Islamic financing has been identified as an alternative to conventional financial services. However, the extent to which the Islamic financing model could drive small and medium enterprises' (SMEs) competitiveness has been a significant concern in the existing literature. Hence, this study investigates the impact of Islamic financing on SMEs' competitiveness.Adopting the survey research design, the study investigated 400 SME owners/managers in the Southern part of Nigeria. The study employed the ordinary least square regression in the analysis of data. The result establishes that Islamic finance is a significant driver of SMEs' competitiveness. The results specifically reveal that Islamic finance is critical in driving product price, customer experience, and quality of products. The practical implication of Islamic finance may reduce its operational cost since it comes at a no-interest rate while giving room for more innovative prices and customer-centric products at competitive prices. SMEs are to leverage on the opportunities provided by Islamic finance for them to adopt sustainable business practices

Research aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the credit distribution level used as working capital assistance for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a sample of 8 cities/regencies in East Java. Meanwhile, the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit recipients were the population of the sample areas. This research's analysis model was panel data regression (generalized least square) by considering the emergence of heteroscedasticity in cross-section data between regional objects. The control variables outside the COVID-19 were the BI rate, third-party funds (TPF), and inflation.Research findings: This study’s results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact only on medium-sized business loans, while micro and small business loans are more resilient. Besides, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit was significantly positively influenced by TPF; inflation did not affect credit; the BI rate only negatively affected medium-sized business credit.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Studies on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit-related to economic phenomena and monetary policy have been widely carried out. However, the catastrophic virus that causes long-term economic uncertainty and impacts banks and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) still requires in-depth study. Also, this study employed the GLS model that considers heteroscedasticity, which is still rarely used in previous studies.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research can be essential information for the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan or OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) in policymaking, both regulatory aspects and bank liquidity provision, in stimulating Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic era.Research limitation/implication: The impact of COVID-19 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) loans is still classified based on micro, small and medium. It is still not grouped based on the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) business sector in various cities and regencies in East Java. The analysis has not been clustered based on the spatial concentration of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) recipient areas.

The study also investigates whether the impact of innovation in products and processes on firm performance is affected by financial capital. The method applied is partial least square structural equation modelling. The findings indicate that firm size and the financial capital both moderate and mediate the impact of innovation on firm performance, positively or negatively. The findings have implications for decision makers by highlighting the significance of firm size and financial sources when planning to introduce innovations to enhance firm performance.

The indicators inclusive financial consists of access, usage and quality to realize empowerment through financing and assistance. This research used a descriptive qualitative method, and data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results showed that the financial inclusion component had been implemented but still has many potentials to be maximized. The components of access and usage have been appropriately implemented in terms of physical aspects and prices that are easily accessible to customers. These two components have an impact on increasing customer Islamic financial literacy. In the quality component, product variations are expected to fulfill the different business needs of customers. Meanwhile, financing has not significantly impacted fulfilling the welfare component’s capital needs  because the nominal value is too small. Furthermore, business assistance has a more significant impact on improving the business and spiritual aspects</em><em> of clients</em><em>.</em></p><p align="left"> </p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak penerapan keuangan inklusif pada Bank Wakaf Mikro Al-Fithrah terhadap pemberdayaan UMKM di sekitarnya. Meskipun sektor UMKM telah menjadi fondasi yang cukup sentral bagi perekonomian, keterbatasan permodalan masih menjadi masalah klasik UMKM. Hal ini mendorong pemerintah untuk mengeluarkan Strategi Nasional Keuangan Inklusif yang bertujuan untuk memberikan layanan keuangan yang dapat diakses seluruh lapisan masyarakat. Indikator keuangan inklusif yang terdiri dari akses, penggunaan dan kualitas diterapkan untuk mewujudkan pemberdayaan UMKM melalui pembiayaan dan pendampingan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif melalui pengumpulan data wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komponen keuangan inklusif telah diimplementasikan namun masih berpotensi untuk dimaksimalkan. Komponen akses dan penggunaan sudah terlaksana dengan baik dilihat dari segi fisik dan harga yang mudah dijangkau nasabah. Kedua komponen tersebut berdampak pada peningkatan literasi keuangan syariah nasabah. Pada komponen kualitas, variasi produk diharapkan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan modal nasabah yang berbeda. Sedangkan untuk komponen kesejahteraan, pembiayaan belum memberikan pengaruh signifikan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan permodalan karena nilai nominal yang terlalu kecil. Selain itu, program pendampingan usaha (HALMI) memiliki dampak yang lebih signifikan terhadap peningkatan usaha dan spiritual pelanggan.</p>

Financial inclusion assures easy access to financial services by enabling the disadvantaged and vulnerable sections of the society to actively contribute to development and protect themselves against socio-economic shocks. Nigeria has a sizeable rural poor population with limited access to conventional financial institutions or services. This study investigated the impact of financial inclusion on the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) performance in Nigeria. The survey research design method was used, involving the use of questionnaires, in collecting data from respondents. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square technique. The results show that, whereas financial inclusion positively and significantly impacts the operations and growth of MSMEs, distance to financial services access points and infrastructural deficiency challenged fast and effective access to financial services by MSMEs in Nigeria. The study recommends that deliberate efforts should be made to spread access points to more rural areas and improve infrastructure to promote FI. This should include a policy roadmap for expanding financial services access points to unbanked and underserved areas using the financial services geospatial map. Furthermore, the digitizing of payments across the country should be prioritized to include enhanced ICT/E-banking tools and a consumer protection framework.
