stability of BPRS. The findings of this study have both theoretical and practical implications. From a theoretical perspective, although Qard financing reduces stability, it must still be distributed by IRB to achieve the goals of Maqasid Sharia. From a practical point of view, IBR must strengthen its fundamentals, such as capital and efficiency, to strengthen its stability.

Abstract

The financial performance of Islamic banks is strongly influenced by the bank's ability to disburse their funds. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of Islamic bank fundamentals in influencing financing. Islamic bank fundamentals consist of stability, size, profitability, equity, efficiency, and financing risk. This study uses quarterly data to examine 13 Islamic commercial banks from 2014 to 2020. The method used is static panel data regression with unbalanced panel data of 334 observations. The results show that the Z-score, assets, ROA, and NPF have a positive effect on the financing of Islamic commercial banks. Meanwhile, the CAR and income cost ratio has a negative effect on the financing of Islamic commercial banks. Furthermore, the economic slowdown because of Covid-19 has reduced Islamic commercial bank financing. These findings indicate that profit, bank size, and stability are the main Islamic bank fundamentals that significantly influence the amount of Islamic bank financing.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the impact of Qard financing on customer trust in Islamic banks in Indonesia using a nonlinear approach.Methodology – We examine 123 Islamic regional banks (IRBs) from 2016 to 2023 using quarterly data. The estimation method is the dynamic panel regression method using the generalized methods of moments (GMM). The trust of IRBs’ customers is proxied by third-party funds (TPF).Findings – Moderate Qard financing strengthens customer confidence; however, as it exceeds the optimal level, the effect of Qard financing on TPF becomes negative. More importantly, the results indicate that the positive impact of Qard financing on customer confidence weakens as banks face high liquidity risk. Implications – First, Qard financing must be conducted in a measurable and optimal manner to avoid risk perceptions that are likely to weaken fund collections. Second, IRBs need to warrant that the expansion of Qard financing is balanced with prudent liquidity management. The Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) likely includes Qard financing as one of the IRB performance indicators.Originality – Our study is a pioneer in investigating the role of social financing in customer trust using a non-linear approach.
