Abstract

Financial crises, and stock markets over the years have amply shown how investors’ sentiment affect asset prices and the effectiveness of stock markets. Such a crisis brought down financial institutions sent stock markets tumbling, and left consumers scrambling due to subprime mortgages. With this, Islamic finance adoption has driven demand for Islamic financial products being free from interest. Hence, this study aimed to determine how Islamic finance can influence the economy of 19 selected countries adopting Islamic finance. These countries have marginal to significant scores in Islamic Finance across the years. This study utilized panel data from 2013 to 2021, which was gathered from the Global Islamic Finance Report, Global Innovation Report, and World Bank. A number of diagnostic tests and analyses were performed in order to reach a result that addressed the objectives and problem statement. The Panel Corrected Standard Errors analysis was used as the final model to treat heteroscedasticity, cross-sectional dependence, and autocorrelation. Based on the regression results, Islamic finance has a positive and statistically significant effect on the economy. The regression results indicate a positive and statistically significant impact of Islamic finance on the economies of the studied countries. This finding underscores the potential of Islamic finance to stimulate economic growth, enhance financial stability, and foster inclusivity in financial markets. Consequently, the findings highlight the pivotal role of macroeconomic variables and the adoption of Islamic finance principles in shaping economic outcomes.

Abstract

In an era of increasing economic volatility and financial uncertainty, understanding the impact of the Real Business Cycle (RBC) on the Islamic Capital Market (ICM) is crucial for enhancing the resilience of Islamic financial systems, which are increasingly significant in global finance. This research is important because understanding the impact of the Real Business Cycle (RBC) on the Islamic Capital Market (ICM) is crucial for enhancing the resilience of Islamic financial systems, which are increasingly significant in global finance. The research aims to investigate the extent of co-movement and the effect of the Real Business Cycle (RBC) on the Islamic Capital Market (ICM) in Indonesia. The methodology begins with the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) Filter to identify trends and cycles in the RBC and ICM data. Next, cross-correlation analysis is used to measure the co-movement between the two, determining how RBC fluctuations affect the Islamic capital market. Finally, the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) are applied to explore both the short-term and long-term causal relationships between RBC and ICM, offering insights into immediate and persistent effects on the market.  The findings reveal a significant relationship between Real Business Cycle (RBC) indicators and the Islamic Capital Market (ICM), with notable shifts in investor behavior and varying impacts of GDP, unemployment, and exchange rates on Islamic financial instruments like Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) and Sukuk.

Abstract

Given the critical role of Islamic Rural Banks (IRB) in supporting financial inclusion and economic stability in Indonesia, this research urgently highlights the need for strategic improvements in IRB efficiency to ensure sustainable growth and resilience in the face of economic uncertainties. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of Islamic Rural Banks (IRB) in Indonesia. In the second phase, the study examines the impact of Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Earnings & Capital (RGEC) factors on IRB efficiency. Additionally, the research analyzes the influence of the Maqasid Sharia Index (MSI) on IRB efficiency. The methodology involves employing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) followed by a Multinomial Logistic Regression test, using a sample of 119 IRB across Indonesia. The research period of this article is from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2021. The DEA results categorize 516 and 693 data observations as high efficiency for intermediation and production approaches, respectively. Risk Profile factors (NPF & FDR) significantly affect IRB efficiency. GCG factors, specifically Board of Directors’ Ownership & Board of Commissioners’ Ownership, have a significant impact on IRB efficiency, but only in the intermediation approach. Earnings, represented by ROA, significantly influence both approaches, while ROE yields opposite results. Capital, represented by CAR, significantly affects the intermediation approach. The Sharia factor, MSI, demonstrates a significant impact on IRB efficiency in both intermediation and production approaches. These findings serve as an academic reference for IRB managers, guiding decision making to enhance efficiency in the future.

Abstract

PT. Pegadaian has recorded increased digital application users, especially Sharia digital pawnshop service. This study examines the primary elements that enable using Sharia pawnshop digital service applications. Modeling UTAUT technology adoption as an approach to this investigation and providing trialability and efficiency to assess objectives to employ digital service Sharia pawnshop tools. The data was acquired from 218 millennial Muslims in Indonesia using a questionnaire. This research relies on AMOS Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to forecast a collection of latent variable indicators generated through numerous dimensions and indicators. Statistically, millennial Muslims' desire to benefit from virtual Sharia pawnshop services is substantially impacted by circumstances of facilitation, trialability, and efficiency. The foundation of the UTAUT model (performance expectations, effort expectations, and social impact) has not been able to nurture the desire to comply with the digital service Sharia pawnshop platform. Then, the purpose of use immensely impacts the behavior of utilizing online resources in Sharia pawnshop applications. This study reveals untapped areas of trialability and efficiency, notably technology adoption. Sharia internet pawnshop services are relatively new, which is why these two factors are used. PT Pegadaian Shariah (Pawnshop Shariah - Persero) must scrutinize its operation so that lapses do not arise and make consumers feel safer conducting transactions using this application. Remember that the Sharia Digital Pawnshop Service (PSDS) aims to broaden the target market, particularly the millennial generation, and the market competition.

Abstract

The sustainable movement in the financial sector, known as green banking, has emerged as a global standard that obligates the financial industry to adhere to social and environmental responsibilities. Indonesian Islamic banks' green banking initiatives are examined in this study. Green Banking Disclosure Index (GBDI) indicators for 13 Islamic commercial banks were collected from their five-year sustainability reports. Bose et al. (2018)'s 21 GDBI indicators were thoroughly analyzed. Jeucken's typology measurement showed banks' four-stage movement from defensive and preventative to aggressive and "sustainable" in 2004. Jeucken's Typology of Banking and Sustainable Development functioned as the assessment framework for evaluating green banking performance. Among the 13 Islamic banks analysed, only six have chosen to publicly disclose their sustainability reports. The banks in question include Panin Dubai Syariah Bank, Muamalat Bank, Aladin Syariah Bank, Aceh Bank, BTPN Syariah Bank, and Mega Syariah Bank. The data reveals that no Islamic banks have reached the "sustainable" stage. Currently, two out of six Islamic banks are positioned in the offensive stage, while the other four are in the preventive stage. It can be posited that these financial institutions have commenced the shift towards a "sustainable" phase. The findings of this study on disclosure indicators in green banking indicate that Indonesian Islamic banks must revise their reporting methods concerning environmentally friendly banking practices. Moreover, considering their crucial role in advancing green banking in relation to sustainable development, Indonesian Islamic banks need to enhance the quality of their publicly accessible sustainability reports.

Abstract

Building upon the growing interest in the determinants of subjective well-being (SWB), this study analyzes the interaction between education and age on subjective well-being (SWB) in Indonesia. The novelty of this research lies in the finding that the relationship between age and SWB depends on education. This finding has yet to be widely discussed in the literature on the relationship between age and SWB, which mostly concludes that age and SWB exhibit a U-shaped pattern. Happiness, the dependent variables, is used as proxy for SWB. The data is the latest wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), provided by RAND Corporation. Generalized ordinal logistic regression, or the partial proportional odds model, is employed as the estimation method, considering the ordinal nature of the dependent variables in this study and the violation of the proportional odds assumption. The findings indicate that increased level of education strenghten the positive the relationship between age and SWB, up to a certain point. However, the results suggest that for individuals with higher levels of education, the probability of feeling very unhappy may increase with age, particularly after age 70.   Based on the findings, it is recommended that policies aim to provide educational opportunities for individuals, especially in their earlier years, to promote well-being and reduce the likelihood of negative outcomes such as feeling very unhappy in later life. From an Islamic perspective, the balance between worldly knowledge and spiritual well-being is emphasized. As individuals age, particularly those with higher education, managing expectations becomes crucial. Islam encourages individuals to be content (shukr) with their life circumstances and to find peace in their trust in Allah (tawakkal). This study found that religiosity and contentment significantly influence happiness. Therefore, policies should focus on educational opportunities and integrate support for spiritual well-being, helping individuals cultivate gratitude and inner peace as they age.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to explore the factors that impact individuals' willingness to pay Zakat on their employment income or professional Zakat based on the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (ETPB). The research approach employed in this study was quantitative research based on primary data. To gather the necessary data, a survey of civil servants (PNS) was conducted in five departments of the Yogyakarta City government, namely the Health Department, Environmental Department, Tourism Department, Education Department, and Agriculture Department. 145 valid questionnaires were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings of the research indicate that subjective norms, the credibility of Zakat Institutions, and information from Zakat management institutions positively impact the intention to pay Zakat. Nevertheless, the intention to pay Zakat was not positively influenced by attitude, perceived behavioral control, or understanding of the profession. This study's implications may assist regulators and policymakers in increasing public awareness of Zakat contributions. To achieve this, Zakat institutions could make efforts to improve dissemination, issue circulars, improve services, and promote transparency, particularly in the collection and distribution of Zakat funds

Abstract

Sharia mortgage financing growth in Indonesia is shaped by both macroeconomic conditions and internal banking performance. This study aims to examine the influence of macroeconomic variables, Industrial Production Index, inflation, BI rate and internal bank factors, Third-Party Funds, Non-Performing Financing of Sharia mortgages, and total assets on the distribution of Sharia mortgage financing in Indonesia. The research employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag method. The results indicate that in the short term, all variables have a significant effect on Sharia mortgage financing. Industrial Production Index, inflation, Third-Party Funds, mortgage Non-Performing Financing, and total assets have a significant positive impact, while the BI rate has a significant negative effect. In the long term, only IPI and mortgage Non-Performing Financing show a significant positive influence on the distribution of Sharia mortgage financing. Inflation, the BI rate, and total assets have a positive but insignificant effect, while Third-Party Funds has a negative and insignificant effect. This study suggests that the government should implement appropriate macroeconomic policies, and Islamic banks should consistently maintain internal banking factors to optimize the distribution of Sharia mortgage financing. This will facilitate home ownership through Sharia mortgages and contribute to strengthening Indonesia’s economy, as the housing sector plays a strategic role with its capital and labour-intensive industries

Abstract

Economic growth disparities among OIC member states remain a persistent challenge that demands nuanced, data-driven policy responses. This study investigates the determinants of economic growth in OIC member states from 2010 to 2022. This study offers new insights by analysing four macroeconomic variables, explicitly distinguishing between high and low-income nations. The study's approach provides an in-depth understanding of how each variable impacts different stages of development, supporting more adaptive monetary and fiscal strategies. Panel regression analysis was employed, with a random effects model applied to the low-income country group and a common effects model used for the high-income group. The findings reveal a consistent negative impact of private debt on economic growth across both income groups. In contrast, inflation exhibited no significant influence on economic development in either category. FDI has shown a positive effect on the economic development of high-income countries, while no significant effect was observed for low-income countries. Conversely, trade openness has significantly stimulated economic growth in low-income nations, whereas no significant impact has been observed in high-income countries. Based on these findings, policy recommendations for OIC member states should prioritize debt reduction strategies across all income levels. Policies to enhance FDI in developed economies and promote trade openness are essential for economic growth in low-income OIC member countries.

Abstract

This study explores the multifaceted determinants of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in alleviating poverty by employing a qualitative meta-synthesis approach guided by the ENTREQ protocol. The research synthesizes findings from 23 scholarly articles indexed in Scopus to identify key internal and external factors influencing IFI performance in poverty alleviation. These determinants are systematically categorized into a strategic quadrant model: internal-structural, internal-behavioural, external-structural, and external-behavioural. Internal-structural elements such as institutional capacity, operational models, access to capital, and adherence to Islamic values significantly affect the success of IFIs, while internal-behavioural dimensions highlight the roles of innovation, religiosity, and community-based initiatives. Externally, the legal and policy environment, cultural dynamics, public perception, and economic conditions emerge as critical influences on IFIs’ outreach and effectiveness. The findings reveal that IFIs often face challenges in maintaining their developmental focus due to resource limitations, regulatory gaps, and competitive financial landscapes. Nonetheless, when grounded in Islamic ethical principles and supported by appropriate institutional frameworks, IFIs demonstrate a strong potential to deliver inclusive financial services and uplift marginalized communities. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach to consolidating diverse themes into a coherent analytical framework, offering actionable insights for practitioners, regulators, and scholars. It emphasizes that successful poverty alleviation through IFIs requires a synchronized interplay of ethical commitment, institutional readiness, policy support, and grassroots participation. The results contribute to the development of strategic recommendations for enhancing the role of Islamic finance in addressing poverty across different socio-economic and regulatory contexts.
