Abstract

Islamic banks are exposed to a unique risk such as Displaced Commercial Risk (DCR). DCR arises from the assets managed on behalf of the investment account holders which may be borne by the Islamic bank’s own capital, when the Islamic banks forgo part or all of its share of profits on the investment account holders funds, in order to increase the return to the investment account holders. In a dual banking system, DCR could be a threat to the Islamic banks given the competition of fixed and higher return from the conventional banks. However, DCR would not be a threat to Islamic banks if their account holders choose Islamic banks due to religious obligatory factor. Pertaining to this issue, this paper aims to identify the determinants of factors influencing the DCR among the Islamic banks in the case of Malaysia. Results of the study suggest that the DCR is significantly determined by the Investment account holder funds, Islamic deposit, rate of return, and interest rate.

Abstract

Financial technology is a part of digital ecosystem which development is rapid and massive, so does the sharia fintech. However, conventional and sharia fintech are two different systems and should have each regulation. The problem is if sharia fintech regulations in Indonesia is appropriate. Then what about Malaysia which are considered successful in developing the sharia fintech. This study compares sharia fintech regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The aim is to find out the readiness of Indonesia and Malaysia in supporting the sharia fintech trend realized in the regulations. This is a qualitative research using books and academic articles as an addition to the literature and regulations as the analytical method. The results indicate that Indonesia and Malaysia try to accommodate sharia fintech regulations. Indonesia still uses The Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) and Bank Indonesia regulations, both of which do not meet the sharia principles. Meanwhile, Malaysia uses the 2013 Islamic Financial Services Act (IFSA), a law to regulate sharia compliance of the Islamic financial services sector, including the Sharia Fintech. In addition, Malaysia also has a Sharia Advisory Council as a supervisor for the Islamic financial services implementations. Malaysia’s and Indonesia’s regulations have yet answered the sharia fintech developments. Financial technology merupakan bagian dari ekosistem digital yang perkembangannya sangat pesat dan masif, tak terkecuali fintech syariah. Namun, fintech konvensional dan syariah adalah dua sistem yang berbeda dan seharusnya memiliki peraturan yang berbeda pula. Permasalahannya apakah regulasi fintech syariah di Indonesia sudah tepat apa belum, lalu bagaimana dengan regulasi di Malaysia yang dianggap berhasil mengembangkan fintech syariah. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui sejauhmana kesiapan Indonesia dan Malaysia dalam mendukung trend fintech syariah dalam regulasi. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan buku dan artikel akademis sebagai tambahan literatur dan peraturan sebagai metode analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia dan Malaysia sama-sama berusaha mengakomodasi regulasi. Indonesia masih menggunakan Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan dan Peraturan Bank Indonesia, dan belum memenuhi prinsip syariah. Malaysia menggunakan Islamic Financial Services Act (IFSA) 2013, sebuah Undang-Undang yang mengatur kepatuhan syariah dari sektor jasa keuangan Islam. Malaysia juga memiliki Dewan Pertimbangan Syariah sebagai pengawas pelaksanaan jasa keuangan Islam. Regulasi yang dimiliki oleh Malaysia dan Indonesia belum menjawab perkembangan fintech syariah.
