Abstract

This study examines the determinants of profitability in Islamic banks by analyzing the effects of Net Profit Margin (NPM), Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Debt-to-Asset Ratio (DAR), and Third-Party Funds (DPK) on Return on Assets (ROA). Using secondary data from 20 Islamic banks across 12 countries (2019–2023), panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM) was employed. The results show that NPM and DAR significantly affect ROA, while NPF and DPK have no significant individual impact. However, collectively, these variables significantly influence profitability, with an Adjusted R-squared of 36.24%. The findings emphasize the need for Islamic banks to improve efficiency, manage debt structures prudently, and optimize fund allocation to strengthen global profitability.
