Description
Summary:This study investigates the relationship between Institutional quality, Economic freedom, technological advancement, and Islamic financial development in selected OIC countries. This study employs the panel estimation method to examine annual data pertaining to Islamic bank industries across 22 countries, sourced from the SESRIC database, from 2013 to 2021. The findings show that the overall quality of institutions and economic freedom influence Islamic finance development. Further, the contribution of technological development appears when institutional quality indicates higher performance. Despite the predominant correlation observed among institutional indicators, this study, focusing on a comprehensive index, reveals a consistent and significant contribution of institutional quality to the growth of Islamic finance. Furthermore, this study's findings show that institutional quality and economic freedom are related; yet, the methods by which the foundations of each indicator influence financial development differ. The findings of this research underscore the importance of urging policymakers, particularly governmental authorities, to prioritize the development of policies and initiatives aimed at fostering a healthy and conducive environment. Emphasizing practical and transparent institutional frameworks is essential for cultivating a well-regulated economic environment.
