Background of the Study
Liquidity management is a critical function in ensuring the stability and efficiency of banking operations. In Islamic banks, liquidity management poses unique challenges due to the prohibition of interest and the reliance on asset-backed financing. Techniques such as commodity murabaha, tawarruq, and interbank liquidity arrangements are employed to manage short-term liquidity needs while remaining compliant with Shariah principles (Al-Hassan, 2023). Recent technological advancements, including real-time data analytics and automated cash flow monitoring, have further enhanced liquidity management practices. These innovations allow Islamic banks to better forecast liquidity requirements and respond rapidly to market changes (Rahman, 2024). Moreover, effective liquidity management is essential for mitigating risks associated with market volatility and ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. As global financial markets become more interconnected, the importance of advanced liquidity management techniques in Islamic banking continues to grow (Ibrahim, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite advancements, Islamic banks often encounter challenges in effectively managing liquidity. One significant issue is the limited availability of Shariah-compliant liquidity instruments, which can lead to suboptimal cash management and increased risk exposure (Al-Hassan, 2023). Additionally, the integration of new digital tools with traditional liquidity management frameworks can be problematic, resulting in data discrepancies and delayed decision-making. Regulatory constraints and market uncertainties further complicate the ability to forecast and maintain adequate liquidity levels. These challenges hinder the banks’ capacity to respond to sudden market disruptions and may compromise financial stability. Addressing these issues is critical for ensuring that Islamic banks can maintain operational resilience while adhering to ethical principles.
