"AbstractEconomic and political systems might have a great share in determining the speed of the economic growth in an economy. Majority of the researchs in the past relied on physical input accumulation in determining economic growth, without taking into account the contribution of institutional characteristics. This research is aimed to test the hypothesis that economic freedom and political system affect the economic growth. Using panel data method (pooled least square approach) in eight ASEAN countries during the period of 1997-2007 and based on a framework of Solow economic growth model, it is showed that the more free and efficient economy leads to faster economic growth, and political democracy can otherwise hinder economic growth. Economy can grow higher if public policies are directed to the creation of: a stable monetary conditions, a more efficient in intermediation of financial markets, appropriate public budget policy, straightforward and efficient regulations, corruption eradication, as well as lower taxes. Nevertheless the index of investment freedom and property rights are far away from the behaviors of existing theories and hypothesis, so further research is needed."

"This study shows that an increase in economic funding that comes from saving fund in the banking sector doesn?t have a full impact on the slower economic growth in the subsequent period as Keynesian believes. Tests result show that a decrease in public saving in banking sector reflects an increase in the confidence of the economic agents on the future economic prospects which then drives the economic growth. This result is supported by the negative and significant relationship of economic growth and public saving in the form of individual rupiah denominated deposit (time deposits?). Using Permanent Income Hypothesis argument the result indicates that we can use individual deposit as one of the leading indicators of future economic growth based on signficant finding until 2 trimester in the future. On the other hand positive and significant relationship of economic growth and public saving which is proposed by the Keynesian only applied to rupiah denominated individual and firm demand deposit and individual saving account."

"Kehadiran Islamic Bank of Britain (IBB) di tahun 2004 merupakan tonggak penting dalam studi ekonomi dan keuangan Islam. Kehadiran IBB bisa diartikan sebagai ?ekspansi‟ pertama sistem ekonomi dan keuangan Islam di luar Timur Tengah dan negara-negara Islam. IBB adalah bank ritel pertama berbasis syariah yang mendapatkan otorisasi dari Financial Services Authority (FSA). Sejak didirikannya IBB, kondisi ekonomi dan keuangan Islam di Inggris semakin berkembang pesat. Bahkan, Inggris adalah negara Barat (non-muslim) pertama yang berhasil menembus peringkat sepuluh besar negara-negara dengan aset keuangan Islam terbesar di dunia. Posisi ini kemudian menjadi semakin menarik karena langkah Inggris dalam menerapkan sistem ekonomi dan keuangan Islam ini berimbas pada perputaran dana Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) dan Petrodolar dari kawasan Teluk (GCC) yang notabene negara-negara Islam eksportir minyak yang kaya raya. Perbankan syariah, sebagai unit keuangan Islam, juga diyakini lebih kokoh akan gangguan krisis finansial yang sering kali meneror kondisi finansial negara-negara Barat sepeti Inggris. Dewasa ini, banyak ekonom yang mempertimbangkan sistem ekonomi dan keuangan Islam sebagai sistem alternatif dari sistem ekonomi dan keuangan konvensional atau kapitalisme yang cenderung destruktif.

IBB is the first retail sharia-compliant bank which authorized by the British Financial Services Authority (FSA). Since then, the growth of Islamic economics and Islamic finance in the United Kingdom (UK) has been remarkable. Moreover, UK is the first western state which posited in the top 10 list country with a huge number of Islamic economics and Islamic finance asset and volume. This position give an interesting point in implementing Islamic economics and Islamic finance which affected by petrodollar recycling and sovereign wealth fund from the Gulf (Islamic and oil-exporting country). Islamic banks, as the unit of Islamic finance, are believed to be more resilient in times of financial crisis. Many economists considered Islamic economics and Islamic finance system as the alternative system to the world economy (conventional) or capitalism, which is destructive."
