Interest rate volatility and financing of Islamic banks

Abstract: Despite a direct ban on charging interest, interest-based benchmarks are used as a pricing reference by a majority of Islamic banks, due in part to the absence of stable and widely- published alternatives. Benchmarking interest rate exposes Islamic banks to the problems of conventional banks, particularly the interest rate risk. Against this backdrop, the present study empirically examines the dynamic linkage between the interest rate volatility and the financing of Islamic banks. The empirical analysis is car… Show more

“…The results of this segment supported the earlier findings in another study (Yusof et al , 2018), which depicts the influence of interest rates in benchmarking Islamic banks’ financing. Recent findings on the decoupling hypothesis between interest rates and Islamic banks’ financing also exhibit the influence of the conventional interest rate in providing finances (Nouman et al , 2022). Therefore, regulators and Sharia advisory councils must provide other insights to strengthen the decoupling trend between interest and financing of Islamic banks.…”

“…However, while Islamic banks are prohibited from charging interest, they often use interest-based benchmarks as a reference for pricing. This exposes them to interest rate risk, which can negatively impact their financing instruments, including mortgage products with murabaha contracts (Seho et al, 2020;Nouman et al, 2022). Islamic banks also face competition from conventional banks that offer interest-based mortgages.…”

“…Based on this explanation, interest rates affect bank credit growth (Rahmananingtyas 2022;Tanjung et al, 2022). The findings Nouman et al (2022) describe a positive relationship between variables because interest rates are considered a stable alternative and rising interest rates can spur a bank to make profits. H7: Interest Rates has a significant positive effect on the Islamic banking financing…”
