Two different types of banking systems, Islamic and conventional, dominate the banking structure in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the ongoing debate as to which of the two is better. Using data for the period 2014–2018, the study compares Islamic and conventional banks. It combines traditional financial ratios, Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to perform a comprehensive analysis. In terms of ROA, the performance of conventional banks is better than that of Islamic banks, but in terms of ROE, vice versa. DEA results show that conventional banks are more efficient than Islamic banks. In fact, in terms of ROA and ROE, Al Rajhi Bank, an Islamic bank, is the best performer. But in terms of efficiency scores from DEA, Al Rajhi ranks seventh among all banks, while NCB, a conventional bank, ranks first. Issuing shares and utilizing funds in profitable options, such as loans and advances to increase net income, are the policy recommendations for Islamic banks to further improve. In addition, as the study finds no correlation between the ratio and efficiency scores, it proposes to use a combined measure of ratio analysis and efficiency analysis for a comprehensive assessment of bank performance.

This paper has been made to analyze the linkage between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. From analysis, it is found that Eastern Bank Ltd. (EBL) performs better than other selected banks but not enough in practicing corporate social responsibility. While, conventional banks are more imperative than Islamic banks as all the indicators cover its benchmark apart from return on total assets. It has proved that there is a significant relationship among return on equity, earnings per share, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility but corporate social responsibility has shown little impact on corporate performance.

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.

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).

This study aims to compare the financial performance between Islamic and conventional banks listed at Kuwait stock exchange over the period 2011-2018 using the modified DuPont model of financial analysis which is based on the analysis of return on equity (ROE). Unlike previous studies where researchers compared the performance on a bank-to-bank basis, this study examines the aggregate ratios of Islamic banks and compare it to aggregate ratios of conventional banks. The study also adds volatility into the model since consistency in returns indicated a more stable sector.  Results obtained from this study showed that conventional banks in Kuwait had a better mean performance during the study period in terms of both return on assets (ROA) and return in equity (ROE), Islamic banks also showed a higher deviation in these two ratios resulting in a lower Sharpe ratio. While the results showed no statistically significant mean difference between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of return on assets (ROA), the results also showed a statistically significant difference in mean return on equity (ROE) between the two sub-sectors.  On the other hand, Islamic banks showed an impressive improvement in their ratios during the last three years of the study period which impose a real threat to conventional banks in the future.

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.

Banking sector mediation is related to efficiency in economic performance. As a financial institution, banks need to maintain their performance in order to operate optimally, one factor that must be considered is efficiency in performance. This research aimed to analyze the efficiency of Islamic Banks and Conventional Commercial Bank in Indonesia. Using a purposive sample technique for two Islamic banks and two commercial banks. Fixed assets, deposits, and other operating expenses as input variablesused, while credit as output variable.  Using Data Envelopment Analysis to calculate the efficiency of banking. The results show that all Sharia Commercial Bank samples reached efficiency level 1 was efficient. Besides, the sample of conventional commercial banks used in this study is not all efficient. This is due to one of the sample banks having an efficiency level below one, which is 0.644. It means that conventional bank groups are inefficient.

This study compares the performance of Islamic and conventional banking in Lebanon in terms of Return on Assets and Return on Equity over the period 2012-2016. Moreover, it examines whether the internal characteristics of the bank may explain the difference in profitability between two types of banking transactions. In addition, the results of the study are analyzed using a regression analysis applied to a sample of both Islamic and conventional banks to investigate the effects of these variables on bank performance. Furthermore, results show that Islamic banks in Lebanon have better asset adequacy compared to conventional banks. However, conventional banks are better in liquidity and are on an average more profitable than Islamic ones. It is worthy to indicate that the Islamic banking industry in Lebanon is still in its infancy and only very few of the banks were active in this sector.

The main objective of this study is to identify the factors that can impact on the profitability and stability of GCC banks, using data from the period 2005-2014, to achieve GCC Vision 2030. The profitability indicators are: return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and net interest margin (NIM). In terms of stability, this can be presented through z-score and capital ratio. The statistical regressions in this study are generalised least squares (GLS) and generalised method of moments (GMM). Using both statistical indicators (GLS and GMM) is highly limited in previous studies. The main results for profitability show that stable banks are typically more profitable than instable banks. Moreover, there is a significant and positive correlation between capital ratio and profits – larger banks obtained higher returns. To achieve GCC Vision 2030, GCC banks may benefit from concentrating on lending services. Furthermore, attracting foreign direct investments can enhance banks’ profits. In contrast, outflow remittances badly affect ROA and ROE. As for the findings of stability, z-score and capital ratio impacted each other significantly and positively. Additionally, larger banks were found to be more risky when compared to smaller banks, and lending services support stability with lower insolvency risks. Finally, ROA significantly and strongly affects both stability indicators (z-score and capital ratio). Using the foreign direct investment (FDI) as an independent variable is a contribution to the performance and stability studies in banking. The result indicates that more FDI leads to better profitability in banking sector. In addition, examining the effects of outflow remittances on performance and stability adds to the knowledge. The outflow remittances decreased ROA and ROE but improve NIM significantly. In general, Islamic banks could achieve more profits (with higher insolvency risks) than conventional banks, and are found to be well-capitalised compared to conventional banks

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in conjunction with financial ratios is used to estimate and compare the performance of the four largest South African banks over the period 2001 to 2011. DEA is used to estimate the relative technical, allocative, cost and scale efficiencies and compare these estimates to certain financial ratios published by the banks in their financial statements. These ratios include return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), net interest margin (NIM), impairment losses, etc. The results obtained from the efficiency estimates and the financial ratios are used to rate the banks according to these performances. The rating differs depending on which performance measure is applied. A combination of these measures was necessary to determine the best and the worst performing bank. From the results obtained it appears that profitability and efficiency are two sides of the same coin.

The purpose of this study is to comparison in financia performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia by using the Income Statement (IS) approach and Shari'ate Value Added Statement (SVAS) approach. The type of research is quantitative, sample using a purposive sampling technique with the criteria of Islamic banks in Indonesia the which presents a financial annual report the period 2008-2012. Financial ratios used consisted of Return On Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), the ratio between the total net income by total productive assets (LBAP), Net profite Margin (NPM), and Operating Expense to Operation Income (OEOI), Analysis tool used to prove the hypothesis of this study is an independent sample t-test and Mann Whitney U. The result Showed that the average financial ratios (ROA, ROE, LBAP, NPM and OEOI) there are differences singnificant between the model of  IS and SVAS. Differences in the ratio of financial performance is due to the differences in the design of the presentation and disclosures relating to profit and added value. Income Statement "IS" looked at  income as profit, whereas the Shari'ate Value Added Statement "SVAS" looked at income as an added value.
