Potential of Islamic Insurance Market: Islamic Banking and Sukuk Sectors Case Study in Indonesia

This paper predicts the potential of the Indonesian Islamic insurance market, approached by calculating the premium contribution from the Islamic banking and sukuk sectors. This paper aims to determine and analyze the potential development of Islamic insurance market in Indonesia, seen from total contributions from Islamic banking and sukuk sectors over the next five years. The paper uses the Box-Jenkins ARIMA method which is one of the quantitative forecasting methods. The results of this study indicate that over the next five years, the total contribution of Islamic insurance will experience positive growth and it is predicted that it will have a total contribution of IDR 11,568.40 billion in 2023 from Islamic banking and sukuk sectors with the biggest contributor from the Islamic banking sector. The ARIMA forecasting results show a positive trend in the premium contribution of the Islamic banking and sukuk sectors from year to year. Even so, the growth will experience a slowdown. The prediction of a slowdown in the two sectors in its contribution to the Islamic insurance market in Indonesia is a sign that there might be a decline in the total financing growth by Islamic banking. Likewise with the sukuk sector, both state and corporate sukuk are predicted to experience a slowdown in the growth of Islamic insurance premiums

This study aims to analyze the efficiency of property and real estate issuers listed in the Indonesia Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) during 2016-2020 period and the factors that influence it. In the first stage, the researcher analyzes the efficiency value of property and real estate issuers using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. In the second stage, the researcher analyzes the factors that influence the efficiency value of property and real estate issuers by using tobit regression. There are 16 issuers used in this study. The results showed that none of the issuers consistently achieved the perfect technical efficiency score (the efficiency score is equal to 1) during the study period. The same thing happened to the pure technical efficiency analysis and the efficiency scale results. The results of the tobit model regression showed that the Return on Assets (ROA) has significant positive effect and the exchange rate (LNKURS) has significant negative effect on the efficiency value of property and real estate issuers. Meanwhile, the Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), company size (LNSIZE), and interest rate (BIRATE) do not have significant effect on the efficiency of property and real estate issuers

The estimation results using the REM model show that the variables of total assets and GDP have a positive and significant effect. Meanwhile, the contribution allowance, claim allowance, and inflation variables have a negative and significant effect
