scholarly journals A Critical Evaluation of articles Related to Islamic Banking

Islamic banking is any banking activity carried out within the parameters of Islamic jurisprudence. It differs from the traditional banking business in its prohibition of dealing with interest i.e. borrowing and lending of money for interest. Another feature that distinguishes Islamic banking is the concept of profit and loss sharing paradigm. These features have made this sunrise industry to not only attract new markets but also to show consistent growth over the years. Hence, large conventional banks have also shown interest in venturing into Islamic banking and have opened Islamic banking windows in their commercial set up in order to capitalize on the opportunity. Although Islamic banking is still in its nascent stage, it has become a global force to reckon with due to its strong ethical values and risk-minimization principles. The primary aim of this article is to critically review the existing literature available in studies related to Islamic banking.

The aim of our study is the comparative analysis of the Islamic and conventional bank systems in Turkey focusing on the years of the last financial crisis. The financial crisis of 2008 shocked the world and impeached the confidence in the conventional bank systems. It drew the attention to the alternative financial forms like Islamic banking. The best known specialty of the Islamic bank system is the prohibition of interests and speculative transactions. The question is: are Islamic banks more crisis-resistant than the conventional banks? Are they really more stable? We would like to get answers for these questions through analyzing the four Islamic banks and four conventional banks with the same size in Turkey. We set up three hypothesizes: 1. The profitability of the Islamic banks was higher during the crisis than the profitability of the conventional banks. 2. The liquidity of the Islamic banks was higher during the crisis than the liquidity of the conventional banks. 3. The leverage ratio of the Islamic banks was higher during the crisis than the leverage ratio of the conventional banks. The time horizon of the research is from 2007 to 2013 and we get the data from the annual reports of the banks.

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.
