    Bibliometric analysis of research trends in Islamic finance and investment
    (Open Access Journals incorporations, 2025-01-31) Saleh, Husny Gibreel Musa; Gissay, Amadou; Mamburay, Yankuba
    This study provides a bibliometric analysis of Islamic finance and investment, highlighting contributions and trends in the field from 2003 to 2023, using information from the Scopus database and displayed using the VOS viewer software. To chart the present state of international research on Islamic finance and investment, the PRISMA-compliant analysis includes an evaluation of the leading journals, nations, organizations, authors, document counts, and citation frequencies. We analyzed a corpus of 607 scholarly articles and found that Malaysia ranked first with 184 publications. International Islamic University Malaysia was the most productive institution, with 48 documents, and Hassan, M.K., was the most prolific author, with 22 articles and 9,427 citations. The Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research has the highest average citation per item. In contrast, the International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management has the most publications (33). Capital markets, Fintech, mutual funds, Sukuk, Islamic banks, commerce, and investing are some major trends. The results shed light on the industry's regulatory obstacles and provide policy suggestions to advance the growth of Islamic finance and investment and realize its potential advantages. Scholars, policymakers, and practitioners can rely on this bibliometric review as a fundamental resource when navigating the complexities of Islamic finance.

    Comparative analysis of board of directors term limits compliance in public and private institutions (case study in Gambia)
    (Program Studi Administrasi Publik, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik, Universitas Bojonegoro, Indonesia, 2024-10-10) Gissay, Amadou; Bah, Momodou Habib; Mamburay, Yankuba; Haule, Daigo Bernadetha
    This paper examines the comparative analysis of the board of directors’ term limits compliance in Non-Governmental Organizations and Public and Private Institutions in the Gambia. The objective of this study is to analyse the term limits of the board of directors in these three institutions and their impact on institutional performance. The study was conducted based on a sample size of 34 boards of directors using descriptive and thematic analysis approaches to analyze the data. The study found that institutions that comply with board tenure (term limits) enjoy rapid innovation and institutional growth compared to the institutions that neglect it. In addition, (Kroll et al., 2008) alluded that long-tenured directors are on the boards of scandal-ridden companies like Xerox, Worldcom, Tyco, and Enron and this lends credence to this viewpoint. Our findings also indicate that these companies have lower research and development (R&D), productivity and exploration intensity than their matched control companies. Further findings observed that board members have a term limit of 2.24 years on average. However, there is a considerable degree of fluctuation (standard deviation of 1.30). This shows that different institutions have different governance rules, with some having shorter-term restrictions and others allowing for longer periods. The study also recommends future research that may explore similar topics in diverse contexts, evaluating cultural differences in board dynamics and conducting assessments of governance protocols. You need to stick with either American or British English. E.g. be consistent with words like analyse or analyze. I have highlighted these two spellings because they’ve been used so many times and interchangeably. Please note the same for words like organisation and organization.

    Evaluating the impact of zakat on inclusive growth towards poverty reduction in Nusa Tenggara Timur
    (Akademi Zakat, 2024-09-04) Majid, Ruwaida Mohamed; Gissay, Amadou
    This study examines the effectiveness of zakat distribution in Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia, with a particular emphasis on how it affects access to basic services and the decrease of poverty for the period 2013-2022. Data was obtained from BPS Statistics Indonesia and Baznas National Zakat Statistics and analyzed using ordinary least squares regression model. The study finds that zakat distribution amounts significantly increase the number of poor people in Nusa Tenggara Timur. This result highlights structural problems with zakat institutions, such as poor institutional support, ineffective regulations, and problems with data administration. Second, the study shows that the fraction of households that get basic services is negatively impacted by the distribution of zakat. This implies that the ways in which zakat is distributed is not sufficient to promote inclusive growth, which might lead to the continuation of poverty cycles. The study underscores the necessity of implementing reforms in the zakat distribution, and reporting procedures. BAZNAS must implement complete digital solutions for transparent money tracking and effective distribution if they are to optimize the impact of zakat on poverty reduction. To enhance resource mobilization and distribution, private sector participation in zakat collection and cooperation with local governments are recommended.
