Abstract
This research compares Islamic and conventional banks' support for SMEs. This study uses panel regression estimates for SMEs financing growth and percentage of overall financing in Islamic and conventional banking. Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, OJK's website provides SMEs financing data. The same source provides bank numbers, total assets, capital adequacy ratios, and FDR or LDR for each banking system. Real GDP growth, percent change in CPI, and government domestic debt growth are collected from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and Bank Indonesia, respectively. Islamic banks are not friendlier to SMEs, according to the results. Islamic financing must fit into the global SME finance agenda. G20 Investment and Infrastructure Working Group (IIWG) and Global Partnership on Financial Inclusion (GPFI) priority reform measures may help introduce Islamic financial products.
