The Global Financial Crisis

This paper theoretically discusses and reviews the main causes of the crisis, including discrimination, moral failure, poor governance, easy credit, imprudent lending, excessive debt and leverage, and regulation and supervision failure. The implications of the crisis have been reviewed, followed by a critical discussion on the lack of direct exposure to the crisis for Islamic banking, because most, if not all, of the practices and financial instruments that are believed to be responsible for the crisis are not permitted under Islamic banking principles.

The Global Financial Crisis

We draw on the institutional work literature to analyse the rhetoric in mainstream media spawned by the global financial crisis. We identify the emerging positions (status quo, neutral and change) of actors on major themes (policy, practices, recovery and regulation) related to the crisis and the rhetorical processes used (appeals to expert authority, finding someone to blame, use of scenarios, and avoidance of critical discussion) to communicate these positions. We find that academics lead the charge for change in policy, relying mostly on rhetorical processes that involve the use of past scenarios and blame, but also often avoid critical discussion through over-generalization. In contrast, banks focus on changes in practices, mostly using future scenarios, finding specific others to blame, and also appealing to expert authority. The US Federal Reserve takes the lead on maintaining the status quo on regulation-related issues, largely through using various scenarios and appeals to expert authority. We also find a large number of neutral positions and interpret this as tacit support for existing institutions. We conclude by charting out a broader research agenda for further investigation of the actors-institutions interplay, particularly within the context of the financial crisis.

It has been recorded the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia shows a speedy recovery from the impact of the global financial crisis. Thus, this study aims to evaluate and examine the differences of Islamic banking’s financial performance after the global financial crisis in Indonesia. The financial performances in this study are profitability ratio (Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE)), liquidity ratio (Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Current Asset Ratio (CAR)) and solvency risk ratio (Equity Multiplier (EM) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER)). The samples in this study are the six Islamic banks from Islamic Commercial Banks (Bank Usaha Sharia (BUS)) and Islamic Business Unit Banks (Unit Usaha Sharia (UUS)) in Indonesia. Based on the results shows by the descriptive statistic, UUS is more effective in using their assets to generate income compared to BUS, but BUS is greater to manage their financing and more liquid than UUS whose has higher risk than BUS during 2009-2013.

First, this paper investigated the loan and deposit efficiencies of Malaysian Islamic banks during 2008-2013 applying the non-parametric technique, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and found that the average technical efficiency (TE) of loan financing was 83%, 88%, 87%, 95%, 100%, and 94% and the average technical efficiency for deposit mobilizations was 87%, 94%, 94%, 96%, 92%, and 96%. Only four banks in 2008, two bank in 2009, three banks in 2010, two banks in 2011-2013 are both technically and scale efficient in loan production. On the other hand, only four banks in 2008 and 2009, five banks in 2010 and 2011, three banks in 2012, and five banks in 2013 are both technical and scale efficient in deposit mobilizations. Second, the paper compares the efficiencies of Islamic banks between the global financial crisis (GFC) and the post global financial crisis (PGFC) in determining whether the efficiencies of banks between the GFCP and PGFCP are stable. Both parametric and non-parametric tests found no significant difference in the efficiencies between the two periods suggesting that the efficiencies of the Malaysian Islamic banks were stable.

The Voice

Though markets are normally associated with regulated institutions such as exchanges of far greater importance was that trading which took place outside them. Ranked among the largest and most active financial markets in the world were those involving fixed income financial instruments and currencies, where trading took place through direct contact between buyers and sellers, the intermediation of inter-dealer brokers and, increasingly, the use of electronic platforms that matched sales and purchases. These markets were essential tools used by banks in their constant adjustment of assets and liabilities across time and space, as well as type, or the lending and borrowing they did between each other so as to profitably employ the resources at their command. This was a world in flux that was pushing traditional exchanges and the voice brokers towards oblivion, though leaving a role for those who negotiated bespoke deals or handled complex products. That was the position on the eve of the Global Financial Crisis, and then resumed thereafter. The advance of the electronic trading platforms proved unstoppable, sweeping away all rivals that failed to embrace the revolution taking place.

The Global Financial Crisis

Islamic banking seems to be an unfamiliar concept in Indian economy. Besides having a huge potential, Islamic finance is considered to be infeasible and impractical in Indian conventional system of banking. The search for alternatives to conventional banking in the aftermath of the global financial crisis trained the spotlights on Islamic banking in many parts of the world. Today that Islamic banking has unfortunately been misunderstood in India as a religious charitable venture restricted to the country’s Muslim community. Despite its striking growth in other parts of world such as the Middle East, South East Asia (which chiefly include Malaysia and Indonesia) and Europe, it is yet to be positioned as a realistic alternative financial system and not a religious one. In this paper, an attempt is made to understand the underlying concept of Islamic banking and finance and erode some of the major misconceptions in the same context.
