Abstract

Income inequality is evident in all countries regardless of the level of development or income status. Islamic financial system has Shariah-compliant financial instruments that, when properly utilized, can facilitate equitable income distribution in the OIC member countries. This study examines the effect of Islamic financial development and human development on income inequality in the OIC. The study also analyzes the validity of the Islamic finance Kuznets curve hypothesis. We employ FMOLS and DOLS estimators with data from 20 OIC member countries covering the period from 2012 to 2022. The results show that Islamic financial development and human development promote equitable income distribution. The findings also confirm the validity of the Islamic finance Kuznets curve hypothesis. Thus, to reduce the income gap in the OIC, Islamic financial institutions should expand further via for examples innovation in Shariah-compliant Islamic financial products and services. In addition, policymakers should prioritize policies and programs that can promote Islamic financing and improve human development in the OIC member countries.

Abstract

This research applies a novel model to compute a hedge ratio. Specifically, the model modifies volatility forecasts of an exponentially weighted moving average method to account for the fat-tailed distribution of returns. This simpler model aims to overcome the widely-known drawback of the complex GARCH models that a long daily return period is required to ensure the model’s convergence. The data are Islamic exchange-traded funds: SP Funds Dow Jones Global Sukuk ETF, Wahed FTSE USA Shariah ETF, and iShares MSCI EM Islamic UCITS ETF. Sukuk act as a diversifier over the turmoil period since they are positively correlated with Islamic equity and their volatility is less than that of Islamic equity. This work also implements widely-used methods such as Dynamic Equicorrelation-GARCH, GO-GARCH, asymmetric DCC-GARCH, naïve approach, and linear regression. Two forms of data splitting and a rolling-window analysis are carried out to reduce data mining bias. All models generate one-step ahead forecasts of hedge ratios. Applying wavelet-transformed returns and utility analysis incorporating third and fourth moments, the proposed models produce better performance than the competing models. The results remain the same irrespective of different hedging instruments (precious metals) and asset classes.

Abstract

This paper examines the effect of profit-and-loss sharing financing (PLS financing) and operating expenses on the intermediation costs of Islamic rural banks in Indonesia. Using a panel dataset of 147 Islamic rural banks over the period 2011-2021 and dynamic panel regressions, it shows that, in general, PLS financing exerts no significant influence on the Islamic rural banks’ intermediation costs, as measured by the net margin. Meanwhile, the operating expenses are significantly and positively affecting the banks’ net margin, the result that is robust to different regression specifications. Accordingly, the initiatives to promote PLS financing will, at least, not necessarily have a detrimental effect on the net margin. Operating expenses matter more, underscoring the need for serious efforts to improve the effectiveness of Islamic local banks’ cost management.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between corporate attributes and the probability of bankruptcy among halal food and beverage companies in five countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Analyzing data from 56 firms from 2008 to 2021 using static panel data method, we find that the working capital period (cash conversion cycle), leverage, and firm growth increase the probability of bankruptcy for these companies. In contrast, liquidity, profitability, and firm size reduce bankruptcy probability. The findings reveal essential firm attributes that can guide the management of halal food and beverage firms, relevant regulators, and potential investors in ensuring the firms’ long-term viability.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) empowerment programs on beneficiaries’ welfare, financial inclusion, social participation, and spirituality. Using questionnaires administered to the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the empowerment programs in Central Lampung, South Tangerang, Trenggalek East Java, and Bima Nusa Tenggara Indonesia, the study constructs three impact indicators: the welfare index, financial inclusion index, and social and spiritual index. The data are analyzed using the difference-in-difference (DiD) method, where the three impact indices are compared between the two groups of respondents in 2021 and 2022. We find that the CWLS empowerment programs improve the welfare and financial inclusion of beneficiaries but have no discernible effect on social and spiritual participation. However, the DID analysis reveals that the overall impacts of welfare, financial inclusion, and social and spiritual participation are not statistically different between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries in 2021 and 2022. This study provides significant implications for policymakers and nadzir to enhance the impacts of CWLS on socioeconomic development and poverty alleviation.

Abstract

This study evaluates whether investors benefit from green sukuk by examining the responses of stock returns to the announcements of corporate green sukuk (green Islamic bonds) issuance. Applying the standard event study methodology, it finds that stock returns respond positively and significantly to the announcements of green sukuk issuance, suggesting that investors perceive and react favorably to the announcement. This significantly positive response is observed both for the individual firm (through CARs) and for a sample of all firms (through CAARs). Thus, it can be concluded that investors benefit from the announcements of green sukuk issuance. Further, this study draws a comparative analysis of investors’ response to the announcements of corporate green sukuk and corporate green bond issuance, and the findings also show that investors respond positively to the announcements of green bond issuances. However, the investors’ response is slightly higher to the announcements of corporate green sukuk issuance compared to corporate green bonds, and the investors get slightly more benefit from green sukuk issuance as compared to green bond issuance. These finding inform policymakers for the formulation of strategies to attract investors by integrating green bonds with shariah principles to fund environment-friendly projects and consequently mitigate the climate change risk.

Abstract

The recent surge in the global asset value of Islamic finance has pushed Cameroonian policymakers to consider this mode of finance as an important element of the national financial inclusion strategy. This study examines the factors that influence the adoption of Islamic finance by SME entrepreneurs on the one hand and gender differences in adoption on the other hand in Cameroon, a non-Muslim-dominated African country. Based on a sample of 1,358 SME entrepreneurs, a simple logistic model is adopted to analyze the determinants of the decision to adopt Islamic finance while the Fairlie decomposition is afterward employed to test for gender disparities vis-a-vis the adoption of this mode of finance. Results of the logistic regression show that the need to abide by the Sharia law, awareness, attitude, intention, location, and gender positively and significantly affect the decision to patronize the Islamic mode of financing by Cameroonian SME entrepreneurs while subjective norms and age exert negative effects. The results of the Fairlie decomposition show that there exists a mean difference of 8% to the disadvantage of female entrepreneurs concerning the adoption of Islamic finance and that this gap is widened by religious motivation, awareness, intention, and location. Policymakers are encouraged to enhance the level of Islamic finance awareness of SME entrepreneurs, and the sharia compliance of Islamic finance institutions by obliging them to operate under the guidance of qualified sharia boards. These policies should be supported by the implementation of accompanying measures, such as the eradication of societal norms that restrict women's ability to use Islamic finance services.

Abstract

This study examines the human capital drivers and how they contribute to service innovation in Indonesian Islamic banking. A questionnaire is used to gather data from a total of 225 Islamic banking employees, and then partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is applied for data analysis. Moreover, the Maqashid Sharia concept from Abu Zaharah is used to enrich the study findings from an Islamic viewpoint. The findings reveal that human capital drivers comprising leadership strategies, employee engagement, and workforce optimization have both direct and indirect positive effects on service innovation. We believe that our key contribution to the work is providing a service innovation model, where the constructs in the framework employed so far have not been studied comprehensively in the context of Islamic organizations. Furthermore, the developed model integrates more relevant factors to the construction of a strategic human capital management system that can boost service innovation in Islamic banking.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of board attributes on the stability of Islamic banks and whether the presence a standalone risk management committee (SARC) moderates their relation. Applying the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regression as well as the two-step system generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for robustness to a panel sample of 43 Islamic banks across 15 countries over eleven years from 2010 to 2020, we document evidence suggesting that board meetings, board gender diversity and foreign directors do not influence the stability of Islamic banks. Conversely, board members holding doctorate degrees (PhDs) significantly and negatively affect the stability of Islamic banks. In addition, the presence of SARC significantly improves the stability of Islamic banks. The study further finds that SARC partially and positively moderates the effects of board members with PhDs and foreign directors on the stability of Islamic banks.

Abstract

This study empirically analyses the role of Islamic financial inclusion in overcoming poverty, income inequality, and human development problems by employing yearly panel data of 33 provinces in Indonesia from 2014 to 2022. The results show that, except Aceh and DKI Jakarta, all provinces in Indonesia have low Islamic Financial Inclusion Index (IFII). Our analysis reveals that Islamic financial inclusion exerts significant roles in poverty reduction and human development improvement, while it is insignificantly related to income inequality. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the effect on human development of financial inclusion is further strengthened. We further note that the effects of Islamic financial inclusion depends on the levels of Human Development Index (HDI), where poverty reduction and human development improvement are apparent only in provinces with high and very high HDI.
