    Reasons for the transition of conventional banks to Islamic banking in Bangladesh: Evidence from balance sheets and factor analyses
    (International Islamic University Chittagong, 2022-12) Ahmmed, Monir
    The study aims to answer the research question of why conventional banks are interested in converting into Islamic banks. The study uses some financial and statistical tools for measuring the financial strength of some selected banks in the scenario of before and after conversion and also measures the perceptions of Bankers and Policymakers that lead to the conversion of the bankers by factor analysis covering the Islamic banks of Bangladesh, which were converted from conventional to Islamic in the era of private commercial banks. The study found a statistically significant difference in performance between the pre-conversion and the post-conversion scenarios of the selected banks based on different financial ratios like Profitability Ratios, Liquidity Ratios, Risk and solvency ratios and Efficiency ratios. However, the results have indicated that higher capitalization, lower credit risk, higher profitability, and significant market share from conversion are the main reasons for converting to the Islamic system rather than religious obligations.

    Role of financial inclusion on bank stability in Bangladesh
    (International Islamic University Chittagong, 2021-12) Chowdhury, Mohim Uddin,; Md Noman, Abu Hanifa
    This study investigates the role of financial inclusion on bank stability in Bangladesh. Financial inclusion indicates equality and availability of financial products to individuals and businesses, which is captured with natural logarithm of number of ATM per 100 thousand of people (lnATM), log of number of bank branch (lnBB), ratio of Private Credit to Gross Domestic Product (PCGDP), ratio of financial system deposit to GDP (FSDGDP). Conversely, bank stability is proxied by natural logarithm of Z-score (lnZ-score), and ratio of non-performing loan to gross loan (NPL ratio). In the investigation process, we have used an unbalanced panel dataset consisting of all commercial banks from Bangladesh over the 2002-2014 period. Controlling a number of bank-level and macro-economic variables, the random effect model demonstrates that financial inclusion is positively related with bank solvency and negatively related credit risk taking. The results suggest that financial inclusion is supportive for promoting bank stability in Bangladesh. Therefore, the paper proposes to bolster financial innovation in order to increase financial in Bangladesh.
