Indonesian Islamic banks' green banking initiatives are examined in this study. Green Banking Disclosure Index (GBDI) indicators for 13 Islamic commercial banks were collected from their five-year sustainability reports. Bose et al. (2018)'s 21 GDBI indicators were thoroughly analyzed. Jeucken's typology measurement showed banks' four-stage movement from defensive and preventative to aggressive and \"sustainable\" in 2004. Jeucken's Typology of Banking and Sustainable Development functioned as the assessment framework for evaluating green banking performance. Among the 13 Islamic banks analysed, only six have chosen to publicly disclose their sustainability reports. The banks in question include Panin Dubai Syariah Bank, Muamalat Bank, Aladin Syariah Bank, Aceh Bank, BTPN Syariah Bank, and Mega Syariah Bank. The data reveals that no Islamic banks have reached the \"sustainable\" stage. Currently, two out of six Islamic banks are positioned in the offensive stage, while the other four are in the preventive stage. It can be posited that these financial institutions have commenced the shift towards a \"sustainable\" phase. The findings of this study on disclosure indicators in green banking indicate that Indonesian Islamic banks must revise their reporting methods concerning environmentally friendly banking practices. Moreover, considering their crucial role in advancing green banking in relation to sustainable development, Indonesian Islamic banks need to enhance the quality of their publicly accessible sustainability reports.","PeriodicalId":519001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (IJIEF)","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://journal.umy.ac.id/index.php/ijief/article/download/22411/11362","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147920986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Profitability (ROA) fluctuations are also assessed in consideration of exogenous shocks. This analysis uses the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to examine monthly data from 2007 to 2023. The results suggest that non-performing financing (NPF), exchange rates (BIRT), and inflation (IFLS) have a substantial impact on the long term. While the crisis variable exhibits a relatively less substantial influence, interest rates reveal distinct short-term and long-term impacts. The Impulse Response Function data indicate that NPF, KURS, and IFLS have a negligible effect on ROA. NPF primarily influences ROA variation, as determined by the Forecast Error Variance Decomposition; KURS follows suit. Islamic Banks' management must diligently oversee non-performing loans, exchange rates, and inflation and astutely devise interest rate strategies. The factors impacting the profitability of Islamic banks in Indonesia are thoroughly examined in this study.","PeriodicalId":519001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (IJIEF)","volume":"612 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140529316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
