Macroeconomic policy (fiscal and monetary) dynamics are interesting to analyze, especially considering corporate performance. This paper aims to determine the effect of macroeconomic policy on the company’s profit rate. Effectiveness of tax revenue (ETAX), realization of tax revenue (RTAX), Bank of Indonesian rate (BIRT), investment growth (INVG), realization of investments (RINV), infrastructure fund allocation rate (INFR), and realization of infrastructure funds (RINF) are macroeconomic policy variables. This study uses a sample of 256 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2005–2019. This paper employs such methods as GMM, using Wald-test and Sargan’s test. GMM estimator result shows that the instrument of infrastructure fund realization policy (RINF), investment growth (INVG), and investment realization (RINV) affect the company’s profit rate (PROF). Therefore, companies need to pay attention to the government development plans, investment growth, and investment realization, which can improve company performance. The result, government’s development for the 2005–2009 and 2015–2019 periods shows a significant difference in companies’ ability to generate profits.

Sharia fintech lending grew up at the teenage stage and has successfully taken a strategic place in the Indonesian loan market. Adopting the economics of information and signaling theory, this paper investigates the probability of successful crowdfunding. Using cross-section data, this study analyzes 1,153 funded projects on Ammana.id platform, a well-known Indonesia’s sharia P2P lending. This study runs OLS regressions to examine the effect of loan information (ranking, estimated profit shares, and financing duration) on the amount of crowded funding. This finding support both theories, that the information about the loan is a signal in determining the success of project funding. Ranking and duration of financing significantly affect the success of the P2P sharia lending platform, nevertheless profit share estimation is not significant. Loans that operated in short, tend to raise more funding, and vice versa. Loan ranking can provide the lender with instant information about the borrowers’ condition. Lenders tend to avoid low rankings loans due to the potential failure of loan payments. This study also found a surprising result that the coefficient of profit sharing is positive for Islamic funding but insignificant. This result shows that material gain is not the main issue for investors, but the elements of trust and justice are nobler according to Islamic beliefs. This study proves that loan information as a low-cost signal can be used by investors to make the best decision and reduce adverse selection problems. The findings support the strategic growth of Islamic platforms to build a sustainable Islamic investment and maintain financial stability.
