This study aims to analyze the challenges of the dual banking system during macroeconomic fluctuations. By using the default probability mapping method and macroeconomic stress testing, we can measure the stability of the financial system through credit calculation. In addition, by using the stress test method, we can find information about the characteristics of the financial system in crises and its financial-related assistance in the financial system. Considering if a financial system can detect it early, the government can take preventative measures to minimize the consequences. The results of the study show that Islamic banking has a higher default probability than conventional banking. So it can be concluded that the current stability of Islamic banking is not better than conventional banking. Our findings suggest that inflation is only a macroeconomic variable that has a high level of sensitivity to the default probability of banks. Moreover, Islamic and conventional banking have different responses to the sensitivity of inflationary interventions.

This paper discusses the legitimacy of securitizing the central bank receivables from the government and banking system in the Iranian financial market and making use of this instrument to conduct monetary policy. Ijtihad or independent jurisprudential reasoning based on Imamiah Fiqh (prevailing in the Iranian Islamic banking system), is used as paper methodology. The results show that considering the jurisprudential ‘ownership unity’ between the central bank, the government, and governmental banks in the Iranian banking system, securitizing the central bank receivables from the government or the governmental banks is not legitimate and not Shariah-compliant. Nevertheless, it is possible to issue debt-sale securities based on the debts of private banks to the central bank. Therefore, issuing debt-sale securities based on central bank receivables from the private banks can be considered a suitable instrument for conducting Shariah-compliant monetary policy in the Islamic banking system of Iran. This paper discusses for the first time the idea of issuing debt-sale securities as a monetary policy instrument in the Iranian financial system. Besides, the analysis is based on the Imamiah School of Fiqh, which is also new.

Purpose – The aim of this study is to analyse the transformation of the Ecuadorian financial system using the regulatory dialectic approach (Kane, 1977). This research examines the initial conditions and motivating factors of the reform process, as well as the interplay between government and bankers during the period 2007-2012. Design/methodology/approach – Kane’s regulatory dialectic suggests that regulation of financial institutions is a series of cyclical interactions between opposing political and economic forces. Three main stages are identified: thesis (measures and regulatory actions), antithesis (avoidance/lobby against those reforms) and synthesis (adaptive reregulation resulting from the interaction between interest groups). Findings – Since 2007, the government focused on regulating interest rates, developing a liquidity fund for banking emergencies, increasing taxation and restricting international capital flows. These government initiatives took place against a background of conflicting interests. Private bankers opposed the majority regarding them as burdensome new rules, rather than enlightened reforms. Publicly, these reforms as intended by the government were seemingly supported. Finally through the political process, they were approved. To date, these reforms have strengthened the financial system, produced encouraging social policy results and placed the financial sector to serve the government’s development strategy. Originality/value – Using Kane’s notion of regulatory dialectic, we explain the process of financial reform in Ecuador as part of a cyclical interaction between opposing forces. Drawing on this framework enabled insight into the nature of government intervention. Hence, we show how that intervention affected the growth, development and structure of the banking system.

This study aims to assess the determinants of liquidity risk in the full-fledged Islamic banking system of Sudan, using panel data regression. The dependent variable in this research is the liquidity risk, which is determined as the extreme excess or extreme shortage of liquidity in each bank, based on the VaR approach, and the independent variables are bank size, investment, profit, and the budget deficit during the period 2012-2016. The authors’ findings indicate the bankspecific variables such as the size, investment, and profit are statistically significant, whereas the budget deficit variable is negatively associated with liquidity risk but is insignificant. The insignificance of the budget deficit variable is an indication of the government reliance on its deficit financing on debt financing, i.e., excessive money creation, as contrary to equity financing. Also indicated in the paper is that the investment variable has a positive and significant effect on liquidity risk, indicating that Islamic banks’ investment portfolios are dominated by short-term securities (sikook). This result supports the findings in the literature that investment portfolios in Islamic banks are likely to be dominated by short-term investment securities as a result of the absence of risk-hedging tools in the Islamic banking system, in general. The finding in the paper also indicates a positive and significant sign of profit coefficient with liquidity risk, which is similar to the positive association between higher risk and higher earnings relationships portrayed in the literature of corporate finance. The effect of the size indicator on liquidity risk reveals a positive and significant association, implying that larger banks are more likely to face liquidity risks of shortage as well as excess liquidity.

The current condition of economic openness is both an opportunity and a challenge that must be faced wisely by the government. Liberalization and economic integration will have an impact on financial market liberalization, which is highly vulnerable to create crisis in a banking system. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the stability of the financial system in Indonesia by using the Error Correction Model (ECM). The variables used in this research is Capital Banking Credit sourced from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and Exchange Rate, Inflation, and Money Supply sourced from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) between 2010 and 2015. The results of the study show that; 1) ECT coefficient which has negative and significant value explains that the model is valid. 2) Inflation significantly affects the stability of the financial system in Indonesia in the long and short term

Article analyzes the activities of Islamic banks in the post-crisis period, both in the global Islamic banking sector as a whole, and in the context of individual countries in which Islamic banks are predominantly or significantly represented, as well as financial risks that pose a threat of losses for Islamic banks. It has been concluded that the Islamic financial system is becoming one of the most important components of the international financial system, and Islamic banks within the global financial system are becoming more recognized and competitive, as they demonstrate a sufficiently high efficiency and stability of activity, a positive trend of development. Analysis found that Islamic banking has demonstrated its reliability and stability in the post-crisis period and continues to be a viable and effective mechanism of financial intermediation in the conditions of global financial system instability. The differences in the functioning and performance of Islamic banks in different countries within a single consolidated Islamic banking system have been revealed, a comparative analysis effectiveness of banking sectors a number of Muslim countries has been given, the directions of development of Islamic banking in them have been shown. Conclusions have been drawn on the need for Islamic banks to introduce effective mechanisms for monitoring and managing financial and investment risks in order to increase their ability to withstand adverse external factors, since in the future, despite the positive trends in the activities of Islamic banks, there are potential financial risks due to the growth of their current costs associated with the possibility of potential deterioration in the quality of assets and reduction in the level of profit.

When the Islamic bank was first established in 1963, they realised leveraging on the conventional platform was an easy way out to create an Islamic banking system. Despite of financial outcry, multiplications, and lack of welfare on the customers, the bank continues championing the financial system. Behaving as an alternative to the conventional financing, Islamic banking is no different. With all the conventional guidelines and controlled regulations of IMF and the World Bank, the Islamic bank's hands are tied. Nothing much has been done to ensure a complete move out to assist customers in getting ‘good financing facility,' which is humane in nature. This chapter is an attempt to explore Zakat Bank out of banking furore using a Zakat platform. The finding suggests that the establishment of Zakat Bank is crucial to ensure the true financing based on Shariah principles and guidelines. This chapter adopts library research including reports and guidelines from the financial regulators. The chapter concludes with a proposed model for a Zakat Bank for authority's consideration.

Tax Amnesty Program initiated by the government from 2016 to 2017, showed quite encouraging results. Big asset declaration could increase the future tax base, and asset repatriation is also expected to encourage the growth of the economy in the short term. Incoming repatriation funds, as a result of tax amnesty, are expected to have an impact on the financial system, particularly in the banking sector to add liquidity or third party funds (DPK). The research attempts to show the response of banks in the event of an increase in liquidity in the financial system and how government policies and monetary authorities maintain financial system stability after tax amnesty programs or when liquidity fluctuations in the financial system occur. The dynamic linkage of bank indicators is modeled by the Panel-Vector-Autoregressive (p-VAR) framework. The results of the analysis of the bank's response showed that liquidity changes or liquidity fluctuations in the financial system does not significantly affect to Risk Profile indicators, Profitability indicators, Capital Indicators in the banking system. This conditions shows that the financial system, especially the banking system, has a strong fundamental to reduce the liquidity turmoil in the financial system. Abstrak Program Pengampunan Pajak yang dilaksanakan pemerintah mulai tahun 2016 sampai dengan 2017 menunjukkan hasil yang cukup menggembirakan. Deklarasi aset yang cukup besar dapat meningkatkan basis pajak di masa yang akan datang. Repatriasi aset diharapkan juga mampu mendorong tumbuhnya perekonomian dalam jangka pendek. Dana repatriasi yang masuk sebagai hasil program pengampunan pajak diharapkan memberikan dampak terhadap sistem keuangan, terutama terhadap sektor perbankan sebagai tambahan likuiditas atau dana pihak ketiga (DPK). Kajian ini mencoba menunjukan respon dari perbankan apabila terjadi pertambahan likuiditas dalam sistem keuangan dan bagaimana kebijakan pemerintah dan otoritas moneter dalam mempertahankan stabilitas sistem keuangan paska program pengampunan pajak atau saat terjadi gejolak likuiditas dalam sistem keuangan. Keterkaitan dinamis antar indikator-indikator bank dimodelkan dalam kerangka Panel-Vector-Autoregressive (p-VAR). Analisis terhadap respon perbankan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perubahan likuiditas atau gejolak likuiditas dalam sistem keuangan tidak terlalu berpengaruh terhadap indikator Profil Risiko (Risk Profile), indikator rentabilitas/profitabilitas (Profitability), Indikator permodalan (Capital) dalam sistem perbankan. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa sistem keuangan terutama sistem perbankan mempunyai fundamental yang kuat untuk meredam gejolak likuiditas dalam sistem keuangan.
