MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Merger and acquisition (hereafter M&A) is the business expansion strategy. Islamic bank is the niche banking sector compared to its peers while it is categorized as too small to succeed. The paper aims to analyze the impact of M&A on the operational performance of the Islamic banking sector. This study employs empirical research methods, namely cross-sectional pooled regression and panel data regression to analyse a set of samples consisting of 10 Islamic banks involved in M&A from 6 countries, drawn from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World bank, FicthConnect and Bloomberg over the years of 2009Q1 to 2018Q4. The operational performance is estimated using accounting-based measures while the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) and the concentration ratio (CR) are applied to signify market structure. Total assets, total deposits and operating income variables are used to represent bank size. The findings indicate that bank size shows negative impact on operational performance. While the segregated level of bank size which is larger banks and concentrated market structure have a greater impact on the operational performance of Islamic banks in the post-M&A period. The paper concludes by discussing policy implications for policy-makers and academicians for having the strategic decision on the M&A deal and further research.
