examine the procyclicality behavior of Islamic banking financing on the business
cycle.

due to the pandemic. The financing restructuring variable has a positive and
significant effect on the distribution of total bank financing. This shows that the
stimulus regulation does not prevent banks from continuing to channel financing to

given that the economy will continue to fluctuate. Then, regulations related to
internal sharia banking must be paid more attention to by regulators.

Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia in the period before and after the economic
recession.
