The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of Islamic financing on the performance of small-medium enterprises in Lasanod Somalia. Many businesses obtain financings such as Murabaha, Microfinance, and Qard Al Hassana from Islamic banks operating in Somalia to raise funds and capital required to expand and run their businesses smoothly. This study employs a quantitative research approach. A total of 148 questionnaires were distributed and collected from Small Medium Enterprises owners and workers in Lasanod Somalia who obtained Islamic financing from local Islamic banks in Somalia. The responses were analyzed using SPSS 21. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and bivariate regression analysis were conducted to investigate the impact of Islamic financing on the performances of businesses operating in Somalia. Small Medium Enterprises owners and workers believe that Islamic financing has helped their businesses to obtain the funds needed for their businesses to grow and expand beyond existing markets. Furthermore, this study suggests there is a positive relationship between Islamic financing and business performance. The finding of this paper is statistically significant.

Islamic banks are financial institutions just like conventional banks. However, Islamic banks do not deal with interest and are based on participation. These institutions raise funds and employ them within the scope of Islamic (Shariah) principles where the bank and the depositor share the business, thus sharing the profits and losses. This paper focuses on making a comparative between three Islamic banks in Turkey and five Islamic banks in the United Kingdom in terms of financial performance. More so, it aims to investigate whether or not Islamic banks in Turkey are more profitable, less risky, liquid, operationally efficient, and have a good management quality compared to the Islamic banks in UK. The time span used in this study is one period. The period is four years from 2013 until 2016. Our study used time series data (pooled Least Squares) (PLS) as panel regression on nine financial ratios (CAMEL) to examine the financial performance of these banks according to their profitability, Capital adequacy, Asset quality (riskiness and solvency), Management quality, Earning diversification (operationally efficient), and Liquidity. However, our results are insignificant for UK and significant in Turkey in terms of asset quality and management quality.

Bu çalışmada, finansal ve politik risk gibi makroekonomik faktörlerin BIST'de yer alan bankaların hisse senedi getirileri üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. 2008-2018 dönemine ait aylık veriyi kapsayan bu çalışmada panel veri regresyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Bağımlı değişken olarak BIST'de yer alan 13 bankanın hisse senedi getirileri kullanılmıştır. Bağımsız değişken olarak ise; finansal risk oranı, politik risk oranı, enflasyon oranı, faiz oranı ve döviz kuru değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; politik risk oranı ve döviz kuru değişkenleri ile hisse senedi getiri oranları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilirken, faiz oranı değişkeni ile hisse senedi getiri oranları arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Finansal risk oranı ve enflasyon oranı değişkenleri ile hisse senedi getirileri arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.
