Aims and Scope

The International Center for Research in Islamic Economics (ICRIE) is dedicated to providing a dynamic scholarly platform for researchers, academics, practitioners, and policy analysts to disseminate innovative and value-enhancing research. Through its academic initiatives, ICRIE promotes rigorous inquiry and intellectual engagement in Islamic economics and governance.

The International Journal of Islamic Economics and Governance (IJIEG) serves as the flagship scholarly publication of ICRIE. The journal publishes high-quality empirical and theoretical research that advances knowledge in Islamic economics, Islamic monetary economics, Islamic social finance, and Islamic banking and finance. Both quantitative and qualitative studies are welcomed, provided they demonstrate methodological rigor, originality, and meaningful scholarly contribution.

IJIEG is published bi-annually. Manuscripts are considered on the understanding that they represent original work and are not under consideration elsewhere.

The journal welcomes submissions in, but not limited to, the following broad areas:

  1. Islamic Economic Theory and Policy, including Islamic economics, Islamic monetary and macroeconomic models, labor and welfare economics, and Islamic political economy.

  2. Islamic Banking and Financial Systems, covering Islamic banking and finance, capital markets, takaful, investment strategies, housing finance, risk management, corporate finance, and comparative analysis of Islamic and conventional financial institutions.

  3. Islamic Governance, Law, and Ethics, including Islamic commercial law, business ethics, corporate governance, and Shariah-compliant management practices.

  4. Islamic Social Finance and Development, encompassing zakat, waqf and awqaf institutions, charitable systems, and socio-economic development frameworks.

  5. Innovation and Digital Transformation in Islamic Finance, including fintech, blockchain, and emerging Islamic financial models.

The journal particularly encourages interdisciplinary research that bridges theory and practice, contributes to policy debates, and strengthens the global discourse on Islamic economic and financial systems.
