Abstract: This study investigated the speed of adjustment of non-performing financing in several sectors in Bahrain. This study used ANOVA, Johansen cointegration, and VEC models. The equality of mean test showed the mean difference between economically contributing financing and non-performing financing in Bahrain. The Johansen cointegration result revealed evidence of one (1) cointegration between each sector under consideration, supporting the weak-form efficiency market hypothesis. The findings revealed that some non-performing financing in Bahraini non-oil sectors made greater efforts to re-establish equilibrium in the face of a short-run shock. In contrast, some others adjusted at a relatively slow pace. However, some non-performing financing showed no indication of the rate of adjustment. These findings were further illustrated graphically using the Impulse response function graph. The findings suggested that the Bahrain Islamic finance industry should reduce nonperforming financing even further because most of the speeds of adjustment are either slow or non-existent.
