Abstract

This research aims to compare and analyze the efficiency of Islamic banking in Southeast Asia and the Middle East by examining particular inputs such as third-party funds, operational expenses, labor costs, and return on assets, focusing on financing as the output. This quantitative study uses a purposive sampling technique to sample 30 sharia banks from Southeast Asia and 30 sharia banks from the Middle East from 2015 to 2022. The data used is secondary data from BankFocus and the annual financial reports of each bank. Data was processed using the Frontier 4.1 application with the Stochastic Frontier Analysis method. The results of this research show that the efficiency of sharia banking in the Middle East is higher than sharia banking in Southeast Asia. On the other hand, the return on assets has no impact on financing, but the input of third-party funds, operational expenses, and labor costs all have an impact. These findings show the importance of efficiently supervising the management of third-party funds and costs incurred by banks in order to improve banking performance. Hence, this will ultimately lead to an increase in the efficiency of sharia banking and a growth of banking profits.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect between bank health on profitability and firm value of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. This research employs a quantitative approach. Researchers conducted tests through the SPSS application and path analysis. The research included a total of 12 Islamic Commercial Banks for the financial year 2020-2022. The findings of this research demonstrate that RGEC (Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance, Earnings, and Capital) have a simultaneous impact on bank health, specifically on profitaility through Return on Assets (ROA). Partially, only payments affect ROA. Meanwhile, other indicators of RGEC do not affect ROA. Partially, risk profile and earnings indicators affect Return on Equity (ROE). In contrast, two other indicators, namely good corporate profile and capital, do not affect ROE. Simultaneously, the influence of bank health on firm value is mediated by RGEC. Partially, the four RGEC indicators have no impact on firm value. In other tests, through the mediation flow, neither ROA nor ROE can mediate the effect of RGEC on firm value. Meanwhile, profitability through ROA and ROE affects firm value. The implications of this research significantly contribute to understanding the financial stability of bank health, its effect on profitability, its effect on firm value, and its contributions to the field of academic research.

The data analysis technique used is Panel VECM. The study results show that only the Islamic Finance variable positively affects economic growth in the short term. In contrast, the other variables show no effect or a negative effect on economic growth.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of Sharia Interbank Money Market (PUAS), Sharia Bank Indonesia Facility (FASBIS), and Sukuk Bank Indonesia (SukBI) on Return On Assets (ROA) of Indonesian Islamic Commercial Banks. This research uses a quantitative deductive approach using EViews 10 test tools and VAR / VECM techniques. This study uses secondary data with time series data from January 2019 to November 2023. The dependent variable in this analysis is ROA, while the independent variables are SukBI, FASBIS, and PUAS. Based on the research findings, over time, the SukBI variable significantly reduces the return on assets (ROA) of Indonesian ShariaCommercial Banks; on the contrary, the FASBIS variable has no significant effect on ROA, and the PUAS variable has no significant effect on ROA. The SukBI and FASBIS factors did not have a significant short-term impact on the ROA of Indonesian Islamic Commercial Banks. Meanwhile, the ROA of Indonesian Islamic Commercial Banks is significantly negatively affected by PUAS.

Abstract

This study explores the understanding of street vendors in Kudus Regency regarding the halal-thayyib paradigm and the challenges they face in its implementation. The research was conducted with 11 informants from various areas: City Walk, Alun-Alun Simpang 7, Pasar Kliwon, Museum Kretek, and Bale Jagong. The data analysis technique used ethnographic analysis to describe the societal situation based on the meanings and values embraced. Observations reveal that street vendors encounter various obstacles, including limited sanitation facilities, the use of supplementary materials with uncertain halal status, and a lack of in-depth understanding of the halal concept. Most street vendors prioritize economic profit over adherence to halal principles. Nevertheless, street vendors have demonstrated increased awareness of halal through socialization and education programs. While halal certification appears to be an appealing prospect, they perceive the costs as high and the procedures as complex. The aspect of religious moderation is reflected in the tolerance among individuals of different faiths, where non-Muslim are aware of halal requirements but still require further education. This study suggests empowering street vendors through religious moderation as a solution to enhance their understanding of halal, while also meeting market demands and improving their economic welfare.

Abstract

This research examines how sharia-compliant investments can minimize risk without sacrificing returns through portfolio optimization. Using the Single Index Model (SIM) and Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), this study evaluates the performance of stocks in the IDX Sharia Growth index from November 2022 to October 2024. Data from 30 companies were analyzed, with stock returns based on daily closing prices, Bank Indonesia Certificates as a proxy for risk-free returns, and the Composite Stock Price Index for market returns. Stocks were ranked based on Excess Return to Beta (ERBi), and the optimal portfolio was determined using the cut-off rate. The results show that the SIM portfolio (12 stocks) offers higher returns with lower risk, while the CAPM portfolio (15 stocks) provides similar returns to individual stocks but with lower risk. The findings confirm that sharia-based portfolio optimization effectively reduces risk while maintaining returns, providing valuable insights for investors seeking sharia-compliant financial strategies.

Abstract

This study addresses the lack of an integrated model connecting Sharia compliance, Islamic business ethics, service quality, and social benefits in Islamic private hospitals. Using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and expert judgments from hospital managers and regulators in Pekanbaru, the research develops a Sharia service strategy model grounded in Islamic business ethics.The findings show that Service Quality has the highest priority (0.261), followed by Maslahah (Social Benefits) (0.252), Sharia Compliance (0.246), and Islamic Business Ethics (0.241), indicating that all dimensions are equally important and mutually reinforcing. This study offers an original integrative framework that combines ethical, regulatory, operational, and social aspects, providing theoretical contributions to Islamic healthcare governance and practical guidance for strengthening Sharia-based hospital services.

Abstract

SMEs are a business sector with an important role in the economy with significant contributions to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and job creation, including in East Java Province as one of the provinces with the 3rd largest number of SMEs in Indonesia. However, the increase of SMEs in Indonesia requires SMEs to survive in a very tight competition. In surviving the competition, the main challenges faced by SMEs to improve their innovation and performance include access to financial resources, ineffective understanding and management of financial management, and utilization of financial products and services. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of Islamic financial literacy, financial inclusion and sharia financial technology on the performance of SMEs in East Java. This study uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 100 people. The analysis technique used is SEM-PLS. The results of study indicate that the performance of SMEs in East Java has a significant effect on Islamic financial literacy, financial inclusion, and sharia financial technology. In addition, there is also mediating effect of financial inclusion on Islamic financial literacy and sharia financial technology on the performances of SMEs in East Java. With this research, it is expected that there will be more education and training programs on Islamic financial literacy, create policies that can encourage financial inclusion and innovate sharia financial technology products adapted to the needs of SMEs through collaboration between the government, Islamic financial institutions, and the community.
