Capital is a very important function in overcoming risks that may occur in the Banking Industry. A bank is said to be healthy if a bank has sufficient capital despite possible risks. To see that a bank is healthy, capital indicators are also the most important measurement, namely through the capital adequacy ratio or Capital Asset Ratio (CAR). Things that can affect the size of the capital adequacy ratio can occur due to internal and external factors. Internal factors originating from the banking industry itself, such as profitability, asset quality, company size and liquidity. Meanwhile, external factors come from outside the company such as the macroeconomic condition of a country. The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the impacts that causes the economic condition of a country to weaken which impacts on investment. So this study aims to see how much the ability of Islamic banks in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic which began to occur in Indonesia from February 2020 to the end of 2020. And the factors that influence the capital adequacy ratio's size. The findings of this research show that during the Covid-19 pandemic, Islamic banking was able to show its performance as an ever-growing Islamic financial institution seen from the data on the development of assets and growth in deposits. Islamic banking CAR for the period of 2020 remains at a fairly strong level despite the covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, one of the internal factors that influence CAR is Return On Assets (ROA) with a significance value of 0.005.

Purpose This study aims to explore the potential determinants of customers’ satisfaction with the Islamic banking system and highlights the fact that both internal and external factors play key roles in customer satisfaction (CS) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach Primary data from six Islamic banks (Al Baraka Bank Ltd, BankIslami Pakistan Ltd, Burj Bank Ltd, Dubai Islamic Bank Ltd, Meezan Bank Ltd and MCB-Islamic Bank Ltd) were analysed using a binary logit method. Findings The results showed that internal factors such as hand sanitisation facilities, strict compliance with wearing a mask before entering the bank, the distance between customers and dealing officers, an organised network of branches (in terms of health safety protocols), the behaviour of dealing officers and extended banking hours contributed significantly to enhancing the satisfaction of Islamic banking customers during the pandemic in Pakistan. The results showed that high service charges on loans have a significant adverse impact on CS. Concerning external factors, the results showed that mass media platforms that can update customers about new services and customer transactions’ processing timing, the number of operational branches in the pandemic period, available parking space in front of a bank and recommendations from family and friends to open an account with a particular bank increase CS levels. Practical implications The study’s results will be helpful for the policymakers and practitioners to design such policies that can promote the Islamic banking system in developing countries such as Pakistan. Originality/value Under the pandemic situation, the present study highlights the internal and external determinants of Islamic banking customers’ satisfaction in Pakistan. The study provides a foundation for Islamic Banks to revise their policy frameworks and marketing strategies to attract customer interest and improve their satisfaction levels.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ascertain whether Islamic bank profitability is driven by same forces as those driving conventional banking in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Distinguished by its principles in conformity with sharia, Islamic banking is different from conventional banking, which is likely to affect profitability. Design/methodology/approach The paper builds on a dynamic panel data model to identify the banks’ specific determinants and the macroeconomic factors influencing the profitability of a large sample of 51 Islamic banks operating in the MENA region from 1994 to 2012. The system-generalized method of moment estimators are applied. Findings The findings reveal that profitability is positively affected by banks’ cost-effectiveness, asset quality and level of capitalization. The results also indicate that non-financing activities allow Islamic banks to earn higher profits. Islamic banks perform better in environments where the gross domestic product and investment are high. There is evidence of several elements of similarities between determinants of the profitability for Islamic and conventional banks. The inflation rate, however, is negatively associated with Islamic bank profitability. Practical Implications The authors conclude that profitability determinants did not differ significantly between Islamic and conventional banks. Many factors are deemed the same in explaining the profitability of conventional as well as Islamic banks. The findings reported in the current paper might be of interest for policy makers. It is recommended to better implement non-financing activities to improve Islamic bank profitability. Originality/value Unlike the previous empirical research, this empirical investigation assesses the issue whether Islamic banks profitability is influenced by same factors as conventional model. It enriches the literature in this regard by considering the specificities of Islamic banking to identify the determinants of profitability. Moreover, this study considers a large sample (51 Islamic banks) through a different selection of countries/banks than previous studies. In addition, the period of study considers the subprime crisis insofar it ranges from 1994 to 2012. Hence, this broader study allows the authors to draw more consistent conclusions.

Indonesian Islamic banking market share projected by Bank Indonesia is an integral part in developing the industry in the country. By setting a projection which will then be used as a benchmark / target, Islamic banks can make a necessary program to attract new customers which eventually increase its asset. If the increase of the asset is significant,the Islamic bank market share may increase. The problem is that the current projection by Bank Indonesia seems to be off target. It means that the projection is pretty much above the actual value. This paper attempts to utilize two projection methods namely Spline and Auto-ARIMA which we think can provide a better result. This study uses the monthly data covering period since January 2006 until December 2012. The result shows that our projections, especially using Spline method, are closer to the actual value of the Islamic banking industry market share. It means that the gap between the projection and the actual value of market share is lesser than the gap on the Bank Indonesia calculation. Moreover, this study argue that, the projection of the Islamic banking market share made by BI will not be achieved unless with government support. So far, government has not made any policy which deposit some of the national budget in the Islamic bank. This study calculates that if government regularly depositing 1% of total National Government Budget in Islamic banks, the projection of Islamic banking market share made by BI will be acheived. As a conclusion, the role of government is very significant in developing the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia.Keywords: Market share Islamic Bank, Spline, Auto-ArimaJEL Classification: E44, E47

The growth of Islamic finance industries in Indonesia has shown significant improvement. The increased number of surplus units depositing their funds in Islamic banks has become a significant factor in their trust and confidence in Islamic banking products. One of the products utilized by the depositor is the mudharabah deposit product, where the Islamic bank offers higher profit compared to other types of deposit or saving. This paper aims to analyze the issues in a mudharabah term deposit in the Islamic banking industry in Indonesian Islamic banks. The issues concern more on the profit and risk in the mudharabah concept that has been applied in Islamic banks and the variables that affect the changes in mudharabah deposit product. We used the sample to analyze the issues by selecting 14 Islamic banks in Indonesia from 2011-2020.  This research uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis methods. Several variables are considered the independent variables to know the changes in the demand of mudharabah deposits in the Islamic bank, including interest rate, profit rate, number of office or branch units, and non-performing financing. Our analysis shows that the number of offices or branch units and non-performing financing positively impact the changes in demand of mudharabah deposits, while the interest rate and profit rate have a negative impact on mudharabah deposits.

Comparing to conventional bank, Islamic banking industry in Indonesia relatively still in the early development stage. Islamic bank is different with conventional bank, and therefore there is a special regulation for Islamic bank. Research conducted in 22 countries (including Indonesia), shows that Islamic banking and has differences with conventional banking in term of business orientation, efficiency, asset kuality and stability. But other research 13 countries (not including Indonesia), show that Islamic banking’s performance is lower than conventional banking (Ariss, 2010). Islamic banking in Indonesia has a unique characteristic. Most of Islamic banking in Indonesia is converted from conventional bank, owned by conventional bank or originated from a conventional bank. Some resource of Islamic bank comes from conventional banking even some of them still using resource from their conventional bank as their parent. This result raises a question, whether in the context of Islamic banking in Indonesia, its performance is significantly different from conventional banks. To answer the research questions above, we do a t-test on ROA and ROE Islamic banks and conventional banks from 2009-2014. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the financial performances of Islamic banks with conventional banks, except for 2014. In 2014 Islamic bank’s ROE is lower than conventional banks. This research opens the opportunity to study the factors that could cause a difference in the performance of Islamic banks vs conventional banks.

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.
