Background of the Study
Government policies play a critical role in shaping the financial sector by setting regulatory frameworks, providing incentives, and facilitating market development. In Islamic banking, supportive government policies are essential for expansion, particularly in emerging markets where the sector is growing rapidly. Policy measures such as tax incentives, regulatory harmonization, and dedicated funding for financial inclusion have proven instrumental in fostering the growth of Islamic banks (Ibrahim, 2023). These policies not only create a conducive environment for Islamic finance to thrive but also help standardize practices and improve transparency. By aligning national economic development strategies with the principles of Islamic finance, governments can boost investor confidence and promote ethical banking practices (Al-Hassan, 2024). Furthermore, digital transformation initiatives driven by government policies have enhanced the operational efficiency of Islamic banks, enabling them to reach underserved populations and expand their market presence (Rahman, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of supportive government policies, Islamic banking often faces challenges in leveraging these policies for sustainable expansion. One major issue is the inconsistency in policy implementation across different regions, which leads to uneven growth and market fragmentation (Ibrahim, 2023). Additionally, regulatory uncertainty and frequent policy changes can disrupt strategic planning and delay long-term investments. The high cost of compliance with evolving regulations may also inhibit innovation and restrict market expansion. Furthermore, a lack of targeted policies that address the unique needs of Islamic finance—such as Shariah-compliant financial instruments and ethical investment frameworks—can result in missed opportunities for growth. These challenges underscore the need for a comprehensive evaluation of how government policies impact the expansion of Islamic banking and the development of strategies to enhance policy effectiveness.
