Abstract
During the period from 2007 to 2010, Islamic banking performance in developing countries encountered fluctuations of profitability. The rationale behind the reasons for these fluctuations remained a matter of research, and the existing literature review indicated a lack of extending these reasons to cover the context and characteristics of Islamic banking in developing countries. Thus, this study developed an extended framework concentrating on some internal and external factors which could provide a new understanding of the determinants of Islamic banking performance in developing countries. The internal factors are operationlised by using corporate governance and a new measurement of Islamic banking performance. The external factors influencing Islamic banking performance have been identified as economic growth (EG), the financial crisis (FC), and the legal origin (LO); in other words the formalities pertaining to banking in each country.
In relation to corporate governance, it is measured by a ten dimensions: CEO duality or Chairman duality (CD), board size (BOS), board independence (BI), block or large shareholder (LS), capital adequacy (CA), external auditor (EA), Shariah Supervisory Board independence (SSBI), Shariah Supervisory Board frequency of meetings (SSBF), Shariah Supervisory Board members‟ experience (SSBME) and Shariah Supervisory Board size (SSBS). Secondly, the measurement of Islamic banking performance is implemented utilising a combined set of indicators derived from conventional and Islamic literature.
