Abstract

The corporate expansion approach is mergers and acquisitions. The paper aims to analyze the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the Islamic banking sector's operational performance. This study uses empirical research methodologies, such as panel data regression, to examine samples of 10 Islamic banks involved in M&A from 6 countries, gathered from the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, FicthConnect, and Bloomberg from 2004Q1 to 2020Q4. Accounting-based measurements are used to quantify operational success, whereas the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and the concentration ratio are used to signify market structure. To estimate M&A results, Stata package 14.2 is used (5 years pre and 5 years post). According to the findings, M&A improve the operational performance of Islamic banks. In addition, small-sized banks outperform large and medium-sized banks, market structure (LHHI) degrades M&A performance. Therefore, the paper suggests that Islamic banks should be involved in M&A deals and remove the constraints of size.
