Introduction/Main Objectives: This study reviews the presence of Fintech in South and Southeast Asian countries through several categories. Background Problems: Many people doubt the presence of Fintech in South Asia and Southeast Asia as part of a developing country with all its limitations, especially Sharia Fintech. Novelty: Developing Sharia Fintech in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries, which have not spread evenly before. Research Methods: Qualitatively using GFD (Global Findex Database) data collected in 2021, which was then elaborated with 115 research studies (50 from Scopus, 24 from Research Gate, 21 from Google Scholars and 20 from other sources). Finding/Results: The presence of Fintech is more likely to develop rapidly in the Southeast Asia region, not so in the South Asian region. The lneeds of each region are different. It is different if developed by Sharia Fintech (I-Fintech/Islamic Financial Technology). Its potential is almost acceptable in all regions, including in countries that are sensitive to religious issues. Conclusion: It is not only Fintech that is the future of cutting-edge banking, but also the presence of I-Fintech (Islamic Financial Technology) which empirically opens up great opportunities and repositions mainstream financial institutions into traditional banking, including Islamic banking. However, the presence of Fintech and I-Fintech still requires the support of local government policies and the wider community, Muslims and non-Muslims in any part of the world.

Background Problems: Although many previous studies have measured financial performance using the EVA and MVA methods, there is still limited use of EVA and MVA methods in tourism sector companies particularly listed in Islamic stock exchange. Novelty: The concept of economic value added (EVA) and market value added (MVA) become an alternative to performance measurement. Research Methods: This research is descriptive quantitative research with secondary data used as data collection technique. Dependent variable is abnormal stock return while independent variables used were EVA and MVA. Data was retrieved from Indonesian stock exchange web and 17 tourism sub-sector companies registered with ISSI during the period 2018-2020. Panel data regression with E-views tool employed as analysis technique. Finding/ Results: The study found that the coefficient sign for the EVA is positive and insignificant, while MVA is significant in affecting abnormal stock return. This indicates increasing in MVA will be causing increasing in abnormal return stock. Simultaneously, EVA & MVA have influence on abnormal stock return of the studied companies in Indonesia. The study suggests that investors can might consider MVA as an important factor in decision before purchasing their potential stock, also consider the importance of MVA impact on abnormal return as the basis of government’s related policy determinant.

Waqf refers to a specific form of philanthropic charitable act that is practiced by allocating a non-perishable tangible asset. It involves designating categories of beneficiaries who are entitled to receive its benefits or income. This research investigates the governing structures of Waqf institutions in India and Singapore, with the objective of comprehending the intricate factors that influence their operational functionality. This research aims to explore the differences and similarities in the governance structures of waqf in both countries, considering its significance in their socio-religious landscapes. The main objectives of this comparative analysis are to examine the governance models of Waqf institutions in India and Singapore, identify regulatory mechanisms, and evaluate their impact on the administration and utilization of Waqf assets. Additionally, the study aims to illuminate the socio-economic implications of the differences in governance and assess the effectiveness of each model in preserving the intended socio-religious goals of Waqf endowments. This paper is grounded on research conducted using available written materials, and it embraces the qualitative research framework to analyze the literature at hand. By assessing and comparing the governance of Waqf institutions in India and Singapore, significant disparities are uncovered. India's approach is characterized by decentralization and the existence of various regulatory bodies, Singapore adopts a more centralized approach. The study sheds light on how different governance structures impact the effectiveness, transparency, and sustainable management of Waqf assets. Financial sustainability, community involvement, and adherence to socio-religious purpose emerge as pivotal factors that differentiate the two models.

After the Covid-19 pandemic, it cannot be denied that online shopping has increased shopping behavior patterns using non-cash money. This is due to restrictions on community activities and cash is considered to be a trigger for the spread of the Covid19 virus. This research looks at the phenomenon of using cash as an impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, whether it triggers an increase in non-cash financial literacy and whether government programs for people's movement to use non-cash money can form a non-cash society as a form of effective use of non-cash money or even trigger consumer behavior with minimal understanding non-cash financial literacy. This research uses a qualitative, phenomenal approach by collecting data through interviews with 50 informants with criteria aged 19-21 years and to triangulate the data, interviews were conducted with 2 employees of Bank BSI Jombang and BRI Pulung Ponorogo who have expertise in the banking sector. Based on the research results, it is stated that cashless users aged 19-21 years, influence consumer behavior but have not yet been balanced with detailed knowledge of digital financial literacy and still the function of non-cash money is mostly on shopping behavior so that digital financial skills in non-cash only limited to debits and credits in the cash flow of bank accounts. There is a difference between women and men in usage, namely that men study the products they will buy using cashless and are not easily influenced by promotions compared to women who easily use cashless without studying the details of the products they will buy so they are easily influenced by promotions. It can be used as a basis for policy making in the economic and banking sectors.
