Measurement the Performance Levels of Islamic Banks in Jordan

Abstract

For now, there are incomplete studies to investigate the Jordan Islamic banks' (IBs) performance. Also, there is evidence of increasing withdrawal of investors from IBs to commercial banks as a result of decreased confidence among depositors and minimize of profits. This study focuses on using secondary data analysis to measure the performance of three IBs in Jordan over the period of 2005-2015. The Jordanian IBs are as follow; Jordan Islamic Bank for Finance and Investment (JIBFI), Islamic International Arabic Bank (IIAB), and Jordan Dubai Islamic Bank (JDIB). The analytical part consists of two intervals; the first interval from (2005-2009) for JIBF and IIAB. The second interval from (2010-2015) includes the three IBs. This study will include three measuring tools; (1) Financial Ratio Analysis, (2) Data Envelopment Analysis and (3) Maqasid Index.
