The main purpose of this study is to make a comparison between Islamic banks (IBs) and Conventional banks (CBs) in Bangladesh based on its efficiency in operation. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed under CRS and VRS approach, which allows for the decomposition of efficiency into technical, allocated and cost efficiency. The study also measures changes in productivity over the time as a result of technical progress by employing the Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index. The results explain that the technical efficiency of IBs is better than that of CBs, but allocated and cost efficiency (CE) of IBs are higher than CBs. In Bangladesh there are 62 commercial banks included 8 Islamic Banks that are regulated by Bangladesh Bank (BB).

The performance of Islamic banks during the Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the financial soundness of Islamic Banks. Islamic Banks in Indonesia should restructure the Financing (PYD) which results in the acquisition of revenue and net profit received by the bank. The aims of this study are to analyze the soundness of Bank BNI Syariah using the CAMEL, RGEC method, the level of cost efficiency and profitability. Then also measured the potential for BNIS bankruptcy with the Altman Z-Score model. The potential risk of bankruptcy in Islamic Banks is very possible if bank management during the Covid-19 pandemic are not carried out properly and professionally. Secondary data is used during the period 2015 to 2020 to analyze the performance of Islamic Banks before the pandemic and during the pandemic. The results of the CAMEL and RGEC analysis show that soundness conditions varied from "Not Very Good" to "Very Good" from 2015 to 2020. In 2020 the soundness condition of BNIS is "Fairly Good". Meanwhile, the Altman Z-Score shows that BNIS is experiencing a “Not Bankrupt” condition, the level of bank efficiency is “High” and at analysis of profitability as reflected by the ROA ratio, ROE during the pandemic has decreased.

Profitability of Islamic banks has a significant effect on banks current and future decisions that do not only associate with shareholders and management, but also for various types of stakeholders. Despite that, scholars are not yet in agreement on common determinants of profitability in banking industry. This study aims to investigate the effect of bank-specific and industry characteristics along with macroeconomic variable (the inflation) on the profitability of a sample of 10 Islamic banks in Sudan. The study applied descriptive statistics, Persons’ correlation and multiple regression analysis on secondary data in order to determine the relationships and degree of significant of the independent variables to profitability. The profitability has been measured by two models; as return on assets (ROA) and net profit margin (NMP). The results reveal that bank capitalization (EQTA), operational cost efficiency (OCOI), investment in short-term securities (SECA) and inflation (INF) variables are significantly affecting the profitability of Islamic banks in Sudan. In contrary, the deposit-size of the bank (as market share) is not a significant determinant of banks’ profitability. Furthermore, the results indicate that quality of credit loan (NPL) is highly significant to NPM, while it is insignificant to ROA.

PurposeThis study aims to extend the literature by simultaneously investigating the relationship between risk, efficiency and capital in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) dual banking system.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs the simultaneous-equation modeling technique with a three-stage least square estimator on 60 listed GCC commercial banks from 2005 through 2018.FindingsAlthough GCC Islamic banks are more capitalized and liquid, they are riskier and less efficient than GCC conventional banks. Moreover, a higher level of capital reduces the insolvency and credit risk of GCC banks for both types of banks. However, it enhances the cost efficiency of GCC conventional banks only. GCC conventional banks also exhibit skimping behavior, while for GCC Islamic banks, cost efficiency is negatively associated with bank risk. This implies that the risk-taking behavior in Islamic banks is prompted by the incentives of the shareholders following the risk-sharing nature of Islamic banking.Originality/valueThis study differs from previous studies in many aspects. First, it relies on a recent long data set that covers the implementation of the accords of Basel II (introduced in 2004) and Basel III (introduced in 2010). Second, it estimates the efficiency of GCC banks based on separate frontiers for Islamic and conventional banks, ensuring the robustness of the results. In conclusion, to the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the intertemporal relationship between risk, efficiency and capital in the GCC dual banking industry.

This study aims to examine the determinants of <em>maqasid shariah</em> based performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia. The data was extracted from the published annual audited reports of Islamic banks in Indonesia during the period 2014-2017. This research used correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to examine the proposed hypotheses. <em>Maqasid shariah</em> based performance was proxied by <em>maqasid index</em>. The proposed factors as determinants of <em>maqasid shariah</em> based performance are profit loss sharing financing, cost efficiency, and risk taking behavior. The results of this research revealed that profit sharing financing positively influences <em>maqasid shariah</em> based performance, but risk taking behavior has a negative impact. Cost efficiency does not influence <em>maqasid shariah</em> based performance. The implication of this finding is that Islamic banks should have commitment to realize <em>maqasid shariah</em> through increasing their profit loss sharing financing in the <em>mudharabah</em> and <em>musharakah</em> modes

Entering the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, the Islamic banking in Indonesia is expected to have better performance to compete sustainably with local banks and foreign. The performance of the banks using the cost efficiency approach with a focus on two inputs (cost of fund and cost of labor) and the two outputs (total financing and owned securities). Using Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on Islamic Banks during the period of January 2010 to December 2013, the result shows that the level of efficiency of the Islamic banks in Indonesia is not optimal. Our calculation shows different result for both method (SFA and DEA), where the highest efficiency levels using SFA methodis Bank Mega Syariah, while with the DEA method is Bank Muamalat Indonesia. Leaving some option of strategies to improve their cost efficiency; this includes increasing their assets, increasing deposits, and cut cost the unnecessarily cost. More strategy includes product innovation, reducing the salary of the board of directors, and put the funds in profitable portfolio. For the authorities, this paper has demonstrated the use of frontier approach as good alternative in assessing the performance of the banks.

The concept of cost efficiency has become tremendously popular in data envelopment analysis (DEA) as it serves to assess a decision-making unit (DMU) in terms of producing minimum-cost outputs. A large variety of precise and imprecise models have been put forward to measure cost efficiency for the DMUs which have a role in constructing the production possibility set; yet, there’s not an extensive literature on the cost efficiency (CE) measurement for sample DMUs (SDMUs). In an effort to remedy the shortcomings of current models, herein is introduced a generalized cost efficiency model that is capable of operating in a fuzzy environment-involving different types of fuzzy numbers-while preserving the Farrell’s decomposition of cost efficiency. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the present paper is the first to measure cost efficiency by using vectors. Ultimately, a useful example is provided to confirm the applicability of the proposed methods.

Abstract: The rapid development of the number of islamic banks should be balanced with the availability of infrastructure to carry out daily operational practices. The operational tools include hardware as like as representative office, computerized system, reliable human resources and software as like as method, culture and financial and islamic banking knowledge. In terms of development of Islamic finance is the paper "Alternative Calculation of Return Shahibul Mal on Mudharabah Scheme on Bank Syariah" was written. During this calculation of return shahibul mal has not been standardized in a formula, thus causing two serious effects. First, in the theoretical level, the formula has not yet created a difficulty. Secondly, in practical level, the formula is not impressive enough to recalculate the complexity of return calculations obtained by shahibul mall, causing laziness of the community using the services of islamic bank. This paper using mathematical and arithmetic equations with the help of modeling made by the author to refine and improve the method of calculation that has been available. The purpose of this paper is to create a standard formula that facilitates the calculation of return earned by a shahibul mal in a mudaraba scheme in a islamic bank.
