Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the effects of the COVID‐19 crisis on the performance of 49 listed banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, during the period from the first quarter of 2017 through the third quarter of 2020. The findings reveal that GCC banks were negatively affected by the pandemic. However, Islamic banks have performed better than conventional banks. The results also show that the banks in Saudi Arabia and UAE were affected more than the banks in other GCC countries. We also show that Islamic banks which are government‐linked, those that are large and those with high loan ratios were more affected by the pandemic. Overall, we argue that Islamic banks can play a significant role in the recovery of GCC countries from the consequences of the pandemic.

COVID - 19对伊斯兰和传统海湾合作委员会银行业绩的影响

摘要本文调查了2017年第一季度至2020年第三季度期间，2019冠状病毒病危机对海湾合作委员会（GCC）国家49家上市银行业绩的影响。调查结果显示，海湾合作委员会的银行受到疫情的负面影响。然而，伊斯兰银行的表现要好于传统银行。结果还显示，沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的银行比海湾合作委员会其他国家的银行受到的影响更大。我们还表明，与政府有联系的伊斯兰银行、大型银行和贷款比率高的银行受到疫情的影响更大。总的来说，我们认为伊斯兰银行可以在海湾合作委员会国家从疫情后果中复苏方面发挥重要作用。

期刊介绍： The scope of the Review of Financial Economics (RFE) is broad. The RFE publishes original research in finance (e.g. corporate finance, investments, financial institutions and international finance) and economics (e.g. monetary theory, fiscal policy, and international economics). It specifically encourages submissions that apply economic principles to financial decision making. For example, while RFE will publish papers which study the behavior of security prices and those which provide analyses of monetary and fiscal policies, it will offer a special forum for articles which examine the impact of macroeconomic factors on the behavior of security prices.
