1. INTRODUCTION

Born from the awakening of political Islam with the intellectual and political
campaign of economic Islamization in Muslim countries in the 20th century,
Islamic Banking and finance is experiencing real development with financial
globalization in view of its contribution to the world economy. Over the past
few decades Islamic finance has received increasing attention, not only within
Muslim economies, but all around the world, as illustrated by the involvement of
numerous non-Muslim public and private institutions. In 3Q 2015, total global
Islamic assets under management (AuM) stood at USD 60.2 billion. The sector is
conservatively projected to grow by 5.05% per annum for the next five years to
reach USD77 billion in value by 2019. This is substantiated by a number of
facts, such as the average growth rate of Islamic funds at 9.55% per annum over
the past five years. And the most important factor enabling the industry to
reach today’s figures was the economic crisis in 2008 while conventional banks
suffered a loss of profitability, Islamic banks maintained their growth and
profitability and during that period, contrary to Islamic banks, the
conventional banks have benefited from the financial assistance of the
Government to avoid bankruptcy. The fastest growing Islamic financial
institution is the banking sector (Total Assets: banking sector 79%, sukuk 4.3%,
interest-free investment funds 2.9%, interest-free stocks 2.9%, interest-free
insurance “tekaful” 0.7%) which has a growth at a compound annual growth rate
CAGR of 17% in the last 5 years to reach USD$ 778 billion (IDB reports). Turkey
since 1983 is among the countries which have included Islamic banking to their
banking sector under the name of Special Financial Institutions/Houses SFIs
(özel Finans Kurumlar) which became Participation Banks PBs (Katılım Bankalar)
by 2005; prior to 2005 SFIs couldn’t show any development in term of asset size
and product variety due to the lack of necessary legislations. The legislation
of 2005 paved the way for a real growth of the sector and start competing with
its counterpart (Conventional Banks: CBs). In 2013 PBs represent 5.13% of the
whole banking sector, their share in total deposits 6.15 % and their share in
total credits to 6.03%, 4% share of countries in Islamic banking asset4, and
actually with 47 banks that represent the whole banking sector 5 are PBs with a
total asset of 136.476M TL, and the Participation Banks Association of Turkey
working to raise the market share of participation banking sector to 15% by
20255.

1.1. UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF CBS AND PBS

Conventional banks (CBs) are financial institutions that provide services, such
as accepting deposits, giving business loans, mortgage lending, and basic
investment products like savings accounts and certificates of deposit. The
traditional commercial bank is a brick and mortar institution with tellers, safe
deposit boxes, and vaults. However, some commercial banks do not have any
physical branches and require consumers to complete all transactions by phone or
Internet. In exchange, they generally pay higher interest rates on investments
and deposits, and charge lower fees6. However, PBs are the institutions that
operate in the financial sector, finance the reel economy and provide banking
services. Participation banks put the funds that they collect from savers to
good use in projects within the scope of the principles of interest-free finance
(making funds available for consumers and enterprises) and share with savers
profit or loss generated7 by the operations.One key difference is that CBs earn
their money by charging interest and fees for services, whereas Islamic banks
earn their money by profit and loss sharing, trading, leasing, charging fees for
services rendered, and using other sharia contracts of exchange. Moreover, most
participation Banks have a compliance committee, commonly known as the Sharia
Board, which independently establishes the conditions for the validity of
transactions according to Sharia rules and principles.CBs and PBs as well as
development and investment banks are active in the Turkish banking system. The
following table shows the banking sector’s total personnel, branches, assets,
credit.

Table 1. Turkish Banking Sector Status (December 2015)

In December 2015 the Turkish banking system operates with 50 banks, 12185
branches and 216722 employees. 32 CBs with 194838 employees however there are 5
PBs 1076 branches and 16518 employees.8 The asset size of the Turkish banking
system reached TL 2,357,430 Million, total deposits: TL 1,245,427 Million, and
total loans: TL 1,484.959 Million TL. CBs with 90.4% share in asset size, 94% in
deposit size, and 90.2% in loan size while PBs 5.1% in asset size, 6% in deposit
size and 4.9% in credit size.

2. ASSETS

Table 2. Assets Evolution

Graph 1. Assets Evolution

The growth of asset size of conventional and participation banks over 10 years
is shown in Table 2 and the graph1. PBs achieved faster growth than the CBs in
the past years but couldn’t catch up after 2014. While the CBs reached TL
2.130.601 Million asset sizes in 2015, the PBks reached 120.183 Million TL.

3. DEPOSIT

Table 3. Deposit evolution

Graph 2. Deposit evolution

The growth of deposits in Conventional and participation banks from 2005 to 2015
is shown in Table 3 and Graph 2. It is seen that the PBs achieved a faster
growth than the CBs in the past years but couldn’t catch up with the growth
after 2014. While the deposit banks reached 1.171.251 Million TL in deposit in
2015, the participation banks reached 74.176 Million TL.

4. CREDIT

Table 4. Credit evolution

Graph 3. Credit evolution

The growth of credit size of conventional and participation banks for 10 years
is shown in Table 4 and Graph 3, and it is seen that CBs and PBs in the past
years have some up and down in the size of credits allowed. In 2015, while the
CBs reached size of 1.339.149 Million TL, the PBs reached 72.038 Million TL.

5. EQUITY

Table 5. Equity Evolution

Graph 4. Equity evolution

The evolution of equities size of Conventional and participation banks from 2005
to 2015 is shown in Table 5 and Graph 4. PBs equities have been higher than the
CBs equities until 2008, they couldn’t catch up with the increase trend after
2008. While the CBs reached 228,144 Million TL in equity size in 2015, PBs have
reached 10.645 Million TL.

6. PROFIT AND LOST

Table 6. Profit and lost evolution

Graph 5. Profit and lost evolution

The growth in the profit and loss of conventional and participation banks from
2005 - 2015 is shown in Table 6 and Graph5. It is seen that CBs had higher
growth than PBs in the past years. In 2014 there was a very significant loss of
PBs. While the CBs reached a profit size of 23.889 Million TL in 2015, the
participation banks have reached 409 Million TL.

7. RATIOS

7.1. CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO

Table 7. Capital Adequacy Ratio

Graph 6. Capital Adequacy Ratio

The capital adequacy evolution of conventional and participation banks from 2005
to 2015 is shown in Table 7 and Graph 6. It is seen that CBs have been above PBs
until 2015 where they became quite equal.

7.2. EQUITY / TOTAL ASSETS

Table 8. Equity / Total Assets

Graph 7. Equity / Total Assets

The capital adequacy Equity / Total Assets evolution of Conventional and
participation banks, from 2005 to 2015 is shown in Table 8 and Graph7. And
although the rates of PBs are above the rate of CBs until 2010, after 2011 PBs
rates are below the rates of CBs. This shows that PBs have become riskier than
the CBs.

7.3. LIQUIDITY

Table 9. Liquidity Adequency Ratio

Graph 8. Liquidity Adequency Ratio

The liquidity status of conventional and participation banks from 2007 up to
2015 is shown in Table 9 and Graph8, and the ratio CBs has been below the ratio
of PBs.

7.4. LIQUID ASSETS / TOTAL ASSETS RATIO

Table 10. Liquid Assets / Total Assets ratio

Graph 9. Liquid Assets / Total Assets ratio

The ratio of Liquid Assets / Total Assets of Conventional and participation
banks from 2005 to 2015 is shown in Table 10 and Graph 9. Although the CBs have
been on a decreasing trend since 2005, they have been more liquid than PBs but
by 2014, they appear to be less liquid than the participation banks and the
increase in the liquidity is due to the influence of sukuk

7.5. FEE, COMMISSION AND BANK, SERVICES INCOME / TOTAL INCOME RATE

Table 11. Fee, Commission and Bank, Services Income / Total Income Rate

Graph 10. Fee, Commission and Bank, Services Income / Total Income Rate

The income, fees and commission / total income growth of conventional and
participation banks, from 2005 to 2015 shown in Table 11 and Graph 10. The rate
in PBs is higher than CBs.It is very important for the bankers to increase the
non-interest income and reduce the operational expenses in the environment where
the inflation rate falls. For this reason, it is important for the banks to
reduce the operating expenses as well as to increase the non-interest income.

7.6. NET PROFIT / LOSS OF THE PERIOD / AVERAGE TOTAL ASSETS

Table 12. Net Profit / Loss of the Period / Average Total Assets

Graph 11. Net Profit / Loss of the Period / Average Total Assets

The profitability ratio of deposits and participation banks, from 2005 to 2015
is shown in Table 12 and Graph 11 and it is observed that the interest rates in
the PBs are in a constant downward trend and especially in 2014, while CBs have
been experiencing some up and downs.

8. INTEREST RATE / DIVIDEND

Conventional banks interests.Participation banks dividends

Source: TKBB, General Report Presentation

PBs have been giving dividends that are not identical to the interest rates
provided by CBs, but the look close to each other. PBs operating funds in Turkey
are composed as followed: around 70% - 80% for production support (murabaha), 5%
- 10% available for profit-loss basis (mudaraba and musharaka). And because of
the volume of loans in the market, which is about 95%. if clients in PBs have to
earn dividends that are very less than the interest paid in conventional banks
client will definitely prefer the conventional banks, as a result PBs won’t be
able to receive deposits which means they couldn’t perform and to avoid funds
remaining idle and fall in losses; PBs have to manage to keep their dividends
closed to conventional banks interest9.

9. CONCLUSIONS

The instability and other problem that have been affecting the country have also
adversely affected the banking secteur in terms of assets, deposits, loans and
profits. Although PBs have diversified fund resources through sukuk issuances in
recent years, reducing both the cost of resources and the prolongation of the
maturity, making liquidity conditions more liquid than CBs liquidity ratios,
their capital adequacy ratios are lower than CBs and they are seen to be riskier
than CBs.From the preceding financial indicators, it is clear that Conventional
Banks with the highest rate of financial assets (90.6%) perform more than
Participation banks PBs, but it is very important to notify that, the fastest
growing sector in the whole banking sector is PBs, and therefore the sector need
a support from the government, the Central Bank, private sector and other
financial institutions to realize a real integration which can boost and improve
the sector’s financial performances and make Turkey a hub of Islamic
Banking.Notes 1. Imanou AKALA: International 2nd year Masters student in
