The impact of deposit structure on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks

Pages: 99-111

PDF Full Text
Abstract

      The current study aimed to investigate the impact of the structure deposits on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks over the period from 2016 to 2022 using data of 13 banks. We employed cross-sectional time series models (panel data), including the pooled regression model, the fixed effects model, and the random effects model to analyze the impact of the deposit structure on the bank profitability.

The results indicated that the current deposits represented the largest proportion of the deposit structure in Iraqi Islamic banks. Additionally, the results revealed a negative and significant effect of the current deposit ratio on the profitability of these banks. This could be attributed to Islamic banks holding a considerable proportion of demand deposits; which could be withdrawn at any time and Islamic banks guarantee repayment of the principal deposited, and account holders do not have rights to a share in the profits. Therefore, Islamic banks usually invest only a small fraction of the current accounts.  In contrast, we found a positive and significant impact of the savings deposit ratio and the investment deposit ratio on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks. The study recommends that Islamic banks should adopt strategies aimed at attracting more deposits, particularly investment deposits, due to their stability and flexibility in investment. Such these deposits can be utilized for medium- and long-term investments, providing further opportunities to increase profitability.

Abstract

The current study examines the impact of income diversification on the profitability and stability of Jordanian commercial banks. The study sample consisted of (13) commercial banks operating in Jordan for the period 2010-2022. The secondary data included in the financial reports and annual budgets issued by the Jordanian commercial banks are also considered. The study employs the ratio of non-interest income to total operating income and the Hirschman-Herfindahl index to measure income diversification, while the return on assets and return on equity indices were used to measure bank profitability. To measure financial stability, the z-score value was calculated. The Panel Data regression model was employed, and the random effect model was chosen to test the study hypotheses. The results showed that the ratio of non-interest income has a positive and significant impact on the profitability of Jordanian commercial banks. This indicates that increasing reliance on non-interest income sources enhances the performance and profitability of Jordanian commercial banks. The results also showed that the HHI index has a positive and significant effect on the profitability and stability of Jordanian commercial banks, which means that increasing the level of diversification in income sources leads to increased profitability and financial stability in Jordanian commercial banks. The study recommended the necessity of encouraging commercial banks to innovate financially and provide digital banking services and other non-traditional services due to their role in increasing profits and financial stability in Jordanian commercial banks.

Abstract

The research intends to show the internal determinants and to evaluate and measure their impact on commercial bank profitability, as internal determinants are key and influential indicators on Joint Stock companies performance that are within their control and management. The bank's size) as internal factors have become a concern for them in view of the quick changes and advances in the banking world and its technologies.

As a result, for the period 2015-2020, this research was applied to a sample of Joint Stock companies listed in the Iraqi market for securities, represented by the selection of (13) banks, namely Ashur, Baghdad, Iraqi commercial, investment, Iraqi Gulf, international development, Sumer, Mosul, Mansour, Al-Ahly of Iraq, Al-Mutated, Middle East, and used the descriptive analytical approach of the research variables available in the research sample banks in order to Return on deposits, rate of return on available money (as calculated by the statistical tool EViews V9), and use of panel data analysis according to the three models (accumulation regression model, fixed-effects model, random-effects model) according to this analysis, which will cover the research period (2015-2020). With the research sample represented by (13) banks. Through the application of tablet data, it was discovered that the internal determinants do not significantly affect the profitability ratios or the dependent variable at a significant level of 5 and 10%/4, respectively, whereas the aggregate model was significant and more appropriate according to the restricted f test, i.e. accepting the fifth hypothesis and vice versa if it was rejected. The constant is preferable, but if the Hausman test discovered a Chi-sq value less than the tabular at the 5% level, then this model is preferable to the constant, i.e. the rejection of the sixth hypothesis, and if the coefficient of determination was stronger and significant in the fixed model. than the random model It is more likely and appropriate according to these results.
