Bank Run and Stability of Islamic Banking in Indonesia

Abstract

Bank run is an important economic phenomenon which increasingly occurred in in modern banking system and potentially threatened banking stability as it could trigger a banking crisis. However, most studies related to bank run focus on the occurrence of bank run in conventional banking system. Very few of them discuss the bank run phenomenon under Islamic banking system or dual banking system where Islamic banks jointly operating with conventional banks. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the determinants of bank run in the Indonesian Islamic banking industry by employing primary data from 256 customers of Indonesia Islamic banks in 2015 and by utilizing factor analysis and descriptive statistics. In theory, Islamic banks tend to be more resilient towards any macroeconomic or financial shocks as compared to conventional banks due to the nature of its asset-based and risk-sharing arrangement. However, the result exhibits that both psychological and fundamental factors (i.e. macroeconomics and bank fundamentals) strongly influence the behaviors of Islamic banking depositors to withdraw their funds, which might trigger the occurrence of bank runs in the country. Insider information, macroeconomic condition and bank fundamental factors are also shown to have the highest impacts among all variables. Hence, in the context of banking stability, the finding implies that Islamic banks are not completely immune to the impacts of macroeconomic shocks or financial crisis. As a country with a dual banking system, Indonesia had experienced several bank runs since 1990s. Therefore, the findings of the study should provide the policy makers important insight into research based-policy in order to attain financial stability as one of the main economic goals of the country.Keywords: Bank run, Islamic bank, Factor analysis, IndonesiaJEL Classification: C83, G21, G28

Determinants of Behavioral Intentions to Adopt Online Platforms to Pay Zakah and Sadaqah

“…The research accepts the first hypothesis and confirms the positive impact of performance expectancy on the intention to use online platform to pay Zakah and Sadaqah. These findings are consistent with several previous studies including, (Khechine et Kasri and Sosianti, 2023). This finding suggests that using the online payment platforms for Zakah and Sadaqah can assist Zakah payers to improve their performance, through making faster payments from anywhere with lower costs compared to payment through traditional channels.…”

“…Based on this finding, it can be suggested that Zakah and Sadaqah online donors are often motivated by encouragement from friends, family, and other influential people around them. This result is consistant with previous studies, including (Farouk et al, 2017;Bin-Nashwan et al, 2023;Kasri and Sosianti, 2023). They all concluded that social influence helps in anticipating donors' intentions to use a system or technology that their peers suggest.…”

The role of banking regulation in the development of Islamic banking financing in Indonesia

“…In examining the effectiveness or impacts of regulations on banking performance, particularly from the banks’ financing side, there are at least two broad studies that can be highlighted. The first is related to the role or direct impact of banking regulations on the performance of banks (Barth et al , 2001), while the second is related to the indirect role or impact of variables such as the fundamental factors of other banks and macroeconomic variables (Kasri et al , 2017) on the banks’ performance.…”

Does the deposit structure affect Islamic bank’s maturity transformation activities? The implications of IFSB liquidity guidelines

“…This finding agrees with those of Mohamad et al (2013) and Boukhatem and Ben Moussa (2018), which showed that the behavior of Islamic banking in terms of liquidity is procyclical and positively affects the economy. Likewise, Ibrahim (2016), Kasri et al (2017) and Zulkhibri and Sakti (2018) showed that the presence of Islamic banking can stabilize an economy during periods of liquidity shock. This result provides support for a macroprudential approach in addition to the microprudential approach as part of banking regulations.…”
