Fadia Utami, Purbayu Budi Santosa

Abstract

The poverty factors are multidimensional. Even though ASEAN countries are top global Islamic economics countries, Sharia instruments have not been well-utilized to resolve it. Therefore, this research aims to combine the Sharia and conventional socio-economics instruments by examining relationships between the Islamic Human Development Index (I-HDI), Islamic social finance, and six governance indicators on poverty. The 540-panel data from 2007 to 2021 was taken by purposive sampling method and tested by the Fixed Effect Model. This research showed that I-HDI, Islamic philanthropy, voice accountability, and control corruption significantly influence reducing poverty. This study implies the government in ASEAN to use I-HDI as a human development benchmark, maximize Islamic philanthropy for productivity, increase public participation, and control corruption to eradicate poverty.
