Abstract

Financial technology is a part of digital ecosystem which development is rapid and massive, so does the sharia fintech. However, conventional and sharia fintech are two different systems and should have each regulation. The problem is if sharia fintech regulations in Indonesia is appropriate. Then what about Malaysia which are considered successful in developing the sharia fintech. This study compares sharia fintech regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The aim is to find out the readiness of Indonesia and Malaysia in supporting the sharia fintech trend realized in the regulations. This is a qualitative research using books and academic articles as an addition to the literature and regulations as the analytical method. The results indicate that Indonesia and Malaysia try to accommodate sharia fintech regulations. Indonesia still uses The Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) and Bank Indonesia regulations, both of which do not meet the sharia principles. Meanwhile, Malaysia uses the 2013 Islamic Financial Services Act (IFSA), a law to regulate sharia compliance of the Islamic financial services sector, including the Sharia Fintech. In addition, Malaysia also has a Sharia Advisory Council as a supervisor for the Islamic financial services implementations. Malaysia’s and Indonesia’s regulations have yet answered the sharia fintech developments. Financial technology merupakan bagian dari ekosistem digital yang perkembangannya sangat pesat dan masif, tak terkecuali fintech syariah. Namun, fintech konvensional dan syariah adalah dua sistem yang berbeda dan seharusnya memiliki peraturan yang berbeda pula. Permasalahannya apakah regulasi fintech syariah di Indonesia sudah tepat apa belum, lalu bagaimana dengan regulasi di Malaysia yang dianggap berhasil mengembangkan fintech syariah. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui sejauhmana kesiapan Indonesia dan Malaysia dalam mendukung trend fintech syariah dalam regulasi. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan buku dan artikel akademis sebagai tambahan literatur dan peraturan sebagai metode analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia dan Malaysia sama-sama berusaha mengakomodasi regulasi. Indonesia masih menggunakan Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan dan Peraturan Bank Indonesia, dan belum memenuhi prinsip syariah. Malaysia menggunakan Islamic Financial Services Act (IFSA) 2013, sebuah Undang-Undang yang mengatur kepatuhan syariah dari sektor jasa keuangan Islam. Malaysia juga memiliki Dewan Pertimbangan Syariah sebagai pengawas pelaksanaan jasa keuangan Islam. Regulasi yang dimiliki oleh Malaysia dan Indonesia belum menjawab perkembangan fintech syariah.

Abstract

Using a bounds testing approach to the cointegration and error correction method developed within the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework, this paper analyses the short- and long-run dynamic relationships between Islamic financial development and economic growth in Nigeria. Quarterly time-series data (2012:1 to 2019:3) are employed for the variables, together with non-interest bank financing to the private sector and real gross domestic product as indicators of Islamic financial development and economic growth respectively. The results indicate a significant short- and long-run relationship between Islamic financial development and economic growth. The relationship, however, is neither Schumpeter’s supply-leading nor Robinson’s demand-following type; rather, it appears to be bi-directional. In addition, empirical evidence is found that underscores the important role of Islamic bank financing in the economic performance of Nigeria. The paper recommends that improvement of the Islamic financial system in Nigeria may foster economic development and enhance welfare and poverty alleviation in the long run.

Abstract

Despite the considerable resources devoted to SMEs by Islamic banks worldwide, and Nigeria in particular, there has been no rigorous empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of Islamic banking inclusion on employment growth in SMEs globally. This study fills this gap by analysing the effectiveness of access to Islamic banking financing in promoting MSME's growth in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria. We focus on the impact of the credit lines facilitated by Jaiz Bank Plc in fostering firms’ growth measured in terms of employment. A survey based on a quasi- experimental approach was employed and the data were collected by means of a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 385 MSMEs' beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of Islamic bank financing in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria. Using difference-in-difference and propensity score matching techniques to deal with selection bias, the study found significant positive effects on MSMEs’ employment growth. In addition, the paper highlights the important role of Islamic bank financing in mitigating the unemployment crisis in Nigeria. The paper recommends that improvement of the Islamic banking system by employing PLS financing, especially Musharaka, could foster MSMEs' financial inclusion and job creation.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the factors that influence non-performing financing (NPF) at Islamic rural banks (BPR) in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data used in this study was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely in 2020. This study uses a data panel consisting of 128 Sharia BPRs throughout Indonesia. The analysis used is panel data analysis by choosing the best model between common effect (CE), fixed effect (FE), and random effect (FE). Data analysis was also carried out on: (1) large and small Sharia BPRs; (2) BPR located on the island of Java and outside the island of Java. The results found that the variable that had a strong influence on NPF during the covid-19 pandemic was economic growth as proxied by Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). Bank size shows a negative and significant effect. FDR shows a positive and significant effect.  Operational efficiency ratio (OER/BOPO) has a positive but not significant effect. Based on these results, it is necessary to mitigate financial problems, especially changes in macroeconomic conditions such as economic growth. This study also shows that there are differences in the variables that affect the size of small and large banks, as well as those in Java and those outside Java. This result can be a reference for Sharia BPR in mitigating financing risk.
