Bank Lending Procyclicality of Islamic and Conventional Banks in Indonesia

Financial system stabilityWhy its important for Islamic Banks (iB)?
Financial stability becomes important for iB due to: (1). iB are closely interact with
conventional ones in dual-banking system
(2). iB have limited hedging instruments to protect their risk-exposure due to a small
size compared to conventional ones.
Shariah values of Islamic banksiB is derived from shariah principles
towards achieving the maqasid al-shariah (the objective of shariah)
Promoting risk-sharing and equity based transactions
Essential features of Islamic banking & financeiB provides various instruments in line with
Islamic principles: prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (excessive uncertainty) &
maysir (speculation)
iB / finance must be linked with real economic activities, or be accompanied by underlying productive economic activities
Procyclicality of banking system
Research Objectives
To examine bank lending behaviour in a dual banking system in Indonesia
To ascertaining whether Islamic banks have a role in stabilizing the credit.
To test the procyclicality of Islamic and conventional banks in Indonesia using a dynamic panel regression

Significance of ResearchBank lending
behaviourBank-level
data iB vs CB
• Ensuring whether the iB have a role in stabilizing the credit
• Place an attention on heterogeneous responses of banks during economic crisis
• The impact of iB system on lending procyclicality
• Prior studies rely on bank-level panel data from many countries. In this case, we employ bank-level panel data of only a single country, i.e. Indonesia
• We focus on bank lending procyclicalty in dual banking system.
• We believe that its will more meaningful to look at how iB adjust their financing decision vis a vis to CB counterpart
Literature ReviewIslamic banking and financial stability
Studies Pros & Cons Findings
Chapra (2009) ProsPLS contract will ensure the greater discipline of iB, and such discipline carries greater stability and efficiency
Buiter (2014) ProsThe inherent stability of iB due to the ban of interest in deposit-lending activities, condemnation of leverage, and excessive speculation
Galati & Moesner (2013) Pros Moral values enshrined in sharia make iB more stable
than conventional ones,
Husman (2015) Pros iB is relatively stable
Chong & Liu (2009) Cons No difference between iB & CB since the PLS constitute only a small portion of iB assets
Abdul Rahman et al (2014) Cons Question the ability of iB to uplift the PLS activities
Hasan & Dridi (2011) Cons The profitability of iB is more negatively affected when the crisis hit the real sector
Literature ReviewProcyclicality of banking system
Studies Samples Findings
Ascarya et al (2016) iB & CB Indonesia
iB is more procyclical than conventional ones. Yet, this procyclicality can be regarded as good procyclicality since it does not create credit bubbles
Zhang & Zoli (2016) Asian market Loan-loss provision is an important instrument to address procyclicality
Ibrahim (2016) iB & CB Malaysia
iB (full-fledged in particular) are more counter-cyclical in their financing decision
Farooq & Zaher (2015) `
iB are less prone to liquidiity shocks, it showing the potential stabilizing effect of their financing decision
Data & Methodology
Why use GMM? (1). Autocorrelation problem resulted from the incorporation of a lagged dependent variable into regressors
(2). Effects of heterogeneity among the individuals
Methodology (GMM Estimator)GMM estimator can take care of problems of fixed effects and endogeneity without producing dynamic panel bias
GMM model is flexible in handling unbalanced panels, such as micro panel data used in this research
DataAll data for bank lending procyclicality were retrieved from Bank Scope. The macroeconomic information was retrieved from Bank of Indonesia website
We include 60 banks covering both CB & iB in Indonesia, which consists of 50 CB and 10 iB. Our dataset spans from 2001 until 2015.
Model Estimation & Testing
Autocorrelation Test (AR1/AR2)
Instrumental Variable Test (Sargan Test)
Model Estimation & Testing
= Level of deflated gross loan of bank i in period t
= The lagged of deflated gross loan of bank i in period t
= A scalar
= The explanatory variables of bank i in period t
= A random error term which consists of two components= The unobservable time-invariant individual or bank
specific effects= The remainder disturbance
Model Estimation & Testing (2)
= Natural logarithm of CPI-deflated gross loans of bank i in period t
= The lagged of CPI-deflated gross loans of bank i in period t
= Natural logarithm of real GDP
= A vector of bank-specific variables
Inf = Inflation rate= The first difference of operator
= Bank-specific effects
= A random error term

Conclusion & Policy Recommendations
1
• In all samples, bank procyclicality applied for both conventional & Islamic banks. However, when we categorize into CB & iB, we find no support that Islamic bank is more procyclical in their financing. In fact, iB in general and large size iB in particular can even be counter-cyclical in their financing activities
2• The study unveils the tip of iceberg of the role
played by Islamic banks in smoothing their credit during the time of economic downturns. In all cases, Islamic banks are tend to be counter-cyclical than conventional ones.
3• As for the regulators, procyclicality as one the
major causes of systemic risk should be well understood. Islamic banks in Indonesia tend to be counter-cyclical, while conventional ones is more procyclical in their lending behavior.
4• As a consequence, it is required to established
a sound framework and effective instruments to address the procyclical issues between the two banking system. macroprudential policies and framework for Islamic and conventional banks should be unique and effective to prevent systemic risk and financial imbalances.
