Background of the Study
Global economic trends—such as fluctuations in commodity prices, shifts in global capital flows, and evolving regulatory landscapes—profoundly influence the performance of financial institutions. Islamic banks, which operate under unique ethical and operational frameworks, are particularly sensitive to these trends. The performance of Islamic banking is affected by international economic conditions that determine investment opportunities, liquidity levels, and risk exposure (Rahman, 2023). With the increasing integration of global markets, Islamic banks must adapt their strategies to manage cross-border risks and capitalize on emerging opportunities. For instance, changes in global interest rate environments and currency fluctuations have direct implications for profit-sharing models and asset-backed financing mechanisms within Islamic banks (Al-Hassan, 2024).
Moreover, global economic trends often drive technological innovation, which Islamic banks can leverage to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency. Digital transformation initiatives, combined with global best practices, allow Islamic banks to improve risk management and competitiveness on the international stage (Ibrahim, 2025). However, adapting to these trends requires significant strategic agility and robust data analytics to forecast market movements accurately. This study explores how global economic trends impact Islamic banking performance, examining the interplay between external economic forces and internal operational strategies, and identifying the critical success factors for sustaining growth amid global volatility.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits, Islamic banks often struggle to effectively respond to global economic trends. One major challenge is the mismatch between global market dynamics and the traditional operational models of Islamic banks, which can lead to inefficiencies in risk management and reduced profitability (Ibrahim, 2023). Furthermore, limited access to real-time global data and advanced forecasting tools impairs the banks’ ability to anticipate and adapt to international economic shifts. Regulatory differences between countries also complicate cross-border transactions and hinder the seamless integration of global economic strategies (Al-Hassan, 2024). Additionally, geopolitical uncertainties and global market volatility create unpredictable conditions that challenge the stability of Islamic banking operations. These factors contribute to suboptimal performance, as banks may not be fully prepared to mitigate external shocks. There is a pressing need to examine the extent to which Islamic banks can align their strategies with global trends and to identify effective measures to enhance adaptability and competitiveness.
