Abstract
This study aims to assess the impact of interest rate
change on stocks returns and volatility of Islamic and Conventional
stock market indices during global financial crisis for the period from
04 January, 2005 to 30 December, 2015.The stock indices of China
(SSE), India (BSE) and Pakistan (PSE) as conventional, and Malaysia
(DJIM), Indonesia (JKII) and Dow Jones World Islamic Index (DJWI)
(Benchmark) as Islamic markets are employed into consideration,
respectively. The volatility and conditional correlation are examined
through GARCH (1, 1) and Multivariate-DCC GARCH, respectively.
The results indicate that Islamic stock indices had low interest rate
exposure and less stocks volatility than that of conventional stock
indices during the global financial crisis period. This research has
important implication for investors that they may consider Islamic
stock markets as a safe haven during financial crises.
