Abstract

As a province with a majority Muslim population, the Yogyakarta Special Region plays an active role in collecting, managing, and distributing zakat funds to alleviate poverty. However, the amount of zakat funds collected is not commensurate with its potential. This research aims to analyze priority problems, solutions, and strategies in the problem of optimizing the collection of zakat funds carried out by the Amil Zakat Institution (LAZ) in DIY from various aspects. This research uses a mixed method type of research which combines qualitative and quantitative research with data analysis techniques using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method with the help of Super Decisions software. The data sources in this research are primary data and secondary data which include interviews, questionnaire distribution, and document techniques. Sampling in this study used a purposive sampling method by taking six informants consisting of one expert and five zakat practitioners in DIY to formulate priorities in the problem areas, solutions, and strategies for three aspects, namely government, LAZ, and society. The research results show that the priority problem from the government aspect is grand design or strategic planning. Meanwhile, the priority problem in the LAZ aspect is the professionalization of LAZ and the priority problem in society is community intensity. The priority solutions from the government, LAZ, and community aspects are, respectively, standardization of reporting, promotion, and socialization of zakat, and public knowledge. The strategic priorities that need to be carried out sequentially are regulations, facilities, and institutional standardization. This research shows that there is a need for regional regulations governing zakat in DIY, improving amil performance, and increasing public knowledge about zakat.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic factors on price movements in Pegadaian gold accounts, analyze the factors that BPKH must put into consideration when investing in gold, and analyze the better gold instrument that are more recommended for BPKH between gold bullion and gold accounts. The influence of macroeconomic factors’ analysis on the price movement of Pegadaian gold accounts was carried out using a multiple linear regression method with five independent variables, namely international gold prices, inflation rate, rupiah exchange rate against USD, interest rate, economic growth rate, and one dependent variable, namely price Pegadaian gold account. Meanwhile, analysis of the factors that BPKH must pay attention to when investing in gold and gold instruments is carried out using the ANP (Analytic Network Process) qualitative method. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that the international gold price, exchange rate, inflation rate, and economic growth rate have a significant effect on the price of Pegadaian gold accounts. Meanwhile, the interest rate does not have a significant effect on the price of Pegadaian gold accounts. The variables of international gold prices and the Rupiah exchange rate against USD have a positive correlation, while the variables of inflation rate, reference interest rate and economic growth rate have a negative correlation with the price of Pegadaian gold accounts. The results of ANP data processing confirm the results of multiple linear regression analysis, stating that international gold prices, the Rupiah exchange rate against USD, and the inflation rate are the three main macroeconomic factors that influence gold price movements. The results of the ANP questionnaire processing also state that BPKH needs to pay attention to several factors in investing in gold, namely macroeconomic factors, risk factors and sharia compliance factors. As many as 90% of respondents to the ANP questionnaire recommended Pegadaian gold accounts as a better investment instrument for BPKH considering the mitigation of operational risk and is considered more liquid, referring to Pegadaian buyback policy. Meanwhile, 10% of respondents to the ANP questionnaire preferred gold bullion instruments with clearer sharia contract considerations. In order to diversify as well as to maintain asset value when unstable economic conditions occur, BPKH should increase the gold investment portfolio with maximum limit is 5% of the total investment and/or bank placement of hajj fund. When investing in gold, BPKH should pay attention to the movements in macroeconomic factors, namely international gold prices, exchange rates, inflation rate and economic growth rates. BPKH must also pay attention to risk factors and sharia comply of the gold instrument. Apart from the efforts to increase the financial benefits of hajj fund through optimizing gold investment, the percentage of cost paid by pilgrims also plays an important role in supporting the sustainability of hajj fund. In this case, the the percentage of cost paid by pilgrims should be adjusted rationally. Total hajj cost is also a crucial aspect, especially in the main components such as flight costs, hotels and catering. The efficiency of these components can be strived by collaborating with airlines or aviation fuel providers, purchasing hotels/ apartments in Mecca and/or Medina, and establishing catering factories for Indonesian hajj pilgrims. The initiation of these investment can be explored conjointly with the Ministry of Religion as the organizer of Indonesian Hajj pilgrimage.

Abstract

Background: Since the occurrence of covid-19, there has been an acceleration in the transformation of the economic cycle with the digital era transforming conventional economic activities towards the digitization of the economy. This has given rise to financial technology as a concept, giving birth to securities crowdfunding instruments. This cycle has become an alternative for sustainable funding suitable for MSMEs, with funding reaching 1 trillion, supporting 481 business units and involving 160,368 investors. Data as of August 2023 shows funding for business units reaching 268 units, with a breakdown of 10 debt, 59 sukuk, and 199 equity fundings, with a comparative percentage of 78% conventional and 22% Sharia-compliant business units. The organization of this funding faces a legal vacuum in terms of standard screening for the issuance of business units being offered. The impact of this research aims to establish or strengthen regulations on standard screening for funding MSMEs in the securities crowdfunding cycle. Objectives: This research focuses on the standard screening and funding mechanisms of Securities crowdfunding and comparative with capital market. Novelty: In funding MSMEs and startup companies, there are no regulations regarding screening standards for sharia issuers/companies, so it needs to be compared with the screening standards used in the capital market. Research Methodology / Design: The legal problem of "Rechtsvacuum" or void of norms is used as an issue in this research, using normative legal research methods that use a statutory approach and a conceptual approach for data in the form of OJK Regulation No. 57 2020, POJK No. 16 2021 and POJK No. 35 2017 and some data from BEI, KSEI and related sources. Descriptive and comparative analysis is used as an analysis method for these data. Findings: The legal problem of "Rechtsvacuum" or void of norms is used as an issue in this research, using normative legal research methods that use a statutory approach and a conceptual approach for data in the form of OJK Regulation No. 57 2020, POJK No. 16 2021 and POJK No. 35 2017 and some data from BEI, KSEI and related sources. Descriptive and comparative analysis is used as an analysis method for these data. The findings from this research reveal that there are no regulations governing screening standards in core business screening and financial ratio screening, so the guidelines used are Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 35 of 2017 concerning Criteria and List of Sharia Securities Used on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, which applies to public companies and does not apply to private securities crowdfunding cycles. Implication: This could have implications for the preparation of screening standards for MSMEs, Startup Companies and companies that receive funding. OJK can update the standard screening regulations by adjusting the economic cycle of securities crowdfunding for medium-small capital, because the standard screening applied in the capital market cannot be applied to securities crowdfunding on the basis of the regulatory argument used by POJK No. 35 2017 specifically for the capital market, based on theory legality, these regulations cannot be used for securities crowdfunding.
