Abstract

This study aims to examine the profit-sharing system in Islamic banks in overcoming the adverse selection issue and the practice of implementing the profit-sharing system. In this study, evaluative and descriptive methods were used. The results of this study indicate that theoretically the issue of asymmetric information can be overcome by a profit-sharing system in Islamic banks. In practice, the profit-sharing system has been implemented at Bank NTB Syariah as a superior product in productive financing. The market share of the profit-sharing system at Bank NTB Syariah was at 64.73 percent in 2019 and increased to 68.55 percent in 2020 with a growth of 35.78 percent. The Covid-19 pandemic does not significantly affect the health condition of Bank NTB Syariah where Bank NTB Syariah remains relatively healthy before and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
