<p class="Style2">Maldives is a hundred percent Muslim country. Though the laws in Maldives are influenced by common law and civil law systems, the spirit of the laws are based on Islamic principles. However, when it comcs to the banking system, it is poignant to state here that the only known banking system to the country is based on conventional or usury friendly system. Up until now there are only six banks operating in the country. And none of them is an Islamic bank. It has been frequently questioned on why it is so difficult to set up an Islamic Bank in a hundred percent Muslim country? People say that the demand is there, so what is there to worry? But the truth is that the challenges we face are more than what any one could think of. As rightly pointed out, the demand for Islamic banking is there. But what about the legal infrastructure, political support and the economic resources which are needed to invest to convert the banking system? Lack of human resources in the country is also not a small problem. And political instability has exacerbated the situation. In the past years, there have been several failed attempts made to introduce the Islamic banking system to the country. But due to lack of proper legal frame work in the country and some other financial reasons Islamic banking were never introduced. Now finally we see a green signal from the Central Bank of Maldives for establishment of Islamic bank. Towards the end of last year the Central Bank of Maldives have announced public to apply for jobs designed for the Islamic bank which is intend to be open soon! The main purpose of this paper is to look at the obstacles in introducing Islamic banking in Maldives. The challenges it is facing and the ways to curb it.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of credit, liquidity and operational risks in six Indonesian’s islamic banking financing products namely mudharabah, musyarakah, murabahah, istishna, ijarah and qardh, in order to try to discover whether or not Indonesian islamic banking is based on the “risk-sharing” system. This paper relies on a fixed effect model test based on the panel data analysis method, focusing on the period from 2007 to 2013. The research is an exploratory and descriptive study of all the Indonesian islamic banks that were operating in 2013. The results of this study show that the Islamic banking system in Indonesia truly has banking products based on “risk-sharing.” We found out that credit, operational and liquidity risks as a whole, have significant influence on mudarabah, musyarakah, murabahah, istishna, ijarah and qardh based financing. There is a correlation between the credit risk and mudarabah based financing, and no causal relationship between the credit risk and musharaka, murabahah, ijarah, istishna and qardh based financing. There is also correlation between the operational risk and mudarabah and murabahah based financing, and no causal relationship between the operational risk and musharaka, istishna, ijarah and qardh based financing. There is correlation between the liquidity risk and istishna based financing, and no causal relationship between the liquidity risk and musharaka, mudarabah, murabahah, ijarah and qardh based financing. A major implication of this study is the fact that there is no causal relationship between the credit risk and musharakah based financing, which is the mode of financing where the islamic bank shares the risk with its clients, but there is an influence of credit risk toward mudarabah mode financing, a financing mode where the Islamic bank bears all the risk. These findings can lead us to conclude that the Indonesian Islamic banking sector is based on the “risk sharing” system.

The Impact

While extensive study deals with bank competition and performance relationship, this study pioneers in focusing the existence Islamic bank in the presence of well established conventional banking system in Malaysia. This paper assesses the impact of changing competition landscape and Islamic bank penetration on bank risk, profitability and capitalization.  This study utilizes an unbalanced panel dataset consisting of 37 commercial banks over the period 1997 to 2015. the paper uses a panel VAR methodology to discern the interactions between bank competition and Islamic banking presence on one hand and bank performance on the other hand.Findings: We find evidence supportive of both competition – stability and competition – fragility views for conventional banks. The results suggest that bank competition improves conventional bank risk and, at the same time, lower profitability and capital holdings.  As for Islamic banks, competition seems to robustly influence only bank profitability.  Finally, we note that increasing Islamic bank penetration improves the risk profile of conventional banks and, as expected, reduces their market power.  These results bear important implications on the design of competition policies in a dual banking system as well as on the development of the Islamic banking sector.JEL Classification: C23, G21, G28How to Cite:Sukmana, R., & Ibrahim, M.

Saving Behavior

Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. However, since the Islamic banks were being established in Indonesia for about 20 years, their market share only accounts for about 5% in the Indonesian banking system. Muslim participations in using Islamic bank are relatively low. This study expands the Theory of Planned Behavior by adding the variables of religiosity and self-efficacy. Previous studies have not examined this new expanded model to analyze customers who participated in using the saving Islamic bank’s products and services. Based on 220 Islamic bank consumers who participated in the study, the study indicated that questionnaires about religiosity and self-efficacy had good external validity and could be adapted for the Indonesian culture context. The most interesting finding was that the religiosity variable strongly enhanced the use of Islamic banks. Similarly, this study found that the self-efficacy variable improved an intention of customers to participate in the Islamic banking system. This paper also discusses the implications of the findings and recommendations for future studies.

The World

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.
