Islamic banks as one of the MSME stakeholders, must participate in helping and resurrecting MSMEs so that they can grow and develop like their normal conditions. This research uses a descriptive approach by using secondary data from Islamic banking statistics during the COVID-19 period (March 2020 to February 2022. Data analysis used reduction, display, and descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that the role of Islamic banks during the COVID-19 pandemic was manifested in three ways, namely 1) as a distributor of assistance from the government, 2) providing financing restructuring, and 3) encouraging increased financing for MSMEs. The development of Islamic bank financing during the COVID-19 pandemic was relatively stable and even had an average increase compared to the pre-covid-19 period. The increase in working capital financing was by 21%, while the average investment financing increased by 31.72%. The NPF ratio of Islamic banks during the COVID-19 pandemic on a monthly average was above the maximum standard set by Bank Indonesia for this type of working capital financing, which was 5.05%. On the other hand, the NPF ratio of working capital financing above 5% also occurred 15 times in 24 months of observation. Meanwhile, the NPF ratio for investment financing during the COVID-19 period was, on average, below Bank Indonesia's standard of 4.05%. However, in certain months it shows that the NPF ratio for investment financing is still above 5%. This must be a concern because Islamic banks are considered not to apply the principle of prudence in providing financing.
