The Impact of Financing Risk on Islamic Banking Performance in Indonesia

The financing risk is a significant issue in the Islamic banking industry that affects its performance. This research aims to examine the factors that influence financing risk on the financial performance of Islamic banking in Indonesia. This study utilized time-series data quarterly from 2009-2020 collected from three types of Islamic banking in Indonesia: Islamic Commercial Bank (ICB), Islamic Business Unit (IBU), and Islamic Rural Bank (IRB). It was analyzed using multiple regression estimation techniques with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. This study revealed that the Islamic banks’ financing risk is significantly influenced by bank capital, financing, economic growth, inflation, and central bank’ rate (BI rates), both negatively and positively. In detail, the increase of bank capital, financing, and economic growth will reduce the financing risks, whilst inflation and BI rate increase the financing risks. The findings also disclosed that Islamic banks' financial performance is influenced by bank capital, operating costs, financing risks, inflation, and BI rates. Thus, the decrease in bank capital, operational costs, and financing risks will subsequently decrease the financial performance, while the increase of inflation and BI rates will increase the financial performance of Islamic banks. Economic growth is the most influential factor in reducing financing risk, while financing risk is the most significant factor in improving banks’ financial performance. The government's efforts to boost economic growth are crucial to reducing financing risks and improving the financial performance of Islamic banks.==========================================================================================================ABSTRAK – Dampak Risiko Pembiayaan terhadap Kinerja Bank Syariah di Indonesia.

Bank Capital Structure Dynamics and Covid-19: Evidence from South Asia

The severity in terms of economic activity of the Covid-19 crisis was higher than the global financial crisis. Covid-19 has not only challenged the economic activity across the world but has put to test how the bank operates under the global crises. The objective of this paper is to identify the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the South Asian banking sector. We investigate if South Asian banks have target leverage and how the Covid-19 crisis impacted their capital structure dynamics. To fulfill the objective, past data on all banks of South Asian countries listed in the Thomson Reuter Refinitiv were considered. The sample ended up including quarterly data of banks from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan Nepal and Afghanistan. Engle-Granger's two-step procedure for error correction and two-step GMM estimation was employed to measure the speed of adjustment and the impact of Covid-19 on bank capital. The study found that the capital structure determinants favor the static trade-off theory for South Asian banks. It is also observed that South Asian banks’ capital was negatively impacted by Covid-19. The analysis supports the view of leverage convergence for the capital structure. This study improves our understanding of the capital structure dynamics of banks in response to exogenous shocks in South Asia.

Development trends and mechanisms of State support for poultry farming at the regional level

Subject. The article investigates trends and prospects for poultry farming development at the regional level. Objectives. The purpose is to study the condition of poultry farming in the region, identify development trends, design mechanisms for government support for poultry farming. Methods. The study employs monographic, abstract-logical, statistical, and analytical methods. Results. In the Republic of Dagestan, the poultry production is concentrated in private farm households. This fact reduces the competitiveness of the sub-sector. The study establishes that there is a significant potential for increasing the production volumes of the industry. The bank capital practically does not participate in the modernization of poultry farming in the region, in part because of unfavorable credit history of most economic entities and insufficient collateral. Against the background of low rates of attracting private investment, there is an urgent need for State support for the industry. Conclusions. We propose a set of reasonable measures to stimulate State support for poultry farming in the region, including through improving the forms and methods of scientific and innovative support, linking the forms of the support with the achievement of established development indicators. The paper determines the need for introducing State support to stimulate the industry’s transfer of industrial basis.

The Influence Of Corporate Governance, Capital Structure, and Company Size on The Company's Financial Performance

This study aims to examine the effect of the implementation of corporate governance, capital structure, and firm size on the financial performance of banking companies. The implementation of good corporate governance is an obligation that must be carried out by companies which already have guidelines from the Financial Services Authority and other institutions. In fact, not all companies have applied good governance even though it can improve the performance of the company so it becomes interesting to study the impact of good governance implementation in Indonesia. This study uses panel data regression analysis with research samples from banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2017 to 2019. The results of the study as overall show that corporate governance, capital structure and firm size have a positive effect on the company's financial performance. Managerial ownership as corporate governance proxy has a significant positive impact on financial performance partially. Keywords: bank, capital structure, corporate governance, company size

Credit Stimulus, Executive Ownership, and Firm Leverage

We show that executive ownership is a significant driver of the demand for credit following credit expansion policies. Our focus on credit demand is in contrast to most studies that have focused on credit supply factors such as bank capital. Our identification exploits the large and unexpected Chinese credit expansion in 2008. This setting offers a unique advantage as in 2008 the Chinese government had almost complete control over the banking sector and it directed the banks to increase credit supply. Thus, in this setting, demand, rather than supply, largely drives the observed changes in firms’ borrowing. We provide extensive robustness tests to validate our results.

Climate Risk with Particular Emphasis on the Relationship with Credit-Risk Assessment: What We Learn from Poland

This research seeks to identify non-financial enterprises exposed to the climate risk relating to transition risks and at the same time use of bank loans, as well as to conduct stress tests to take account of the financial risk related to climate change. The workflow through which to determine the ability of the banking sector to assess the potential impact of climate risk entails parts based around economic sector and company level. The procedure based on the sectoral level identifies vulnerable economic sectors (in the Sectoral Module), while the procedure based on company level (the Company Module) refers to scenarios presented in stress tests to estimate the probability of default under stressful conditions related to the introduction of a direct carbon tax. The introduction of the average direct carbon tax (EUR 75/tCO2) in fact results in increased expenditure and reduced sales revenues among enterprises from sectors with a high CO2 impact, with the result being a decrease in the profitability of enterprises, along with a simultaneously higher level of debt; an increase in the probability of default (PD) from 3.6%, at the end of 2020 in the baseline macroeconomic scenario, to between 6.31% and 10.12%; and increased commercial bank capital requirements. Financial institutions should thus use PD under stressful conditions relating to climate risk as suggestions to downgrade under the expert module.

Bank solvency: The role of credit and liquidity risks, regulatory capital and economic stability

Banking stability is essential to any economy due to its many functions, including intermediation, payment facilitation, and credit creation. Thus, the stability of the banking industry is one of the critical ingredients in economic growth. This paper analyzes how bank capital requirements, credit, and liquidity impact bank solvency using ten major banks that control 90% of the market share in the UK in 2009–2018. The GMM model indicates a strong association between credit and liquidity risks. That is, when banks finance a risky or distressed project, this will lead to an increase in non-performing loans (NPL), which reduces bank liquidity. Poor liquidity profile of the bank may restrict it from providing financial intermediation role. In addition, the findings indicate that efficiency, asset quality, and economic growth have a significant positive effect on the solvency of banks. The results also show that the regulatory capital (tier1) has a positive significant influence on solvency of the banks. Further, the results indicate that during the economic boom, banks tend to increase their regulatory capital. Therefore, there is a need to ensure that during the “good time”, banks can accumulate enough capital that is genuinely capable of absorbing negative shock. Also, it is important for banks to ensure that they are efficient but also have robust credit appraisal system to reduce NPL. This paper also demonstrates the implication of increased capital requirements. That is, increased capital requirements ensure not only banks are liquid but also solvent which enables them to provide financial intermediation.
