A comparative analysis of the productivity of Islamic banking in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam during the period 2012-2017

The development of Islamic banks has occurred very rapidly in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. The comparison among the three countries is very important, as are the operational considerations and consideration of State institutions. Efficiency and productivity are two of the performance indicators of banking. A comparison of the productivity of the banking between these countries would be helpful to identify the successes and failures of the policy bank. The method used in this study is the Malmquist Index. The Malmquist Index is an index used to compare bilateral production technology of the two elements of the economy. In this case, the index consists of several results, including efficiency change, technological change, pure efficiency change, economic change and the scale of the TFP change. The Malmquist Index is a measure of TFP changes from time to time and describes the company's performance during a certain period. The stages of development in this research comprised the collection of data from the Syariah banks in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, during the period of 2012-2017 and processing the data using the method of the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI).
