Abstract

The main problem faced by Islamic rural banks (IRBs) in Indonesia is the high level of non-performing financing (NPF). This paper analyzes the factors that influence NPF by focusing on the effect of financing diversification based on financing contracts. The IRBs being studied are banks located in West Java and East Java which constitute 34% of the total IRBs in Indonesia. The research period is from 2013-2022 using quarterly data and unbalanced panel data. The estimation method used is panel regression. The results document that the concentration of financing based on contracts reduces the NPF. Apart from that, the size of the bank, high capital, and stability will also reduce NPF. However, financing and operational efficiency do not affect NPF. COVID-19, which has caused a decline in Indonesia's economic growth, has increased the NPF. The policy implication of these findings is that IRBs must focus on certain financing contracts to reduce the risk of bad financing instead of disbursing all financing contracts.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of sectoral financing concentration on the profitability of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The data is aggregated by Indonesian Islamic banks from January 2015 to June 2021. Islamic banks are divided into two, namely Islamic commercial banks and Islamic window banks. The study used Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and Panel Mean Group (PMG). The results showed that sectoral financing concentration increased the profitability of Islamic commercial banks while diversification of sectoral financing boosted the profitability of Islamic window banks. In addition, this study also showed that size and inefficiency negatively affected the profitability of Islamic commercial banks and window banks. This result implies that the right sectoral financing policy for Islamic commercial banks is financing concentration. This strategy implies that Islamic commercial banks must build competitiveness in certain sectors of the economy. For this reason, there is a need to increase the skills of the worker to build a competitive advantage in the sector that is the focus of financing. In comparison, sectoral financing diversification is more applicable for Islamic window banks. To support this diversification strategy, banks must conduct good supervision in the financing, especially sectoral financing based on profit-sharing contracts.

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.
