Abstract:





General Background: The volatility of foreign exchange rates poses significant risks to financial stability, especially in Islamic banking, where conventional hedging instruments are often non-compliant with Sharia principles. Specific Background: In Indonesia, Islamic banks increasingly engage in international transactions, amplifying exposure to currency fluctuations without sufficient Sharia-compliant risk mitigation tools. Knowledge Gap: Despite various studies on individual hedging instruments, a comprehensive synthesis evaluating the effectiveness and implementation challenges of Islamic hedging in Indonesia has been lacking. Aims: This study aims to systematically review the application of three primary Islamic hedging instruments—wa’d-based forward, cross currency swaps, and natural hedging—in Indonesian Islamic banks, and assess their effectiveness and constraints. Results: The findings reveal that wa’d-based forward is the most frequently utilized instrument, offering Sharia-compliant mitigation of exchange rate risk. However, limited market liquidity, regulatory ambiguity, and low technical capacity hinder optimal implementation. Novelty: This study provides the first consolidated evaluation of Islamic hedging in Indonesia using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, identifying thematic research trends, barriers, and regulatory gaps. Implications: The results suggest the need for policy reform, international collaboration, and product innovation to strengthen Indonesia’s Sharia-compliant financial risk management ecosystem.
Highlight :




  • Islamic hedging tools like wa’d-based forward and CCS reduce currency risk while complying with Sharia law.




  • Implementation in Indonesia faces challenges such as low market liquidity and limited regulatory support.




  • Compared to Malaysia, Indonesia needs stronger innovation and collaboration to advance its Islamic hedging practices.
