Conventional And Islamic Banks

The knowledge value produced by this research was established in particular by the methodological challenges of the comparative study. Based on a process of bibliographic research, available conditional observation and necessary statistical tests, we innovated an equiprobable comparison between the solvencies of conventional and Islamic banks over the period (2010-2018). Our study is not only a matter of dealing generically with the financial solvency question of conventional and Islamic banks, but also, we analysed the inherent implications and difficulties that may alter the results and influence the establishment of an operative evaluation of financial institutions. Two samples were taken from two reference populations. The core populations are all existing conventional and Islamic banks in the selected countries. The choice of banks is limited to countries whose banking systems incorporate both Islamic and conventional banks regardless of the proportion of each system in the country's banking market. Subsequently, each list bank was reduced on the basis of qualitative and quantitative filtering criteria. Therefore, each conventional bank has its closest Islamic equivalence in terms of capital and size taken from the same country. This restriction reduced the sample size to 63 banks each. The selected banks are all large and listed in different stock exchanges around the world. In conclusion, we found that conventional banks are more solvent than Islamic banks during a financial stable period.

The knowledge value produced by this research was established in particular by the methodological challenges of the comparative study. Based on a process of bibliographic research, available conditional observation and the using of the Financial Ratio Analysis Method, the objective of this article is to solve the ambiguity of previous comparative research and innovated an equiprobable comparison between the solvencies of conventional and Islamic banks over the period (2010-2018). Our study is not only a matter of dealing generically with the financial solvency of conventional and Islamic banks but also, we analyzed the inherent implications that may alter the results of a banks’ operative evaluation. Two samples were taken from two reference populations existing in the selected countries. The choice of banks is limited to countries whose banking systems incorporate both Islamic and conventional banks. Subsequently, each list bank was reduced based on qualitative and quantitative filtering criteria. Therefore, each conventional bank has its closest Islamic equivalence. This restriction reduced the sample size to 63 banks each. The selected banks are all large and listed in different stock exchanges. In conclusion, we found that conventional banks are more solvent than Islamic banks during a financial stable period.

Due to the failure of several conventional banks and the closure of some Islamic banks around the world, both types are exposed to the risk of liquidation and bankruptcy. Theoretically, knowledge production has until recently been the monopoly of academic research (Vinck, 2000). The choice of the most liquid type of bank and which maximizes the liquidity of its customers is a problem to be solved. Since most of the previous studies that have dealt with relative or comparative banking liquidity are unconfirming, our research interest is to overcome these constraints in order to provide a more optimistic answer. Two samples were removed from two reference populations over the period (2010-2018). Samples were selected from 16 countries. Basic populations consist of all existing conventional and Islamic banks in the selected countries. The choice of banks is limited to countries whose banking systems incorporate both types. Subsequently, the list for each type of banks was reduced on the basis of qualitative and quantitative filtering criteria. Therefore, each conventional bank has its closest Islamic equivalence in terms of capital and size taken from the same country. This restriction reduced the sample size to 63 large banks each. All selected banks were listed in different stock exchanges around the world. Empirical results showed that Islamic banks are more liquid than conventional banks during a financial stable period.

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) of banking industry requires both Islamic and conventional banking to improve their efficiency because the competition in banking market industry will be more intense. Therefore, this study aims to identify the type of hyphotesis of industrial organization which exists in Islamic and conventional banks in order to investigate their readiness for AEC. The research sampling consists of 10 Islamic banks and 10 conventional banks from January 2009 to December 2016. To measure x-efficiency and scale efficiency, this research uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Meanwhile, the concentration is measured by Lerner index. The hypothesis is tested by using panel regression. The result shows SCP (Structure-Conduct-Performance) hypothesis is closely applied to Islamic and conventional banks because market concentration significantly influences profitability. RMP (Relative Market Power) hypothesis is also closely applied to Islamic and conventional banking, this indicates Indonesian banking has market power in determining prices and this condition makes the profit higher. RES (Relative Efficiency Structure) and SES (Scale Efficiency Structure) hypothesis do not exist in both conventional and Islamic banks because x-efficiency and scale efficiency do not affect profitability, concentration, and  market share simultaneously. Market power and efficiency researches are commonly conducted in conventional banking, however there are only a few research in Islamic banking area. The novelty of this study is the comparison between conventional and Islamic banking in the term of market structure and efficiency.

According to the literature review, the analysis results of the impact of ownership structure quality on financial performance within conventional and Islamic financial institutions are contradictory. In our study, we performed a fine differential analysis aimed at resolving this ambiguity. The financial performance and ownership structure variables of conventional and Islamic banks were collected from 16 countries located in three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Two samples were collected that each of them is composed of 63 banks. By using the OLS method, these panel data were compared to the impact of ownership structure on the financial performance between both types of banks in the agency theory framework during the period 2010-2018, giving us 567 bank-year observations in each sub-sample. Results revealed that the ownership structure of conventional banks has had an explained ambiguous impact on its financial performance, whereas that of Islamic banks has a positive effect. Overall, the impacts of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) shareholding and the board’s chairman shareholding are more significant on the financial performance of conventional banks than those of impacts related to Islamic banks.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the interactions among macroeconomic variable shocks, banking fragility and home financing provided by conventional and Islamic banks in Malaysia. Identifying the causes of financial instability and the effects of macroeconomic shocks can help to foil the onset of future financial turbulence. Design/methodology/approach The autoregressive distributed lag bound-testing cointegration approach, impulse response functions (IRFs) and forecast error variance decomposition are used in this study to unravel the long-run and short-run dynamics among the selected macroeconomic variables and amount of home financing offered by both conventional and Islamic banks. In addition, the study uses Granger causality tests to investigate the short-run causalities among the selected variables to further understand the impact of one macroeconomic shock to Islamic and conventional home financing. Findings This study provides evidence that macroeconomic shocks have different long-run and short-run effects on amount of home financing offered by conventional and Islamic banks. Both in the long run and short run, home financing provided by Islamic banks is more linked to real sector economy and thus is more stable as compared to home financing provided by conventional banks. The Granger causality test reveals that only gross domestic product (GDP), Kuala Lumpur Syariah Index (KLSI)/Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) and house price index (HPI) are found to have a statistically significant causal relationship with home financing offered by both conventional and Islamic banks. Unlike the case of Islamic banks, conventional home financing is found to have a unidirectional causality with interest rates. Research limitations/implications This study has focused on analyzing the macroeconomic shocks on home financing. However, this study does not assess the impact of financial deregulation and enhanced information technology on amount of financing offered by both conventional and Islamic banks. In addition, it is not within the ambit of this present study to examine the effects of agency costs and information asymmetry. Practical implications The analysis of cointegration and IRFs exhibits that in the long run and short run, home financing provided by Islamic banks are more linked to real sector economy like GDP and House Prices (HPI) and therefore more resilient to economic vulnerabilities as compared to home financing provided by conventional banks. However, in the long run, both conventional and Islamic banks are more susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates. The results of the study suggest that monetary policy ramifications to improve banking fragility should focus on stabilizing interest rates or finding an alternative that is free from interest. Social implications Because interest plays a significant role in pricing of home loans, the potential of an alternative such as rental rate is therefore timely and worth the effort to investigate further. Therefore, Islamic banks can explore the possibility of pricing home financing based on rental rate as proposed in this study. Originality/value This paper examines the unresolved issues in Islamic home financing where Islamic banks still benchmark their products especially home financing, to interest rates in dual banking system such as in the case of Malaysia. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, studies conducted in this area are meager and therefore is imperative to be examined.

Conventional And Islamic Banks

Banks play a significant role in financing the economy and take on risky financial activities based on information and trust as they specialized companies with their own specificities. This study was propelled to unravel the determinants that affect financial risk (liquidity risk and credit risk) for conventional and Islamic banks. The bank-level data of conventional and Islamic banks in the regions of Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South Asia between 2006 and 2014 were collected from the Bankscope, which is a commercial database produced by the Bureau van Dijk. Thus, for conventional banks the obtained results exhibited significantly positive relationship between regulatory quality towards liquidity risk. Then, the relationship between regulatory quality towards credit risk was negatively significant for conventional banks. Meanwhile, as for Islamic banks, the relationship between government effectiveness and regulatory quality towards financial risk was insignificant. Hence, the regulators or policymakers are able to identify specific mechanism to improve the risk management of these banks as well through this study.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to unfold the relationship between service quality and level of performance of conventional and Islamic banks. Also, it intends to uncover what are the features of service quality which can raise the level of performance either in conventional banks or Islamic banks. There is rare literature available that focused on comparative study between above stated banking systems based on emerging parameters of SERVQUAL model. Design/methodology/approach To meet the objectives of this investigation, research data has been from 450 customers who have had accounts and dealings with conventional and Islamic banks in the previous five years. The customers are selected based on cluster sampling from regional offices of conventional and Islamic banks. Findings The collected data have been analyzed by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique followed by common method variance (CMV), multiple regression test and independent sample t-test used to examine the parameters of service quality in the context of banks performance. The purpose of CFA is to find the model validity, while multiple regression and t-test is performed in order to examine the influence of service quality parameters on banks performance. Originality/value The study used compliance as a one of the emerging and unique dimension of service quality. This dimension is rarely investigated in the context of measuring the level of bank performance of conventional and Islamic banking systems. Findings reveal responsiveness and assurance is the strongest predictor of conventional banking performance. Compliance and reliability has significant and positive impact on the level of performance of Islamic banks. Moreover, the study has practical implications for the top management and stakeholders of conventional and Islamic banks to increase the level of performance by using SERVQUAL model.

Purpose – The expansion of the Islamic banking industry seems to accentuate the banking competition in MENA and Southeast Asia where conventional and Islamic banks coexist. In this context, the research aims\ to examine the competitive conditions and the market power of the conventional and Islamic banks during the period 2004-2009 in MENA and Southeast Asia region. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use a variety of structural and non-structural measures related to the traditional approach and the new empirical approach of the industrial organization. The methodology is based on set of measures of the competition and market power. The first measure is a set of concentration ratios (C3, C5) and Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI). The second measures are the Panzar and Ross H statistic and the Lerner index based on econometric estimations with the aim of evaluating the structure of market and measuring its power in terms of price setting. Findings – The results indicate that under the HHI index, both markets are low concentrated, while according to the concentration ratios, the Islamic market is considered as moderately concentrated. The estimations results, through the H-PR-statistic of Panzar and Ross related to degree of competition and the Lerner index of market power, indicate that both markets are characterized by a monopolistic competition and the Islamic banking expressed a high degree of market power. Research limitations/implications – The research focuses exclusively on the countries where the data are available and excludes the other countries where competition and market power might have different forms. Practical implications – In a competitive environment, each bank is required to analyze the structure of its market and competitive conditions, in order to develop a business strategy and effective action plans. In the context of the multiplication of the Islamic banks in the MENA and Southeast Asia, the enhancement of Islamic bank competitiveness by offering new products is determinant for their success. Originality/value – To the best of the authors' knowledge few studies have examined this subject in a comparative analysis between the Islamic and conventional banks. So the authors contribute to the literature on Islamic banking by considering a sample of Islamic and conventional banks operating in the same countries in order to examine the existence or not of difference between them.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the conventional and Islamic banking in Pakistan. For this study, a sample of 19 conventional banks and five Islamic banks was selected. The CAMEL approach is used to evaluate the performance of both conventional and Islamic banks. Ten ratios were used to measure profitability, liquidity and credit risk. Our findings suggest that Islamic banks are less efficient than conventional banks in asset management, management capability and liquidity. Conventional banks have better earning capability in terms of return on assets and overhead ratios. The analysis also shows that Islamic banks have better capital adequacy than conventional banks.

This study investigates the comparative pass-through of policy rate to the retailprices, spillover of prices between Islamic and conventional banking systems, and theimpact of excess liquidity on these pass-throughs using data from interbank marketof Pakistan. The results suggest that the monetary policy shock affect retail prices ofIslamic banks similar to conventional banks, confirming the results of earlier studies.Moreover, there is a strong spillover between the prices of two systems; Islamicbanks are following (leading) the conventional banks in pricing the lending (deposit)products. Islamic bank has acquired advantage in the deposit pricing by taping thereligious depositors, which also may have promoted financial inclusion therebycontributing to the economic growth and improved income distribution in the society.Our findings suggest that the presence of excess liquidity have no effect on passthroughof policy rate in the Islamic system, which is contrary to the prevalent notion.However, excess liquidity significantly affects the spillovers of prices between thesystems. These results support the hypothesis that the Islamic banks are investing ininterest-based government securities indirectly via conventional banks. Our findingsmay help in enhancing the regulatory efficiency of the central banks and the conduct ofthe monetary policy in the countries where dual banking system exists.
