Abstract

  This study investigates the effect of Sharia Economic Festival education and financial literacy on halal awareness and the intention to use Sharia financial products in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 135 respondents using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results demonstrate that Sharia Economic Festival education significantly enhances financial literacy and halal awareness. Financial literacy also has a strong positive effect on halal awareness and directly influences the intention to use Sharia financial products. Moreover, halal awareness emerges as the most influential predictor of consumer intention, highlighting the central role of religious and ethical considerations in the adoption of Sharia-compliant financial services. The findings emphasize the importance of educational interventions, financial knowledge, and awareness-building strategies to strengthen the penetration of Sharia financial products in Indonesia. This study contributes to theoretical understanding and provides practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and event organizers seeking to increase public engagement with Islamic finance.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of hedging strategies on the financial performance of import–export companies in Indonesia. Due to the high exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations, firms engaged in international trade increasingly adopt hedging mechanisms to stabilize financial outcomes. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 115 respondents through a Likert scale–based questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Statistical tests including validity, reliability, correlation, and regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between hedging strategies and financial performance. The results show that hedging strategies have a positive and significant effect on financial performance. The correlation coefficient (r = 0.642) indicates a strong relationship, while the regression analysis reveals that hedging explains 41.2% of the variation in financial performance. Forward contracts, options, swaps, and natural hedging contribute significantly to improving profitability, liquidity, and cash flow stability. The findings highlight the importance of systematic risk management practices in increasing the financial resilience and competitiveness of import–export companies in Indonesia. This study recommends that firms enhance their financial literacy and adopt more structured hedging policies to effectively mitigate currency risks.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of IT infrastructure readiness and system integration capability on the reliability of tax reporting data in fintech startups in Indonesia. The research employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 35 respondents through structured questionnaires measured on a Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that IT infrastructure readiness has a positive and significant effect on the reliability of tax reporting data, demonstrating that stable, secure, and scalable systems contribute to improved data accuracy and consistency. Similarly, system integration capability shows a significant positive influence, highlighting the importance of seamless data flow and interoperability among organizational systems in minimizing errors and inconsistencies in reporting. Simultaneously, both variables significantly affect tax reporting reliability, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.642, indicating that 64.2% of the variance in tax reporting reliability can be explained by these factors. The findings suggest that fintech startups need to strengthen both their IT infrastructure and system integration to enhance compliance, transparency, and data reliability in tax reporting processes. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of technological capabilities in supporting reliable tax reporting within digital financial ecosystems.
