A Bibliometric Analysis of Risk Management Practices in the Islamic Banking Sector (2009–2024): Exploring Current and Future Trends

Through a bibliometric analysis, this study looks at the productivity and research trends in risk management practices within the Islamic banking system between 2009 and 2024. To find significant works, authors, and thematic trends in the field, 32 articles were examined using the Scopus database. Citation patterns, co-authorship networks, co-citation clusters, and keyword trends were examined using bibliometric tools like VOS Viewer. The results show that quantitative research methods receive a lot of attention, whereas qualitative approaches and newly emerging Islamic banking jurisdictions receive less. Frameworks for risk identification, measurement, and mitigation, as well as their use in full-fledged Islamic banks and Islamic window operations, were among the major themes discovered. The analysis emphasises the need for additional research to examine qualitative viewpoints, regional diversity, and how well-suited present practices are to address operational and financial risks. This study fills in these gaps, laying the groundwork for the creation of a cohesive, flexible framework that would improve risk management practices and the general stability of the Islamic banking sector.
