Description
Summary:Purpose – The study investigates the performance of non-performing financing (NPF) in the housing sector concerning the asymmetric influence of macroeconomic conditions. Methodology – The study method adopts nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL), while the study data ranges from 2014 m6 to 2022 m2. Finding –The findings reveal an asymmetric relationship between macroeconomic variables and NPF in the short and long run. In addition, Covid-19 has worsened the NPF of Islamic banks' home financing in some sectors in the short run, while only such financing in the flat and apartment market has suffered during the pandemic in the long run. Implication – The implication of the study suggests that the Islamic banking industry and financial authority need robust risk management and financial policies, respectively, to achieve and maintain the stability of Islamic banks in home financing activities. Originality – The study is original in measuring the impact of macroeconomic influences on Islamic banks' home financing from a nonlinear viewpoint.
