Summary

Introduction

In 2019, the development of Islamic banking in Indonesia experienced a rapid growth (OJK, 2019), the macro and microeconomic conditions experienced a slowdown in various regions (Bank Indonesia, 2019). The growth was driven by multiple factors, ranging from the increasing Islamic banking networks, number of third parties’ funds, and financing performance which nationally stimulated growth in the market share. As an intermediary financial institution, Islamic banks rely on the distribution of funds or financing to benefit their operations. The Islamic bank financing model uses a profit and loss sharing scheme and trade financing. There are differences in risk characteristics between them which affect the amount of profit. According Iqbal and Molyneux (2005), this financing distribution scheme is based on the equity-based financing and debt-based financing
