Abstract

Indonesia’s Islamic banking sector has experienced rapid expansion in recent decades; however, credit growth within this sector remains volatile and insufficiently explored, particularly in relation to broader macroeconomic fluctuations. This study addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the key macroeconomic and financial determinants influencing credit growth in Islamic banks. It is driven by the need to understand how external shocks and policy variables affect Islamic financing behavior. Utilizing monthly data from 2002 to 2023, the study employs a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), Impulse Response Function (IRF), and Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) to analyze both short- and long-term dynamics. The VECM results reveal a long-run equilibrium relationship between Islamic credit growth and macroeconomic indicators, including GDP, inflation, and interest rates. This finding suggests that Islamic credit, characterized by its unique Shariah-compliant principles, adjusts over time to restore equilibrium following disruptions. The IRF analysis further indicates that shocks to inflation and exchange rates tend to temporarily suppress credit growth, reflecting the sector’s sensitivity to price volatility and currency fluctuations. In contrast, positive shocks to GDP and stock market performance are associated with sustained increases in credit, underscoring the procyclical nature of Islamic bank lending. FEVD results show that GDP and inflation are the most significant drivers of credit growth variability, followed by interest rates and the exchange rate. These findings underscore that Islamic credit expansion is closely tied to real sector performance and overall macroeconomic stability. For policymakers and financial regulators, the study highlights the importance of maintaining sound macroeconomic fundamentals and fostering a stable investment climate. Such efforts are essential to support sustainable credit growth and enhance the resilience of Indonesia’s Islamic banking sector

Abstract

Land waqf in Indonesia holds significant potential for economic empowerment; however, its predominantly conventional management practices have limited its contribution to broader development goals. This study aims to formulate comprehensive strategic priorities, based on expert evaluations, to enhance the sustainable effectiveness of land waqf management. The research employs the Analytic Network Process (ANP), a method that enables the analysis of interdependencies among decision elements using expert input. The results reveal notable differences in emphasis among expert groups. Regulators identify regulatory issues as the primary challenge (0.303) and the most critical solution area (0.321), with regulatory strengthening emerging as the top strategic priority (0.272). Academics consider nazhir-related issues as the central problem (0.344), advocating balanced empowerment of both wakif and nazhir (each 0.285), supported by strategies focused on enhancing waqf literacy and optimizing asset management (each 0.342). Practitioners also emphasize the role of nazhir (0.308) and prioritize capacity-building solutions for nazhir (0.311), proposing a comprehensive strategy encompassing waqf literacy, regulatory reinforcement, and asset optimization (each 0.270). These findings underscore the need for a multidimensional approach to waqf asset optimization—one that integrates institutional development, educational initiatives, and policy reform. The study highlights the critical importance of collaboration among regulators, academics, and practitioners to establish an effective, professional, and productive land waqf management system.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role and contribution of Islamic social finance institutions in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the community of Palembang City, South Sumatra. The study is driven by the ongoing challenges of sustainable human development: particularly in the areas of education, health, and welfare for underprivileged communities, despite a recent decline in poverty and unemployment over the past three years. However, these issues still require further attention and strategic solutions. Dompet Dhuafa, as a prominent Islamic social finance institution, plays a significant role in enhancing human development outcomes in Palembang. This study employs a qualitative methodology using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with selected informants, and document analysis. To ensure research credibility, triangulation and rich, thick descriptions were utilized. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively, supported by the Analytic Network Process (ANP) model. The impact of Dompet Dhuafa’s program on community development was measured based on targets established by Dompet Dhuafa. The findings indicate that Dompet Dhuafa contributes meaningfully by providing free healthcare services through the Layanan Kesehatan Cuma-Cuma (LKC), education scholarship for underprivileged students, and business capital asssitance to increase the income level. Funding for these programs is primarily sourced from productive waqf, supplemented by zakah and infaq contributions.
