Abstract

Turkey has a long history in Islamic civilisation. However, there is still lack of research to examine participatory banks in Turkey. This is despite the fact that the legacy of strong Islamic law, the majority Muslim population, and the strategic location of the country have failed to serve as catalyst to boost market share of participation banks in the country. This study is aimed at developing priority ranking of SWOT factors and strategies on the participatory bank development in Turkey. Data are collected from experts and practitioners of Participation (Islamic) bank in Turkey. Analytic Network Process (ANP) is used as the methods of analysis. The finding shows that the aspects of participatory banks in Turkey are derived from strengths, opportunities, weakness and threats factors. Sharia board is the main strength of this study, while inadequate competitive product is the main weakness. In the future, government support stands as the first priority from opportunity aspect. Islamic bank in Turkey also needs to aware on the absence of separate law as the main priority of threats aspect. Another finding shows that separated law and regulation is the main strategies of the study. Concomitantly, the study suggests separate law and regulation as the main strategy to enhance banks participation in Turkey. This study could serve as reference point for the regulator in formulating appropriate policy strategies to increase market share of participatory banks in Turkey.

Abstract

Although it has been five years since the beginning of the conversion to the Islamic banking system (IBS) in Libya., the level of knowledge of Islamic banking (IB) products and services among bankers is yet to be investigated. The study uses a quantitative research design to address the issue. A total of 207 complete and valid questionnaires were collected from bankers in several Libyan commercial banks. Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS version 23.0 was employed to analyze the data. Findings showed that bankers have a basic to moderate level of knowledge of IB services and products. They were unaware of some important Islamic services and products such as Musharakah, Murabahah to the purchase ordered (MPO), current Islamic account and investment banking account. The findings also concluded that the bankers were only knowledgeable about concepts of Islamic principles such as the permissibility of selling and prohibition of riba. However, they were unaware of how riba is applied in the banking system. This study urges relevant Libyan stakeholders such as government and top bank management to develop intensive Islamic banking training programs. In order to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of bankers towards IB. This would help to facilitate the conversion to (IBS) in the country.

Abstract

Islamic banks are required to ensure their operations and activities comply with the Shariah principles. According to Islamic Financial Services Act (2013) in Malaysia, all operations and activities of Islamic financial institutions including Islamic banks have to comply with decisions made by the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Shariah Committee (SC) of the Islamic financial institution to ensure Shariah compliance. In practice, Shariah compliance is considered a crucial factor by bank stakeholders, especially Muslim customers in their decision to use Islamic financial products. Thus, one of the ways for Islamic banks to convey their Shariah-compliance to their stakeholders is through annual reports. This study examines the level of compliance on Shariah disclosure in the annual reports of Malaysian Islamic banks. A Shariah disclosure index, comprising mandatory and voluntary items, was developed from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) guidelines and Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) standards. Shariah disclosure data were collected from the annual reports for the year 2016 of the 16 Islamic banks in Malaysia. Based on Institutional Theory, this study hypothesised high compliance, however the results revealed that none of the banks had full compliance to the mandatory items. Nevertheless, some of these banks disclosed voluntary items. The findings provide useful insights to the regulators and stakeholders on Islamic banks’ compliance on Shariah disclosure. The study also reveals the importance of disclosing additional items in the annual reports of Islamic banks.

Abstract

The soundness of financial institutions including banks depends on both internal factors and external factors. The profitability of the banks largely affected by external shocks like oil prices and stock prices. As an oil-exporting country, Saudi economy particularly its banking sector largely rely on the oil prices. This study examines the asymmetric impact of oil prices and stock prices on Saudi Islamic banks’ profitability for the period 2000-2020. Two Saudi Islamic banks’ profitability is examined by the factors like Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) with the help of a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model. The estimated results are observed to be unbiased and robust. The results of this study show that OILP and STOCKP have significant role in determining the Islamic banks’ profitability in Saudi Arabia. Both higher oil prices and stock prices have positive influence on ROE and ROA of Saudi Islamic banks. This study suggest that development and efficiency of Saudi stock market is important and macroeconomic policy should support the country’s economic diversification. The management of Islamic banks need to focus on effective risk assessment and market monitoring tools to face the fluctuation of oil prices and their stock prices as these factors affect their profitability. Besides, Saudi Islamic banks need to diversify their investment portfolios into more productive and export oriented private sectors such as Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This strategic policy will enable Islamic banks to absorb any future shock of oil prices without affecting their profitability.

Abstract

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) as a new instrument in many capital markets is an interesting topic. Although not yet to be popular globally, REITs has gained popularity as flexible, cost efficient and profitable real estate investment vehicle for investors as well as provide liquidity for real estate sector, especially in advanced markets like in US, Japan and Singapore. The emergence of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) coincided with increasing popularity of REITs open opportunity for development of Islamic REITs (I-REITs) as competitive but sharia compliant REITs compared to the conventional one. The dominance of Malaysia as market player of I-REITs as well as many underresearched areas open opportunity for betterment of the current I-REITs markets. This paper is a literature review with two objectives. First, to compile and review existing articles on REITs, both conventional and Islamic, and second, to gain lesson learned as material for development of I-REITs in Indonesia as ultimate goal. It is expected that this literature review will generate ideas for future development proposals on I-REITs, particularly in Indonesia. This study found that literature on I-REITs is relatively thin compared to its conventional counterparts, and Indonesia is still left behind in I-REITs development despite regulatory framework is already in force. Therefore, further effort to promote supply and demand of I-REITs in Indonesia should be taken as a way to diversify Islamic investment avenues for sharia oriented investors.

Abstract

Understanding the willingness of university students pursuing their career as Islamic bankers has proven to be one of the most challenging research topics in the Islamic banking field. This study examines the factors affecting the career intentions as Islamic bankers among university students in Malaysia. Drawing upon Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB), this study examined the factors determining the students' willingness to become Islamic bankers as their future job. Our analysis is based on the 350 respondents involved. Results obtained show that all factors are examined were instrumental in determining the career intentions as Islamic bankers. Our findings should be interpreted with caution. We identified two limitations, first is on the use of the university students as proxies and second our data which was confined to Islamic finance program whilst neglecting other students from business and finance disciplines. The results help improve the role of bank managers to provide proper packages of training to improve the students’ confident to become future Islamic bankers. Besides, this study extends the DTPB’s applicability to include career intentions as Islamic bankers in a Malaysia context.
