Abstract

One of the reasons for the low public transactions in Islamic banks is their low Islamic financial literacy. Financial literacy is the level of knowledge, skills, trust in financial institutions, along with their products and services. The objective of this research is to understand the role of BMT in increasing Islamic financial literacy among society. This study is field research in nature. The study employed descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach, and the data were collected through interviews and documentation. The study was conducted in BMT Amanah Ummat Taram, Kecamatan Harau, Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota. The result showed that Islamic financial literacy is of the utmost importance in society. The society could carry out economic activities under Islamic law and start to move from conventional financial institutions to Islamic financial institutions, such as BMT. Efforts have been taken by BMT to increase Islamic financial literacy. These efforts are the socialization of the Islamic economy, communal Qur’an reading, and skill coaching to improve the quality of internal human resources. Improvements in BMT efforts are including introducing transaction agreements and BMT products to increase customers’ knowledge, promoting products and services through social media to increase customers’ trust, and educating financial management and saving to increase customers’ skills. The main obstacles faced by BMT in their efforts increase Islamic financial literacy is the mindset of the society, education, and lack of skilled and competent staff.

Then the concept can be used as an analysis for the role of governmentas a regulator of the market. This research is a library research with a qualitative approach. The analysisprocess will be described using the content analysis technique. The impact arising from the practice ofihtikar is the practice of ihtikar disrupting the smooth transactions in the market, where producers gethuge profits while consumers suffer losses because producers take profits above the price they should. Thepractice of ihtikar will disrupt the market mechanism, where producers will then sell at a price higherthan the normal price.
