This research aims to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of financial management in the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) "Berkah" in Ajakkang Village, Soppeng Riaja District, Barru Regency. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that BUMDes "Berkah" has successfully met community needs through three main business units: Farmers' Shop, Stationery Business, and Savings and Loans. The Farmers' Shop improves farmers' access to quality agricultural inputs at affordable prices, the Stationery Business fulfills educational and office needs of the community, while the Savings and Loans provides financial access with low interest rates. However, significant challenges remain, including lack of transparency and accountability in financial reporting, limited stock, and limited public understanding of financial services. To enhance effectiveness and efficiency, increased transparency, training for managers, and improved promotional strategies are recommended. This study concludes that with further refinement, BUMDes "Berkah" can serve as an effective model for village economic empowerment in Indonesia.

THE THOUGHT OF SHEIKH MUHAMMAD ARSYAD AL-BANJARI: THE RELEVANCE OF PRODUCTIVE ZAKAT IN EMPOWERING THE ECONOMY OF SOCIETY IN INDONESIA

The thoughts of Muhammad Sheikh Arsyad Al-Banjari significantly contribute to the concept of productive zakat as a tool for community economic empowerment in Indonesia. In this context, zakat is viewed not only as a religious obligation but also as a strategic instrument for enhancing community welfare through providing capital for small and medium enterprises. This research aims to analyze Muhammad Sheikh Arsyad Al-Banjari's thoughts on community empowerment through productive zakat in Indonesia. The study falls under a qualitative descriptive cluster with a literature review; data collection is conducted by gathering previous research related to Muhammad Sheikh Arsyad Al-Banjari's thoughts and productive zakat. Data analysis is carried out through data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that Muhammad Sheikh Arsyad Al-Banjari's thoughts on productive zakat offer a new perspective on economic empowerment in communities. The relevance of this concept is particularly important in the Indonesian context, which still faces various economic challenges. With appropriate implementation, productive zakat can not only be a solution to poverty but also promote community independence and sustainable welfare. Community empowerment through productive zakat is expected to enhance community economies, eradicate poverty, and foster community empowerment. However, the implementation of community empowerment through productive zakat in Indonesia faces obstacles, such as a lack of awareness and knowledge, as well as ineffective management and oversight. This is due to the community's mindset, which is not yet accustomed to productive zakat, as zakat management is typically consumptive or directly received by the community. Therefore, the concept of productive zakat is still not well understood, leading to a lack of trust in zakat managers.

BANKING MODEL AND MONETARY TRANSMISSION MECHANISM IN INDONESIA: ARE ISLAMIC BANKS MORE EFFECTIVE?

Ilhamdi Ilhamdi, Luqman Luqman, Jati Kusuma Ali — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Economic growth, both global and national, is slowing down, prompting monetary authorities to issue effective monetary policies through credit lines to encourage economic growth. In the dual banking system where there are Islamic banks and conventional banks, it is a challenge for the monetary authorities to see the effectiveness of the two banks in transmitting monetary policy. To find out the difference in effectiveness levels, the researcher used quarterly data from Bank Indonesia interest rate variables, gross domestic product (GDP), Islamic bank financing, and conventional bank loans for the period 2014 to 2024. Using VAR-ECM analysis, it was found that Islamic banks have a lower response than conventional banks in transmitting monetary policy through credit channel. In addition, Syrian banks also have lower effectiveness than conventional banks in encouraging economic growth in Indonesia.

Customer loyalty to Islamic banks is one of the keys to sustainability for the Islamic banking industry, especially in strong competition facing conventional banks and financial technology (fintech) innovation. Nevertheless, literature regarding this topic has not been systematically mapped. Using a bibliometric approach, this study analyzes the publication trends, leading researchers, and collaboration patterns in Islamic bank customer loyalty studies. The Web of Science (WoS) is used to collect data and the keywords for customer loyalty and Islamic banks, and the time range of 2010 to 2024 is utilized for this study. Analysis using NVivo 12 and Voyant Tools (for network mapping and descriptive statistics) In the results of the study, 174 published documents were identified, where research articles predominated, a total of 156 articles. This publication trend has been on the rise, even peaking in 2023 with 30 publications. Indonesia and Malaysia stand out geographically as the leading contributors, mirroring the role of both countries as the strategic focal point of Islamic financial development. The most highly productive institutions are establishments such as Bandung State Polytechnic (Indonesia) and International Islamic University Malaysia (Malaysia). These findings offer an invaluable literature map so that further research and strategic ante-projects could be developed, of course with some added value for Islamic banking practitioners in its context of increasing customer loyalty. This study contributes to the academic knowledge with a bibliometric method, which is not widely used in the Islamic banking context.
