This article aims to examine the principal parameters that impact the liquidity risk incurred by Islamic banks in the UAE. The study examines annual data from four Islamic banks in the UAE. The Data is extracted from their annual activity reports and financial results. A multiple linear regression model is used to assess the impact of six bank-specific variables (Return on Equity, return on assets, size of the bank, liquidity gaps, non-performing loans and capital adequacy ratio) on the liquidity risk of UAE Islamic banks. The designed model shows that ROA and NPL negatively impact the liquidity risk of the studied banks, while the other determinants, namely size, ROE, liquidity gaps and CAR contribute to the improvement of liquidity of UAE banks. Thus, our empirical results complement the existing studies related to the analysis of liquidity risk determinants incurred by Islamic banks operating in the MENA region, especially Emirati banks.

A strong capital adequacy ratio is crucial to a financial institution's success and helps it to survive any potential financial crisis. From Q1 2017 to Q4 2019, the influence of the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on the performance of Commercial Islamic Banks in MENA nations (Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan) is examined. The performance measures utilized in this study are Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The study's sample frame comprises all Islamic commercial banks in the designated MENA nations, with a sample size of 18 Islamic commercial banks. Panel data, fixed and random models, are applied in this study since there are multiple entities and time series. The findings of the study showed that the selected Islamic banks are committed to Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) which is defined under Basel III. This is considered the largest percentage regulated by the Basel Committee. The study also found that there is a statistically negative significant influence of CAR on both performance indicators ROE and ROA in the commercial Islamic banks in the selected MENA countries. The results of the study can be useful to a policymaker or decision-makers in the Islamic Banks industry. First, the research could be a reference to financial regulators such as central banks which may use the findings to provide regulation on optimal capital levels for local banks in terms of regulations, deregulations, and financial disruption. Next, the practice implications in the Islamic banking sector will provide them with insight as to how a bank’s capital influences its earnings. Hence, management can work towards attaining an optimal structure that maximizes their performance as well as identifying “best” and “worst” practices associated with capitalization levels.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the main factors that affect liquidity risk in the UAE Islamic banks. Design/methodology/approach The study examines the annual data of the seven UAE Islamic banks over the period 2008-2014. Random effects panel data model is used to estimate the impact of four bank-specific variables and two macroeconomic ones on the liquidity risk of the UAE Islamic banks via their impact on five alternative liquidity ratios. Findings The paper finds that bank size has a negative impact on liquidity risk according to two liquidity ratios only, and an insignificant impact according to the other three. Both capital adequacy and London interbank offered rate have significant negative impacts on liquidity risk for three liquidity ratios, and insignificant impacts on two. The effect of credit risk is negative for all adopted ratios, while that of return on assets is negative for one ratio only. Finally, real GDP has a positive effect on two ratios and an insignificant one on the others. Research limitations/implications The study provides insights for policymakers and practitioners to choose appropriate liquidity management procedures. It emphasizes that identifying efficient procedures or policies depends on the liquidity ratio that is used as a proxy of liquidity risk and its definition, in addition to the correlation between the liquidity ratio and liquidity risk. The study also provides some guidance to Islamic banks in the UAE concerning the main factors impacting their liquidity, which can eventually enable them to support their liquidity management policies, in a way that would expand their customer base according to profitability aspects, and not only religious ones. Originality/value The paper adds to the relatively limited literature on liquidity risk in Islamic banks. It also is the first study that investigates the determinants of liquidity risk facing Islamic banks in the UAE using five alternative liquidity ratios.

Abstract The banking sector has a very important position for the economic systemof a country. The banking system, which is part of the financial system willaffect the course of the economic system as a whole. If the banking system isweak then the system will also be weak economy. Banking is an intermediaryinstitution is the institution that channel funds from surplus funds (surplusunits) to the sectors that lack of funds (defi cit units). With the banking economic actors in need of funds can be met so that the economy can continue to run. In this study will specifi cally analyze the comparison of the level of profi tability of the asset-liability management in Islamic banks and conventional banks are seen from the return on assets and return on equity rises. It also will be studied comparative level of liquidity in Islamic banks and conventional banks are seen from the loan to deposit ratio and Capital Adequacy Ratio. By Hyphothesis is as follows : Ha1: there are differences in the level of profitability of the asset-liabilitymanagement in Islamic banks and conventional banks are seen from the return on assets and return on equity Ha2: there are differences in the level of liquidity in Islamic banks andconventional banks are seen from the loan to deposit ratio and Capital Adequacy Ratio Data analysis has been done obtained the following conclusions, based onmeans testing compare with test Independent-Samples t-test showed that the level of tability seen from ROA and ROE between Islamic Bank and Bank Konvensiona show any signifi cant difference. This is demonstrated by tests of signifi cance 0.02 0.05 for FDR, while for the signifi cance test CAR of 0.38> 0.05.

Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) epitomize the most significant source of financing in our economy. NBFI is highly levered in nature. This study tries to empirically identify how capital adequacy and leverage impact NBFIs’ performance in Bangladesh. A number of econometric models using panel data from 2009 to 2019 of 23 NBFIs of Bangladesh have been estimated to achieve the objective of this study. In this research, Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Tobin’s Q are used as a measure of NBFIs performance of Bangladesh. According to estimated result it has been found that capital adequacy has a positive effect on profitability of NBFI’s in Bangladesh. However, the research has found conflicting results when impact of leverage on NBFI performance is measured. Taking the empirical findings into consideration, the management of the NBFIs should embrace policies that are likely to help the NBFIs to maintain enough capital. Keywords: leverage, capital adequacy, NBFI performance, profitability, NBFI equity

Liquidity risk may arise from diverse operations of financial intermediaries, facilitators and supporters as they are fully liable to make available liquidity when required by the third party. Incase of Islamic Banks additional efforts are required for scaling liquidity management due to their unique characteristics and conformity with Shariah principles. The objective of this study is to look into the liquidity risk associated with the solvency of the financial institutions, with a purpose to evaluate liquidity risk management (LRM) through a comparative analysis between conventional and Islamic banks of Bangladesh. This paper investigates the significance of Size of the Firm, Net Working Capital, Return on Equity, Capital Adequacy and Return on Assets (ROA), on Liquidity Risk Management in conventional and Islamic banks in Bangladesh. The study has taken six mid-size banks- three conventional and three Islamic banks as samples. It is based on secondary data which are collected from the selected banks’ annual reports, covering a period of 2007-2011. Independent variables that have positive but insignificant relation are; size of the bank and net working capital to liquidity risk in Islamic banks and in case of conventional banks size of bank is negatively related with the liquidity risk. Only return on assets is positively affecting the liquidity risk at 10% level in case of conventional banks, but in Islamic banks the relationship is insignificant. The other variables are found to be insignificant in affecting the liquidity risk for both the conventional and Islamic banks in BangladeshJournal of Business and Technology (Dhaka) Vol.10(2) 2015; 18-35

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically assess the impact of the principle of profit- and loss-sharing (PLS) on the exposure to liquidity risk of Islamic banks in Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) countries. The Islamic bank activity is distinguished by a PLS principle, which is likely to involve specificities in the bank liquidity issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper investigates the determinants of Islamic bank liquidity over the period 2005–2016 using a panel of 23 Islamic banks in GCC. The system of generalized method of moment estimators is applied. Findings The findings reveal that while profit-sharing investment accounts (PSIAs) are inversely proportional to Islamic bank liquidity, the PLS investment does not seem to act as a determinant of the bank liquidity. The fact that PSIAs are globally short-run accounts, but finance long-run projects leads to a substantial maturity mismatches, which limits the availability of liquidity buffer and exacerbates the bank’s exposure to liquidity risk. Moreover, capital adequacy ratio has significant and positive association with bank liquidity, as a strong capital ratio helps to strengthen the liquidity control. However, return on assets has a negative significant impact on bank liquidity. For instance, if the bank holds more cash, it deprives itself from placing funds and earning returns, which causes its profitability to decline. Practical implications This paper gives further insights to better improve the liquidity risk management in a context of scarcity of Shariah-compliant instruments. Islamic bank needs to determine the PLS purpose and goals to be consistent with the “bank’s financing policy” and convince its depositors to use their deposits for medium and long-run investments. Originality/value Unlike previous empirical research, this investigation tries to better grasp the Islamic bank liquidity issue by focusing on the PLS impact on liquidity risk. It aims to fill in the gap in the empirical literature on this topic.

This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on the performance and stability of conventional and Islamic banks. The sample included all the 21 listed Islamic banks (IBs) and 44 listed conventional banks (CBs) from the GCC region, Malaysia, and Pakistan. Quarterly data of these banks covering the period January 2019 to June 2020 were obtained from their quarterly reports. Performance was measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), while stability was measured by the Z-scores of these banks. Based on the previous literature, a better performance of IBs was expected because these banks are based on the participatory mode of financing instead of debt-based financing. However, the results of the current study showed a significant and negative impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of both types of banks, suggesting that either type of banking was significantly affected during the pandemic. However, we did not find any significant evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on the stability of these banks.
