Pijar Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (PJIEF)

Focus And Scope

The Pijar Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (PJIEF) cordially invites scholars, researchers, and industry practitioners to submit high-quality, original manuscripts that have not been previously published nor are under consideration elsewhere. The primary focus of the journal is the robust development of theory, practice, and policy within the realm of Islamic economics. We aim to serve as a rigorous intellectual platform that bridges theoretical frameworks with empirical realities. The journal particularly values contributions that offer fresh perspectives on contemporary economic challenges, proposing innovative solutions grounded in Sharia principles while addressing the practical needs of the global financial industry and public policy formulation.
