Abstract

The paper focuses on the impact of informal economy and Islamic finance development on sustainable development using a panel dataset of 15 Muslim-majority countries from 2016 to 2022. The results based on the feasible GLS and panel quantile regression methods reveal that Islamic finance development has a positive impact on sustainable development. Meanwhile, the informal economy has a negative impact on sustainable development. Assessing the components of Islamic finance development, we further note that only quantitative development/financial performance and knowledge indicators are effective in achieving sustainable development. Besides these key results, GDP per capita, trade openness, and foreign direct investment emerge to be positive factors while the natural resource rents a negative factor in sustainable development. We reason that low productivity and precarious working conditions associated with informal economy may have hindered economic, social, and environmental wellbeing. The positive contribution of the Islamic finance development especially those related to Islamic financial performance and knowledge sharing to sustainable development hints the importance of further development of the Islamic financial sector in these countries.

Abstract

This study performs a bibliometric analysis of the literature on ethics in Islamic banking and finance (IBF) in the Scopus database. A total of 366 scholarly articles pertaining to the subject of ethics in IBF are analyzed using VOSviewer, Wordstats, Harzing’s Publish or Perish and Microsoft Excel. The development of the literature on ethics in IBF is outlined in this study, along with a list of the most significant authors, as well as relevant nations, groups, and journal sources. Moreover, the study identifies six major clusters namely, corporate image and customer loyalty of IBF, ethical decision making in IBF, Islamic work ethics, IBF standards and supervisory, ethical products and services of IBF, and maqasid al-shariah and IBF. The findings show an increasing number of citations and documents related to ethics in IBF whereby, the journal of "International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management" makes a substantial contribution to the field of ethics in IBF, both in terms of number of articles published and citation counts. The study offers the opportunity for future research to focus on these topics. Acknowledgment This paper is part of the research funded by the Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia under Geran Inisiatif Penyelidikan (EP-2023-016) entitled "The Policy Framework of Ethical Banking for Malaysian Financial Institutions". We would also like to express our gratitude to the participants and discussants of The 9th International Islamic Monetary Economics and Finance Conference (9th IIMEFC), held on 25th October 2023, who provided valuable insights that significantly contributed to the improvement of the paper.

Abstract

Indonesia offers significant opportunities for the halal sector thanks to its predominantly Muslim population. However, there is a notable lack of certified halal medicines, which is surprising given the crucial role that medicines play in human life. This study aims to investigate how awareness of halal practises influences Muslim consumers' intention to purchase halal medicines, with a particular focus on the Jabodetabek region. The study is based on a total of 150 respondents and employs a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). From the analysis, it is found that awareness of halal products has a significant influence on the intention to purchase halal medicines. In addition, both subjective norms and perceived behavioural control are identified as significant factors influencing the intention to purchase halal medicines. However, it is worth noting that attitude does not have a statistically significant influence on the intention to purchase halal medicines. This result may be attributed to the limited availability of halal-certified medicines, which influences the attitude of individuals in the decision-making process.

Abstract

The empirical literature on a one-tier board system has recently focused on busy directors, defined as directors holding multiple similar positions in more than one firm simultaneously. In the same spirit, this paper investigates the impact of busy commissioners (instead of busy directors) on firms' performance for the case of Indonesia, a country adopting a two-tier board system. We find that busy commissioners do not impact accounting performance but are negatively associated with market performance. The markets tend to react negatively to the presence of busy commissioners, while actually the firms are also not advantaged financially by their presence. Interestingly, we also find that Shariah-compliant firms tend to have better accounting performance but not with market performance. Our analysis further reveals that the negative impact of busy commissioners on market performance diminishes in non-Shariah-compliant firms. Perhaps, the different characteristics of Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah-compliant companies, wherein Shariah-compliant firms tend to restrict leverage and cash level, account for the results. These findings are robust across various regressions. This research calls on policymakers to enforce the regulation regarding commissioners to reduce its detrimental impact on performance. The regulators should also collaborate with relevant agencies to educate and promote the existence of Shariah-compliant firms in Indonesia. Acknowledgment The authors would like to thank Universitas Sebelas-Maret, Indonesia, for the partial funding for this study.

Abstract

Using a sample of 544 Indonesian stocks, we examine the performance of the Shariah and non-Shariah stocks from 2018-2023. Employing panel regressions to investigate the impact of the Shariah investment principles on the average stock returns, we observe a positive relationship between the Shariah firms and average stock return in the market. Consequently, the study forms the Shariah and non-Shairah portfolios and analyzes their performance using the asset pricing model. We document evidence that the Shariah portfolio provides a higher abnormal return than the non-Shariah portfolio. Further, we report that the Shariah portfolio provides a higher abnormal return than the non-Shariah portfolio after controlling COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. Finally, we create the Shariah risk factor and conclude that it is one factor that explains the deviation in the stock return in the Indonesian stock market. The study recommends that policymakers consider this factor to derive the cost of equity, discount rate, and cost of capital.

Abstract

A stable dividend policy is often in the best interests of both the company and its shareholders. Considering the importance of dividend policy, we examine the determinants of dividend payment in Malaysian Sharia-compliant listed firms and the moderating role of board directors. To this end, we apply a static-panel model using data of Malaysian Shariah-compliant listed firms from 2014 to 2020. We find that ROA (Return on Asset) and Price-Earnings ratio (PER) have a significant positive impact on the dividend payout ratio (DPR). On the other hand, NAV (Net Asset Value) shows a negative and significant relationship with the DPR. Our findings also reveal that the board of directors significantly and positively influence the decision to pay dividends. The findings of the study hold significant importance for corporations in determining a suitable dividend policy that can ensure the sustainability of a consistent dividend payout and ensure their organization's financial stability, particularly in Malaysian-listed Shariah-compliant firms.

Abstract

This study examines the mediating role of institutional capabilities in the complex interplay between zakah regulation, leadership, and entrepreneurial competencies, aiming to understand their collective impact on the augmentation of zakah compliance. To this end, a questionnaire was distributed to 833 Indonesian Muslims who actively contribute zakat to official institutions, and the data are analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings underscore the pivotal role of institutional capabilities as a mediator between zakah regulation, leadership, and entrepreneurial competencies, with entrepreneurial skills exerting the most notable influence on zakah compliance. Further, perceived taqwa emerges as a robust influencer of compliance, while zakah regulation demonstrates a dual impact on both compliance and institutional capabilities. Additionally, the study advocates for prioritizing the development of entrepreneurial competencies within zakah institutions, aligning regulations with institutional growth, and nurturing perceived taqwa to fortify zakah compliance on a global scale. Departing from conventional approaches, this study adopts an innovative method by evaluating the efficacy of zakat institutions through institutional capabilities, particularly focusing on entrepreneurial competencies. The introduction of institutional capabilities as a mediating factor signifies a departure from the traditional framework, providing a novel perspective on the evaluation of resource reallocation and strategic direction.

Abstract

This study investigates the changes and persistence in dynamic connectedness between stock market performance and exchange rate fluctuations, comparing conventional and Islamic financial systems. With an eye on a global financial landscape characterized by the integration of capital markets and the adoption of floating exchange rate regimes, it examines the effects of exchange rate variations on the dynamics of the stock market in nine different countries - the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Canada, China, India, Korea, and South Africa. The study employs daily data spanning from November 2015 to July 2023 and uses a comprehensive analysis of three-step methodology, including nonparametric causality-in-quantiles tests, asymmetric slope Conditional Autoregressive Value-at-Risk (CAViaR), and Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregressive (TVP-VAR) Connectedness measure. Our results underline the asymmetric impact of exchange rate fluctuations on stock markets and highlights the distinctive characteristics of Islamic financial markets. Comparing Islamic and conventional stock markets in the context of exchange rate fluctuations, this study not only serves to fill a gap in the existing literature but also emphasizes the significance of currency exchange rate swings for global investors, policymakers, and practitioners trying to understand the intricacies of global financial markets.

Abstract

We examine the impact of the liquidity creation of Full-fledged Islamic Banks (FIBs) and Hybrid Conventional Banks (HCBs) on real economic output for a sample of 10 countries over the 11-year period from 2012–2022. Using the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) framework, we show that both FIBs and HCBs liquidity creation per capita impact real economic output positively. However, HCBs have a greater impact on real economic output than FIBs. These results are statistically and economically significant. We further examine the impact of the liquidity created by both banking systems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, for both bank types, liquidity creation has a negative impact on real output during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in terms of magnitude, the negative impact is more pronounced for the HCBs. We also observe a non-linear impact of liquidity creation on real output, where the non-linearity is more pronounced among the HCBs. As for policy, our results imply that governments should incentivize FIBs to expand their scope and engage more in greenfield financing to have greater impact on real economic output.
