This study evaluates the investment feasibility of UD Al-Mustofa, a tobacco business in Kendal, by considering aspects of production, storage capacity, waste management, and market expansion opportunities. UD Al-Mustofa is strategically located, ensuring high mobility, optimal production scale, and an effective waste management system, which includes recycling solid waste into organic fertilizer, processing liquid waste, and mitigating gas emissions by conducting tobacco drying in areas far from residential zones. Although the business has not yet obtained certification for international markets, financial analysis indicates that investment in this venture is viable. The calculations show a payback period of 2.01 years, significantly shorter than the projected 10-year investment lifespan. The Net Present Value (NPV) reaches IDR 489,345,567, indicating positive returns, with a profitability index of 0.854. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 46% significantly exceeds Bank Indonesia’s interest rate of 5.75% in 2024, while the Average Rate of Return (ARR) of 78.8% is higher than the cost of capital. Based on these findings, UD Al-Mustofa has strong potential for further development, both in terms of production and market expansion..

Stock returns are one of the indicators in investor investment decision making. Factors that influence stock returns are internal (fundamental) factors, namely ROA, DPR and EPS. The purpose of this study was to determine: the effect of Return On Asset (ROA) on Stock Returns, the effect of Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) on Stock Returns, and the effect of Earnings Per Share (EPS) on Stock Returns in Industrial Sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. Findings: Return On Asset (ROA) has a positive and significant effect on Stock Returns, Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) does not affect Stock Returns, and Earnings Per Share (EPS) does not affect Stock Returns. The implication of this study for investors is that they can use ROA as the main indicator in analyzing potential opportunities to gain profit from capital gains from stock returns before making investment decisions. The implication for management is to focus on strategies to optimize the use of assets to generate greater profits. Meanwhile, the implications for regulators and policy makers are to encourage transparency in financial reports and the preparation of capital market literacy programs.  

Financial literacy is an individual's ability to understand, analyze, and use financial information to make effective decisions. In the context of Islamic finance in Indonesia, low financial literacy is a major challenge in increasing financial inclusion. Islamic mutual funds, as one of the sharia-based investment instruments, offer an opportunity to bridge the gap between financial literacy and inclusion. Islamic mutual funds have the advantages of transparent sharia principles, wider accessibility, and diversified risks. This study aims to explore the role of Islamic mutual funds in increasing public financial literacy while encouraging Islamic financial inclusion. The methodology used includes secondary data analysis, surveys, and interviews with stakeholders, such as financial industry players, regulators, and the community. The results of the study show that education about Islamic mutual funds can consistently increase public understanding of Islamic financial products. In addition, Islamic mutual funds also have the potential to expand public access to Islamic financial services, especially among the younger generation and underserved groups. Integration of financial literacy programs based on sharia mutual funds with the support of regulations and digital technology can be a strategic step to strengthen the sharia financial ecosystem in Indonesia, thereby supporting more inclusive and sustainable financial inclusion.

This research analyzes the factors that influence managerial ownership, investment opportunity set (IOS), and financial distress on company value. Company value is a performance indicator that reflects public trust and the company has high growth potential in the future. This research utilizes secondary data which is analyzed quantitatively obtained from journals, articles and other related sources. The results of the study show that managerial ownership, IOS, and financial difficulties have various relationships on firm value. Managerial ownership can have positive, negative, or no influence depending on the managerial context. IOS has the potential to increase company value through the right investment opportunities, but can also have a negative impact if investments are made without good planning. Financial distress, on the other hand, can reduce company value if poor financial conditions are not handled with the right strategy. This research reveals in depth the importance of managing these factors to increase company value, while also showing the need for further research to identify relevant moderating factors.

The results show that PT Aneka Tambang excels in liquidity stability, PT Baramulti Suksessarana has high efficiency in asset utilization, and PT Adaro Energy offers great growth potential with significant fluctuations in profitability. This research provides strategic insights for investors in selecting mining companies according to risk profiles and investment objectives, as well as a reference for academics in understanding the dynamics of the financial performance of the mining sector

This article discusses alternative Islamic finance as a solution without usury in the contemporary era. The background to this research focuses on the negative impact of usury practices in the conventional financial system and increasing public awareness of the importance of ethical transactions. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of sharia financial products on people's financial welfare and to evaluate the level of understanding and adoption of sharia financial products in society. This research uses quantitative methods with descriptive and inferential statistical approaches, which include surveys of various community groups who use sharia financial products. The research results show that Islamic financial products such as murabahah, musyarakah, and mudarabah not only encourage more ethical investments, but also increase local economic growth and support sustainable development. However, the main challenge faced is the public's low understanding of sharia principles, which hinders optimizing the potential of this sector. Financial technology (fintech) and collaboration between sharia financial institutions and the government are identified as important factors in expanding access and increasing financial inclusion. In conclusion, despite challenges such as a lack of understanding and the need for better regulation, Islamic finance has great potential to become a key pillar in a fairer and more sustainable global financial system. This research provides recommendations that more efforts should be made to improve education, transparency and collaboration to strengthen the Islamic finance sector in the future.

One of the most important instruments in economics is the sharia market which offers alternative investment options in accordance with Islamic sharia principles. The purpose of this study is to explain the concept of the Indonesian sharia market, the mechanisms involved, and the potential and challenges faced during its development. The method used in this study is a literature study using qualitative descriptive analysis, namely analyzing various factors, laws, and current developments related to the sharia market. The findings of this study indicate that the Indonesian sharia market has experienced significant growth due to stricter regulations from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). However, there are still several problems in this market, such as the lack of public understanding of sharia principles and gaps in available sharia products. Nevertheless, the Indonesian sharia capital market has a lot of potential, including the ability to increase public awareness of sharia investment and the various investment products available.

The financial technology (fintech) industry in Indonesia has grown rapidly in recent years, having a significant impact on financial inclusion in the country. Fintech provides easier and faster access to financial services, especially for segments of society previously marginalized by the traditional banking system. Fintech services such as digital payments, online loans, and technology-based investments have expanded financial reach to communities in remote areas, MSMEs, and individuals with limited access to conventional banking services. However, with the rapid growth of fintech, challenges arise related to regulation and consumer protection. Inadequate regulation can lead to security risks, legal uncertainty, and potential abuse in digital financial services. Therefore, the Indonesian government has implemented various policies to regulate and supervise the fintech industry, such as the establishment of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) as the main supervisors. This study aims to analyze the impact of fintech developments on financial inclusion in Indonesia and evaluate the effectiveness of existing regulations in protecting consumers and encouraging the growth of the fintech sector. The results of this research show that although fintech has the potential to significantly increase financial inclusion, more comprehensive regulations and strict law enforcement are needed to ensure that the benefits of fintech can be felt evenly and safely by all levels of society.

The application of sharia accounting in business is becoming increasingly relevant along with the growth of the global sharia economy. Sharia accounting, which is based on the principles of fairness, transparency and fair sharing of risks, offers a unique approach to financial management. This research uses a qualitative method based on literature review to explore the challenges, prospects and solutions for implementing sharia accounting in modern business. The research results show that the main challenges include limited competent human resources, sharia accounting standards that are not yet uniform, digitalization which requires technological adaptation, and a lack of social and cultural acceptance. On the other hand, the prospect of sharia accounting has great potential in increasing stakeholder trust, expanding access to sharia markets, and strengthening the company's ethical image. To overcome these challenges, solutions are needed such as the development of comprehensive sharia accounting standards, increasing human resource competence, investment in supporting technology, transformation of conventional paradigms, and multilateral cooperation between government, academics and the business sector. This research provides strategic insight into how sharia accounting can be applied effectively to support ethical and sustainable business growth.

This research explores the impact of financial technology (fintech) on the development of Islamic investment in the digital era. The study aims to analyze how fintech influences the accessibility and growth of Islamic investment products. Using a systematic literature review, this research examines various academic sources published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on countries with significant Islamic fintech developments such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Middle East. The findings indicate that fintech has enhanced public acceptance and participation in Islamic investment by offering more accessible and diverse financial products. However, regulatory challenges hinder the full potential of fintech in the Islamic finance sector. The research suggests that innovation in financial products and supportive regulations are key to fostering the growth of Islamic fintech. Additionally, further empirical research is recommended to explore the regulatory impacts and sustainability of Islamic fintech development across different regions.

OJK (Financial Services Authority) is also active in regulating this sector.

This study aims to analyze cryptocurrency investment models in relation to the prevention of money laundering (Anti-Money Laundering/AML) activities. Cryptocurrency, as a growing form of digital investment, has garnered attention from regulators due to its potential money laundering risks. This paper explores preventive strategies that can be implemented within cryptocurrency investment systems, including the use of blockchain technology, KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, and international regulations such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. Through a qualitative method based on literature review and policy analysis, the study identifies investment models that can minimize money laundering risks while maintaining profitability for investors. These findings provide insights into the challenges and solutions in developing a safer cryptocurrency investment system that complies with AML regulations.

This study examines the interaction between conservative financial reporting and managerial incentives in decision-making, using a qualitative approach through a literature review. Conservative financial reporting plays a crucial role in enhancing the transparency and accuracy of information utilized by managers in the decision-making process. On the other hand, optimally designed managerial incentives can encourage managers to value and utilize the accounting information presented conservatively. The findings indicate that accounting conservatism can reduce the risk of inappropriate decision-making, although it may also pose potential risks of avoidance towards necessary investments for company growth. This research provides insights into the importance of balancing the implementation of conservative financial reporting and managerial incentives, as well as its implications for corporate performance. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for company management in designing more effective incentive systems and reporting.

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a significant financial risk factor, particularly in developing countries where financial systems are often less resilient to environmental shocks. This study explores the relationship between climate-related financial risks, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and economic stability in developing nations. It highlights how both physical risks, such as extreme weather events (e.g., floods and droughts), and transition risks, including regulatory changes and shifts toward a low-carbon economy, deter FDI and contribute to economic volatility. The findings show that developing countries, which are more vulnerable to these risks, experience reduced FDI inflows due to the increased costs of adaptation and the potential for operational disruptions. Additionally, the study finds that countries with weaker financial institutions and governance structures are more susceptible to the economic instability induced by climate risks. The analysis suggests that climate risk mitigation strategies, such as strengthening financial sectors, improving governance, and implementing effective climate policies, can help reduce these risks and create a more stable investment environment. The research also identifies gaps in the literature, particularly the combined effect of climate risks and financial instability on FDI, which warrants further exploration. The study calls for more comprehensive research, particularly focusing on regional case studies and sector-specific impacts, to guide policymakers in fostering a climate-resilient economic environment that attracts sustainable foreign investment.

This study explores the effect of Islamic microfinance on empowering rural communities through environmentally sustainable business practices. Rural areas often face significant financial exclusion, with limited access to ethical financial services, particularly for eco-friendly enterprises. Islamic microfinance, grounded in Sharia principles such as risk-sharing, ethical investment, and the prohibition of interest (riba), offers an alternative financing model that can potentially foster both economic and environmental sustainability. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of Islamic microfinance on rural communities, focusing on income growth, the adoption of environmentally sustainable business practices, and social empowerment. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines field surveys and interviews with beneficiaries of Islamic microfinance institutions (IMFIs) in rural areas. Data collection tools included questionnaires, focus group discussions, and institutional reports. Key findings reveal that participants in Islamic microfinance programs experienced significant income growth, an increase in environmentally friendly entrepreneurship (e.g., organic farming and recycling businesses), and enhanced community participation and self-reliance. The discussion highlights how Sharia principles encourage ethical investment and sustainable practices, contributing to a triple-bottom-line impact—economic, social, and environmental. However, challenges such as limited awareness, lack of green finance literacy, and regulatory constraints were identified. A comparison between Islamic and conventional microfinance outcomes showed that Islamic microfinance offers a distinct advantage by integrating moral, social, and ecological responsibilities. The study concludes that Islamic microfinance can serve as a transformative tool for rural development, offering solutions to both economic and environmental challenges. The research underscores the need for supportive policy frameworks and further investigation into the long-term impacts of green Islamic finance.

This study explores the role of Sharia-compliant crowdfunding platforms as ethical financial innovations in supporting green startups, particularly in emerging economies. Green startups, which are inherently mission-driven and environmentally conscious, often face challenges in accessing traditional funding due to the long-term nature of their returns and perceived investment risks. Conventional financing mechanisms are frequently profit-oriented and risk-averse, making them unsuitable for ventures that prioritize sustainability and community impact. In contrast, Sharia-compliant crowdfunding platforms offer alternative financing pathways that are grounded in Islamic ethical principles, such as profit-and-loss sharing and the prohibition of interest and speculation. The research uses a qualitative-comparative case study approach, drawing from secondary data and interviews with platform operators and green startup founders. Thematic and comparative analyses reveal that Sharia crowdfunding platforms not only attract ethically motivated investors but also foster trust, transparency, and alignment with the values of environmentally conscious communities. These platforms provide higher levels of ethical accountability, although they are currently limited by low public literacy and a lack of regulatory frameworks in many regions. The study concludes that Sharia-compliant crowdfunding platforms have significant potential to bridge the financing gap for green startups. Their success depends on collaborative support from government, financial institutions, and academia, along with increased efforts in education and regulatory development. By integrating religious ethics and sustainable finance, these platforms can help create inclusive, transparent, and socially responsible funding ecosystems that contribute meaningfully to green economic growth.

Investing in the Shariah capital market is not only a potential business choice but also an embodiment of the recommended practice of muamalah in Islam, where wealth is used productively to bring benefits to oneself and others.

Additionally, Shariah investment gallery activities also have a significant influence on students' investment interest, with a significance value of 0.012. These activities provide students with a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and principles of the Shariah capital market, thereby increasing their interest in investing. Managing pocket money is also a significant factor in determining students' investment interest, with a significance value of 0.003. Wise management of pocket money allows some students to use part of those funds for investment, subsequently increasing their interest in the Shariah capital market. Simultaneously, the research results show that financial literacy, Shariah investment gallery activities, and pocket money management have a significant influence on students' investment interest, with a significance value for the F-test of 0.000.    

This journal analyzes stocks as investment securities. In the modern era, stocks have become a popular investment choice due to their high potential returns and ease of access through digital platforms. However, stock investments also carry significant risks, such as sharp price fluctuations. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the advantages of stocks compared to other investment instruments, factors influencing public interest in stock investments, and the development of stock investments in Indonesia after the enactment of Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation. The research method used is normative and juridical approaches, by examining legislation and related literature. The expected outcome of this study is to enhance financial literacy among the public and assist in making smarter and wiser investment decisions.

This research aims to examine the impact of financial performance on stock return investment decisions of private investors using financial ratio analysis on LQ45 companies. The analysis focuses on the influence of Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) ratios on stock return.The analysis results indicate that ROA has a positive impact on stock return, as excellent ROA performance reflects management's ability to manage assets to achieve profitability, which can attract investor interest in buying company shares and lead to increased stock return. However, ROE and NPM do not have a positive impact on stock return. Investors tend to consider other financial factors, so even with high ROE and NPM, if other financial indicators show negative performance, company shares may still be perceived poorly by investors.The implications of this research highlight the importance for companies to focus on financial performance, especially ROA, in investment decision-making. Additionally, investors are advised to consider all financial aspects holistically when evaluating the investment potential of stocks.
