Does Intellectual Capital Efficiency Translate into Financial Performance for Islamic Banks in Indonesia? Evidence from the Pre-Pandemic Period

This study investigates the determinants of financial performance in Indonesian Islamic banks, focusing on the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as key indicators. Utilizing data from Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) and Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI) between 2016 and 2020, the research employs Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis to examine the influence of Human Capital Efficiency (HCE), Structural Capital Efficiency (SCE), and Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE) on FDR and CAR. The findings reveal that while CEE has a statistically significant negative relationship with FDR, the model for CAR lacks a statistically significant fit. This research contributes to understanding the role of intellectual capital in Islamic banking performance and offers insights for stakeholders in the Indonesian Islamic finance sector, with implications for the post-pandemic era.

Normative Review of Economic Democracy In The Indonesian Sharia Banking Legal Framework

This research is a normative review of economic democracy within the legal framework of Indonesian sharia banking. In this context, this article aims to explore how the principles of economic democracy are reflected in the legal regulation of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative approach involving a literature review and legal analysis of sharia banking regulations in Indonesia. The research results show that bank regulations in Law no. 7 of 1992, Law no. 10 and 21 of 1998, as well as other regulations, consistently promote democratic principles in Indonesia's national financial system. The Indonesian sharia banking institutional system which began in December 1983 marked an important first step in integrating sharia principles into the national banking system. Apart from that, the importance of the prudential principle in regulating sharia banking in Indonesia is also emphasized in this research. The precautionary principle aims to ensure that banks operate legally and in accordance with the principles of sharia law, as well as to protect consumer interests. This research provides valuable insight into how economic democracy is reflected in Indonesia's Islamic banking legal framework. The implications of these findings can be used to increase understanding of the importance of economic democracy in building an inclusive and sustainable financial system in Indonesia.

Impact of Risk and Competition on Indonesian Islamic Bank Performance: Panel Data Evidence

This paper examines the impact of banking risk and competition on the performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia. The study used financing to deposit ratio (FDR) as a representation of liquidity risk, non-performing financing (NPF) as a representation of financing risk, and the operating expense ratio (BOPO) as a representation of operational risk. Regarding competition, market share (MS) and market concentration (MC) proxies by the Hirschman–Herfindahl Index (HHI) were used. Time series data were collected from 14 Islamic banks operating in Indonesia for the period 2010–2020 and the Least Square method was used. It was found that liquidity risk affects positively the profit of Islamic banks, while financing risk and operational risk impact negatively the variation of the profit. Only market share, influences the variation in the profit of Islamic banks in terms of competition level. Therefore, the Indonesian government should apply a competition policy to the Islamic banking sector in order to increase their profitability and improve economic growth. For future research, it is recommended to include other Islamic finance institutions like Islamic rural banks and Islamic takaful (Islamic insurance) to analyse these effects in a general way.

Alternatif Pidana dalam Penyelesaian Sengketa Perbankan Syariah di Indonesia

The objective of this text is to understand how conflicts are resolved within the realm of Islamic banking and to devise effective solutions. One prevalent challenge is the occurrence of conflicts or disputes within Islamic banks, which are at times inadequately resolved. The problem statement in this research revolves around criminal activities and dispute resolution within the Islamic banking sector. The research methodology used is qualitative, employing the literature review method or library research. The study findings highlight the significant role of Islamic banking in Indonesia across various domains, especially in the financial activities of communities and the economy, catering to individual needs. Nonetheless, operational difficulties may lead to potential conflicts or disputes. These disputes typically require resolution from both parties involved, namely the bank and the customer, as they share equal roles as stakeholders. Two dispute resolution methods have been identified within Islamic banking: litigation (in court) and non-litigation (outside court). This study identifies the challenges arising in Indonesian Islamic banking and proposes solutions to mitigate them. The two dispute resolution methods suggested by the researchers can be used to overcome challenges in Islamic banking, although each method has its own advantages and disadvantages each approach comes with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Integration of Digital-based Banking Services on Customer Satisfaction (Study of Indonesian Islamic Banks)

The study’s population comprised 18,203 individuals who were registered customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency as of December 2022. The authors decided to use a sample of 100 people because the sampling technique refers to the minimum sample size in PLS-SEM, which is 30-100 sample sizes. A purposive sampling technique was used for the sample withdrawal procedure in order to take into account customers who had saved for about six months. Techniques for gathering data include written data or primary data, interviews, and questionnaires (Google Form). The author used the SmartPLS 4.0 for the data analysis, to demonstrate any partial direct influence between the independent and dependent variables. The study’s findings are as follows: 1) variables related to Islamic banks’ digitalization partially affect banking innovation; 2) variables related to Islamic banks’ digitalization partially affect customer satisfaction; 3) variables related to banking innovation partially affect customer satisfaction; 4) variables related to banking services partially affect banking innovation; 5) variables related to banking service partially affect customer satisfaction; 6) variables related to trust partially affect banking innovation; and 7) variables related to trust partially have no positive and insignificant effect on customer satisfaction. Keywords: Islamic banking digitalization, banking services, trust, banking innovation, customer satisfaction

The Influence of Financing Diversification and Financial Performance on the Risk of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia

This study aims to examine the influence of financing diversification, which includes six financing contracts of Islamic banks in Indonesia and financial performance on credit risk represented by NPF in Islamic commercial banks using regression panel data in 2018-2022. The results of this study indicate that there is an insignificant positive influence on financing diversification and financial performance partially on credit risk in Islamic banking in Indonesia. However, financing diversification and financial performance together have a significant influence on credit risk, which is currently a concern of the Islamic bank financial services authority in Indonesia. The financial performance measurement indicators in this study only focus on ROA, and this indicator may have limitations in measuring the financial performance of Islamic banking.

Sharia Compliance and Profitability in Financial Performance Islamic Banks in Indonesia

This could include banks that had a financial structure that complied with Islamic law, avoids usury, and adhered to the principles of fairness in transactions. 2) Profitability Assessment. Financial analysis has been carried out to assess the profitability of the investigated banks. This could include profitability ratios such as ROA (Return on Assets) and ROE (Return on Equity), as well as the profit growth from year to year. 3) Factors that influenced the Performance as well as the analysis also included an exploration of factors that contributed to bank performance in terms of Sharia compliance and profitability. This could include internal factors such as risk management and operational efficiency, as well as external factors such as market conditions and regulations. The research has practical implications for commercial banks for enhancing performance and adhering to Islamic values in highly profitable banks that strictly adhere to Sharia principles. By examining the connection between Sharia compliance and profitability, this study added to the understanding of the financial performance of Indonesia's Islamic commercial banks.

Analysis of Fatwa Regarding Sharia Credit Cards and Their Relevance to the Development of Islamic Banking in Indonesia and Bahrain

This research aims to analyze fatwas on Sharia credit cards and their relevance to the development of Islamic banking in Indonesia and Bahrain. This qualitative study uses a text and context approach. The main data used are fatwas from DSN-MUI and the Sharia Supervisory Board of Bank Islam Bahrain regarding Sharia credit cards, supported by books, scientific articles, and reports on the development of Islamic banking. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using descriptive analysis. This study concludes that Sharia credit cards, as outlined in the fatwas of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) and the Sharia Supervisory Board of Bank Islam Bahrain (SSB-BIsB), are permissible as transaction tools based on legal principles, contract provisions, wage and service provisions, penalties, and limits in accordance with Sharia principles. Specifically, in Bahrain, fatwas must refer to the standards of the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Finance Institutions (AAOIFI). Currently, the use of Sharia credit cards in Bahrain is experiencing significant growth, while in Indonesia, public interest in using Sharia credit cards remains relatively low. The findings of this research can serve as policy studies for fatwa institutions and Islamic banking to enhance the growth of Sharia credit cards as a Sharia financing instrument for the public, particularly in Indonesia.

PEMBIAYAAN BAGI HASIL: ANALISIS PENGARUH FAKTOR INTERNAL DAN FAKTOR EKSTERNAL BANK SYARIAH

The rapid development of the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia is evident in the substantial share of profit and loss sharing (PLS), particularly when compared to other nations. However, on regional scale, PLS as a primary product of Islamic banks has yet to assert dominance of disbursed financing. Analysis of internal and external factors that influence PLS of Islamic banks in Indonesia will be the focus of the research. The Error Correction Model method was chosen to determine the effects in the short and long term. Time series analysis was carried out in the time period January 2015 to December 2022. This research found that internal factors, Third-Party Funds had a positive and significant effect on PLS in the short and long term. Then Allowance for Impairment Losses in the short term does not have a significant effect but in the long term it has a negative and significant effect. Interestingly, PLS is not sensitive to CAR and economic growth. This research shows the resilience of Islamic banks in facing the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. PLS grew higher in the period after the Covid-19 Pandemic compared to before the Covid-19 Pandemic. The implications of these findings encourage Islamic banks to develop products and services, tighten risk management in the long term, and expand the market share of Islamic banks.

Organisational growth and decline in Indonesian Islamic banks

Purpose This study aims to investigate the growth of Indonesian Islamic banks and explores organisational growth determinants from different perspectives, namely, organisational climate, intellectual capital (IC) and organisational service orientation. The study also attempts to develop a model to measure the growth of Islamic banks and uncovers the root causes of the stagnancy in Indonesian Islamic banking. Design/methodology/approach The study used survey questionnaires distributed to Islamic bank managers, who were considered representative experts in the field of Islamic banking. The data collected were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 21.0), and two analyses were performed with different strategies to build the regression model, namely, multiple linear regression and automatic linear regression. Findings The study found that IC significantly affected Islamic banks’ growth in Indonesia; however, organisational climate and service orientation did not predict such growth. Concerning service orientation as a mediating model, climate or IC had no indirect effect on growth. Research limitations/implications This study’s results contribute to fill the gap by analysing the growth of Islamic banks. Hence, the study results will be especially practical and helpful for Islamic bank managers and policymakers to help develop mechanisms for Islamic banks in Indonesia. Originality/value By combining the aspects of organisational climate, IC and service orientation from earlier studies and categorising them by organisational growth, together with a comprehensive literature review, the study proposes a model specific to Islamic banks. It also offers new insight and discussion for determining organisational growth in Indonesian Islamic banks.

Effect of architecture and efficiency of mobile banking application on the intention to continue using Islamic bank: does data security matter?

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effect of application architecture and application efficiency on the intention to continue using Islamic bank with data security as a moderator. The investigation was situated within the framework of a hacker attack that compromised the security of customer data at one of Indonesia’s largest Islamic bank.Design/methodology/approachA survey questionnaire method was used, and the sample population comprised users of Islamic bank in Indonesia. The respondents were then selected purposively with the criteria of individuals who were using mobile banking services. Furthermore, data collection in this study was carried out by distributing questionnaires online. To validate the questionnaire, consultation and validation were conducted by engaging four experts and conducting a pilot study. Hypothesis testing was performed using the structural equation modeling method based on partial least squares.FindingsThe results of the partial least square structural model assessment showed that application efficiency and data security positively influenced the intention to continue using Islamic bank, while application architecture had no effect. Furthermore, data security could not moderate the relationship between application architecture and efficiency toward the intention to continue using Islamic bank.Practical implicationsThe results of this study suggested that Islamic banking practitioners must prioritize the enhancement of digital banking services, with a specific focus on improving application efficiency and ensuring robust data security. These two dimensions were critical determinants influencing the intention to continue using Islamic bank.Originality/valueThis study addressed the issue of data security as a moderator, particularly in the context of hacker attacks targeting a major Islamic bank in Indonesia. Furthermore, this current report expounded on the study conducted by Mir et al. (2022) by introducing novel dimensions to the e-service quality of internet banking.

Ziyadah from an Islamic Perspective (Case study at BMT Al-Rifa’ie)

Islamic banking principles emerge primarily from the unequivocal prohibition of riba (usury) in the Quran. The Indonesian government has bolstered Islamic banking with legal frameworks, beginning with Law No. 7 of 1992, later replaced by Law No. 10 of 1998, providing a robust legal basis for its operations. The evolution of Islamic banking in Indonesia started with the establishment of Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI) on November 1, 1991, which catalyzed the rise of Islamic financial institutions such as Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil (BMT). Interest (riba) is forbidden in Islam due to the additional or ziyadah interest charged on loan transactions. BMT, operating as an Islamic financial institution, eschews interest in favor of profit-sharing systems. The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has issued several fatwas related to ziyadah, including MUI Fatwa No. 1 of 2004. This research, conducted at BMT Al-Rifa’ie, adopts a qualitative approach with a historical hermeneutic analysis. Informants include seven individuals from management, customers, and the MUI. The study concludes that the ziyadah practices at BMT Al-Rifa’ie align with Islamic principles.

Gold-based housing financing model: proposing an alternative housing financing model for Islamic bank

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new housing finance mechanism through gold price as an alternative to interest rate in Islamic home financing, especially on Bai’Bithaman Ajil (BBA) contract. Design/methodology/approach This study using simulation approach to calculate the monthly installments for home financing using gold price references. In simple terms, propose a financing formula in the BBA contract by converting the selling price of the house to the gold price, and then the monthly installments also follow the actual gold price. The authors provide an example by simulating this formula using historical data and cases of housing financing at Indonesian Islamic banks. The authors compare housing financing models based on gold prices and interest rates. Finally, The authors can compare the two housing financing models that are affordable for low-income people. Findings The results show that in the initial period, monthly installments of BBA based on gold price were lower than home financing based on interest rate. This result makes it possible for low-income people who cannot access financing based on interest rates to access financing based on gold price. However, the total installments of financing based on gold prices are higher than the financing model based on interest rates. Research limitations/implications The paper confines one contract, namely, BBA, as it is claimed to be more Shariah-compliant than others. Practical implications These findings suggest an alternative model for Islamic banks and regulatory authorities in Indonesia to replace the interest rate reference with the gold price in BBA contract housing financing. This model can offer competitive advantages for Islamic banks, including lower initial installments and inflation-protected profits, serving as a means of differentiating them from conventional banks. Social implications Gold price-based housing financing model in Islamic banks will increase the affordability of housing financing for low-income people. Originality/value This paper tries to solve two problems, namely, first, the problem of assuming that Islamic and conventional banks are the same, and second, the problem of housing finance affordability. This study needs to be explored.

Determinants Of Islamic Bank Financing During Economic Turbulence

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused turbulence in Indonesia's economic growth, thereby disrupting the performance of Islamic banks, especially in the distribution of financing. This research examines the influence of economic turbulence, third-party deposits, bank size, capital and profitability on financing disbursed by Islamic banks in Indonesia. The population of this research is Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia in the 2017-2022 period. The sample selection used a purposive sampling method and obtained ten Islamic banks. The data analysis technique uses panel data analysis with a fixed effect model. The research results prove that third-party deposits positively and significantly impact financing, while bank size and capital negatively and significantly impact financing. However, economic turbulence and profitability do not affect financing. When financing is divided based on contracts, economic turbulence negatively impacts profit-sharing-based financing, and profitability negatively impacts receivables-based financing. These findings can be a reference for Islamic banks to maintain the availability of third-party deposit funds to support financing expansion and further optimize their capital by channelling it to more productive assets in the form of financing. These findings can complement existing theories and support the business cycle theory that Islamic banks tighten financing based on profit sharing, which carries higher risks.

Good Corporate Governance Toward Financial Performance Of Islamic Bank In Indonesia

This research aims to analyze the influence of good corporate governance (GCG) on the financial performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative approach. The population in this research is 16 Islamic banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) for the 2021-2022 period. The sample used was 10 Islamic banks that issued quarterly report data. Sample selection was carried out using the purposive sampling method. The data collection technique uses secondary data in Islamic bank documentation and is processed using the SPSS 25 application with multiple linear regression tests. The results of this research are that the board of commissioners has a negative effect on the financial performance of Islamic banks, and the board of directors has a positive effect on the financial performance of Islamic banks. In contrast, the Sharia supervisory board does not affect the financial performance of Islamic banks. Theoretical research can complement existing theories and be a reference for future research. This research can be a reference for Islamic banking in analyzing corporate governance standards to provide investors with more knowledge and understanding about the financial performance of Islamic banking and enable investors to make the right decisions.
