To stimulate the economy, regulators across all jurisdictions have been taking unconventional approaches. Thus, in recent years, the management of benchmark rates (or interest rates) has received considerable prominence in the banking sector due to some reasons including supervision banks' benchmark rates under Basel II. This paper reviews the possible dysfunctional implications of lowly and/or negative rates and provides a risk management and regulatory perspective for Islamic banks. These consequences call for a better risk management with appropriate tools and effective supervisory oversight. It hoped that the initial discussion presented in this paper on the implications and controls invites a broader debate on this issue in the Islamic financial services industry.

This paper is to analyse determinants that influence implementation of accounting standards for Islamic financial institutions. It’s done by examining the history of accounting standards and two different contexts as applied to Islamic financial institutions in the United Kingdom and Indonesia. The paper adopts meta-analysis method by exploring available texts and literature with the goal to learn 'what is going on here?' and to investigate social phenomena without explicit expectations. Employing the Ibn Khaldun perspective, this study analyses two determinants i.e. institutional setting that may be suitable in the context of the United Kingdom, and accounting needs in the case of Indonesia. The research shows the determinants are well fitted with interdisciplinary characters of Ibn Khaldun model of civilization . DOI: 10.15408/aiq.v10i1.5676

According to understand the behavior of Islamic equity markets the primary objective of this research is to analyze the effect of macroeconomic indicators and International Islamic Index on return volatility of Jakarta Islamic Index. The analysis method used in this study is AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroscedastic-Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (ARCH-GARCH). The result of this research showed that all variables, i.e., BI rate, inflation rate, IDR-USD exchange rate, DJIUS index, DJIUK index, FTSJP index and FTSMY index have a simultaneously significant impact on return volatility of JII. While t-test results show that BI rate, IDR-USD exchange rate, DJIUK index and FTSMY index have a substantial effect on return volatility of JII. DOI: 10.15408/aiq.v10i1.5550

This paper aims to identify and evaluate differences in the fundraising strategies implemented by different types of zakah institutions in Indonesia, to optimize the country's potential for zakah collection. This study using a qualitative approach, which using semi-structured interviews conducted with zakah organizations in Indonesia. The main finding suggests that differences in fundraising strategies indeed exist. Corporate and government zakah agencies tend to use traditional fundraising strategies, with a partnership approach for collecting zakah and a community-oriented approach for communicating zakah. In contrast, private zakah agencies tend to use market-oriented fundraising strategies allied with retail collection approach and an individual communication approach. It also suggested that the market-oriented fundraising strategy has resulted in higher and more sustainable revenues, indicating consistency with the resource dependence theory of fundraising.
