This book is for those interested to know more about Islamic
banking. In addition, it provides insights to both regulators and
practitioners to focus their efforts in balancing their portfolio
and improving the health of their Islamic banks for the future.
Past studies have shown that Islamic banks, unlike their
conventional banking counterparts, were better able to weather the
global financial crisis partly due to the nature of the Islamic
finance which prohibits excessive risk taking. In this book, the
authors review the Islamic finance in terms of governance and
firms' characteristics. We elaborate the relationships between
corporate governance and firm characteristics with Risk Weighted
Capital Adequacy Ratio (RWCAR) of full-fledged Islamic Banks in
Malaysia. The motivation for the study is to seek whether the RWCAR
of Islamic banks is influenced by the Corporate Governance and Firm
Characteristics variables post 2008 global financial crisis.
Descriptive statistics were presented and correlation using
Pearson's Model Correlation Coefficient (PMCC) was observed and
analyzed. The findings reveal that Corporate Governance has no
direct relationship with the RWCAR of Islamic banks in Malaysia.
Instead, firm characteristics variables such as Total Financing
Assets and Effective Foreign Ownership have a strong relationship
with RWCAR.
