Risk Management Practices In Islamic Banking Institutions: A Comparative Study Between Malaysia And Jordan

Abstract

The results of the analysis revealed that factors, such as the level of understanding risk management, risk assessment and analysis, risk control, and monitoring, feature more prominently in Malaysian Islamic Banks than in their Jordanian counterparts. However, Jordan’s IBs are ahead in terms of the level of risk management practices. Both countries are similar in their risk identification. It is also found that Islamic Banks in Malaysia and Jordan are somewhat reasonably efficient in managing risk where risk assessment and analysis (RAA), and risk control and monitoring (RCM) are the most influencing variables in RMPs in Malaysia; whilst understanding risk management (URM) and risk control and monitoring (RCM) are good predictors of RMPs in Jordan.
