Purpose — The demand for Islamic banking products and services has been increasing globally over the past decade, including in Sri Lanka. However, the factors behind this surge are not yet fully understood. The aim of this research is to investigate the factors influencing the demand for Islamic banking products in Sri Lanka.Method — Primary data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires, which were distributed among 650 customers of Amana Bank PLC island-wide across its 33 branches. Convenience sampling techniques were employed for data collection. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was utilized for analyzing the factors influencing the demand for Islamic banking products in Sri Lanka. Statistical methods, including regression analysis, correlation analysis, and a reliability test, were employed to analyze the collected data.Result — The findings indicate a robust relationship between factors such as religiosity, attitude, awareness, and reputation, and the demand for Islamic banking products in Sri Lanka. According to the regression analysis, awareness was identified as having the greatest impact on the demand for Islamic banking products, while reputation, attitude, and religiosity were determined to be the second, third, and least impactful factors, respectively.Novelty — This research is pioneering in a country like Sri Lanka, where it is still in the developmental stage, and the majority of the population is non-Muslim. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers in the Islamic banking and finance sectors, guiding them in formulating strategies to attract a broader customer base for their products and services among both Muslim and non-Muslim customers.

Purpose: This study examines the effect of cost management practices on the profitability of listed manufacturing companies in Sri Lanka, focusing on the application of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) during the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: The study employs quantitative methods to analyze secondary data from the annual reports of 70 listed manufacturing companies between 2019 and 2023. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software, including tests for correlation, multiple regression analysis, data stationarity, autocorrelation, and multicollinearity.Result: The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between direct material costs and profitability, suggesting that effective management of material costs through ABC enhances financial performance. Similarly, direct labor costs also show a significant negative relationship with profitability, emphasizing ABC's role in optimizing labor costs to increase profits. Factory overhead costs exhibit a significant negative correlation with profitability, highlighting ABC's effectiveness in reducing non-productive overheads. In contrast, administrative expenses have an insignificant impact on profitability, indicating the limited efficacy of ABC in managing these costs. Overall, the results affirm ABC's utility in controlling production-related costs but suggest the need for alternative strategies for managing administrative expenses.Practical Implications for Economic Growth and Development: The study emphasizes the importance of efficient cost reduction methods, which can improve firm productivity, increase profitability, and support stability and economic recovery in the post-pandemic period.
