Abstract

This study investigates whether oil price uncertainty has different effects on the default risk of Islamic and conventional banks in major oil-exporting countries. Using a dataset of 61 banks from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, we examine the impact of the Oil Price Uncertainty Index (OPUI), a new forward-looking text-based uncertainty measure created by Abiad and Qureshi (2023). The results suggest that conventional banks are more vulnerable to higher oil price uncertainty, while this relationship does not exist for banks that adhere to Islamic finance principles. This provides an opportunity for investors to hedge against the region's systemic risk.
