Te Ng- Perron (2001) wa applied to tet te integration level, wile te bound F-tatitic tet wa ued to examine te co-integration relationip among te variable. Te autoregreive ditributed lag (ARDL) approac wa employed to examine long-run and ort-run relationip between te variable. Te reult indicate tat all variable are tationary at firt difference and all variable are co-integrated. Furter, te reult of te ARDL indicate tat tere i a poitive relationip between macroeconomic variable and MPO in long-run and ort-run. Keyword: murabaa to te purcae-order, Jordanian Ilamic bank, macroeconomic variable, ARDL approac, Jordan 1. Introduction An expanive body of literature a attempted to explore te relationip between tock market and te macroeconomic variable for bot developed and developing countrie (AL-Sarka, 2004; Beket & Mugable, 2012; Ratanapakorn & Sarma, 2007; Haing & Hie, 2012). Mot empirical evidence a demontrated tat tere i a trong and poitive nexu between economic growt and indicator of financial development (King & Levine, 1993a, 1993b; Levine, 1997; Rajan & Zingale, 1998). Furtermore, tere ave been numerou tudie tat attempted to invetigate te linkage between banking ytem and te macroeconomic variable (Deidda & Fattou, 2002), but tere are only a andful of reearce tat focu on te impact of macroeconomic variable on te Ilamic bank a a ingle entity. Terefore, to analye te effect of ome macroeconomic variable on te Ilamic bank, ti tudy trie to explore te relationip between Murabaa to te Purcae Order (MPO) a proxy of Jordan Ilamic Bank (JIB), wic i, repreent 53% of te JIB operation (Abdul-Kaliq, 2014) and macroeconomic variable repreented by Gro Dometic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Invetment (FDI) and Money Supply (M2) for te period 1978 to 2012 by employing one of te contemporaneou time erie analyi tecnique wic i te Autoregreive Ditributed Lag (ARDL) approac developed by Pearan et al. (2001). Te main goal of ti tudy i to acertain if te macroeconomic variable ave effect on te Ilamic banking a in te tock market or not. Nonetele, te literature owed tat te tock market ave been affected by te macroeconomic variable, for intance, GDP a poitive relationip wit te tock market (Haing & Hie, 2012) imilar to FDI tat alo a poitive linkage wit te tock market (Ali, 2014), wile tere i a poitive relationip between M2 and tock market in te ort-run but negative in te long-run (Hump & Macmillan, 2005). Te ret of ti tudy i organized a follow: Te econd ection introduce te overview of te Jordanian economy and te Ilamic bank. Te tird ection preent te literature review in developed and developing countrie. Te fourt ection reveal te metodology, model and te data ued. Te fift ection dicue te empirical reult. Te final ection provide te concluion and recommendation. 168

2 International Journal of Economic and Finance Vol. 7, No. 2; Overview of te Jordanian Economy and Ilamic Bank Jordan i a mall open country wit limited natural reource. Te country economy i bogged down by deficiency of water, oil, ga, and oter natural reource. Furter, Jordan face oter iue uc a ig budget deficit, ig outtanding public debt, ig rate of poverty and unemployment (Central Bank of Jordan, 2013). Owing to tee callenge, Jordanian economy relie eavily on external aid, labor remittance tat are motly from te Gulf countrie and external debt, and wit regard to te natural reource, Jordan import oil from Iraq and ga from Egypt and recently from Qatar. During te 1970, te Jordanian economy recorded ig growt rate and uge capital inflow a a reult of te rie in te global oil price. Ti a increaed te demand on te Jordanian labor and indeed augmented te remittance to Jordan. However, in 1980, Jordanian economy witneed a receion period wic wa caued by a number of reaon uc a te decreae in oil price and te plummet of Jordanian dinar price from U.S. $ (2.95)for eac one Jordanian dinar in 1982 to U.S. $ (1.73) for te ame unit. Te period of 1990 it wa toug on Jordan' economy following te crii in Kuwait wic a caued te expulion of Jordanian worker from Kuwait, reduction of remittance and decreae in international aid. However, Jordan economic ituation tarted to recover after 1999 after following and implementing te new economic policie uc a te privatization of companie, igning many international agreement and global open trade. Nonetele, in 2008 Jordan economy wa badly affected by te global financial crii. More recently, in te end of 2010 Jordan ad to face wit difficult callenge caued by te political ituation in te neigboring countrie epecially in Syria and Iraq. Ti ad placed Jordan economy under preure a many refugee fled from toe countrie wile te countrie (Syria and Iraq) ad topped upplying oil and ga. In ort, ince 1976 until te preent time Jordan a been trying to reform te economy by implementing different police uc a privatizing, encouraging te local and foreign invetment and opening te trade regime. Since tat year (1976), numerou financial crie and political event ave appened and affected Jordan economy and financial ytem uc a te Iraq war in 1991, te bombing of Amman in 2005, te Global Financial Crii and more recently te 2011 Arab Spring tat prang up in te neigboring countrie (Iraq, Egypt and Syria). Te Ilamic banking in Jordan a exited for more tan two decade, tat i, ince te etabliment of te firt Ilamic bank in te country under name of Jordan Ilamic Bank in From ten on, te Bank a tarted to play an important role in te Jordanian financial market by contributing to different economie and ocial ector wit compliance wit te Saria principle and Ilamic rule (Sale & Zeitun, 2006). Currently, JIB offer many Ilamic intrument to benefit te cutomer and one of toe principle i Murabaa to te Purcae Order. MPO (Million JD) y = 1E+08e 0.029x R² = MPO Figure 1. Murabaa to te purcae-order in Jordan for te period Source: Jordan Ilamic Bank for Finance and Invetment, Annual Report, Figure 1 ow tat MPO ad reaced a yearly growt rate of 2.9% for te period and te increaing rate wa notable before te global financial crii (GFC) and during te period of Arab Spring. However, altoug te Ilamic bank were affected by te global financial crii and te political event, te effect differ from tat of te conventional bank and tock market tat may be related to it nature aet of te Ilamic bank (Kaleem, 2000). GDP i te um of te monetary value of all final good and ervice produced in te dometic economy and old in organized market during a pecified period of time, uually in a period of a year. Figure 2 reveal tat te GDP a acieved an annual growt rate of 8.6% for te period. Ti wa due to te increaed number of invetor during te Iraq War in 2004 and te Arab Spring in 2011, wic led to te tranfer of invetment to Jordan a one of te mot table countrie in te Middle Eat. 169

A own in Figure 4, M2 tarted wit a low value of JD 3.71 million in 1978 and reaced te iget peak in 2012 wit te value amounting to7.15 billion. Ti wa caued by te riing amount of external grant from te developed countrie and Gulf countrie to upport te Syrian refugee.

4 International Journal of Economic and Finance Vol. 7, No. 2; Literature Review Te link between banking and economic et a been examined ince 1911 wen Scumpeter tried to find te importance of te banking ytem on te level and growt rate of national income. Nonetele, more dicuion are needed wit regard to te iue from different perpective. Financial intrument uc a credit provided by banking ector and te liabilitie of te ytem in te economy are correlated wit GDP, aving, and openne trade (Leitão, 2012). Similarly, Joepine (2009) and Plamen and Kami (2009) argued tat bank credit could elp in te proviion of fund to generate productive invetment. In general, many tudie ave been conducted in te pat on te relationip between bank credit and economic growt. For intance, a tudy by Ibraim (2006) owed tat tere wa a poitive relationip between GDP and bank activity becaue an increae in GDP will raie bot upply and demand for loan. A GDP increae, bank will ave more fund to make loan due to te increae in te amount of depoit. Moreover, Agrawal (2001) found tat bot ig rate of growt of income per capita and te rapidly declining age dependency ratio ave contributed to te ig rate of aving in te even Aian countrie namely, Sout Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malayia, Tailand, Indoneia and India (Haron & Wan Azmi, 2006). Furter, Deidda and Fattou (2002) concluded tat tere i a poitive correlation between bank-baed financial development and growt of te economy in countrie wit iger income, and a indicated by Laktutiene (2008), wen te income of te country grow, market-baed financial tructure will increae. Gavin and Haumann (1998) and te report from IMF (1993) igligt tat advere ock in trading activity ave a ignificant impact on te banking ytem of Argentina, Cile, Colombia and Uruguay. Albeit tat, tudie tat invetigate te relationip between Ilamic banking and macroeconomic variable are till very rare (Furqani & Mulyany, 2009; Manap et al., 2012). 4. Data and Metodology In ti paper te annual time erie data are ued, wic are from te period. Te MPO i a preent of Jordan Ilamic Bank (dependent variable) and tree variable repreenting GDP, FDI and M2 (independent variable). Te data gatered are from te World Bank, Jordan Central Bank, te International Monetary Fund (IMF) and te Annual Statitical Bulletin of Jordan Ilamic Bank. All te time erie data are tranformed into logaritm. Te current tudy analye te equilibrium relationip among MPO and GDP, FDI and M2 in tree tep. In te firt tep, te integration level (tationary tet) of variable are detected and Ng and Perron (2001) i te mot popularly ued for ti purpoe. In te econd tep, te Co-integration tet i performed uing te Bound F-Statitic tet, and in te final tep, te ARDL approac i ued to etimate te equilibrium relationip among variable in model. Te paper a coen te ARDL approac becaue it generate conitent etimate of te long-run coefficient tat are aymptotically normal regardle of weter te underlying regreor are I(0), I(1) or factional integrated. In addition to tat, Pearan and Pearan (1997) alo dicovered tat te ARDL could be a reliable etimation and ypotei teting tool for te long-run coefficient for a mall ample in bot cae were te underlying regreor are I(1) or I(0). Te ARDL approac can be framed a in Equation.

Concluion and Furter Study Te current tudy examine te long-run and te ort-run relationip between te macroeconomic variable namely GDP, FDI and M2 and MPO. Te ARDL approac wa ued to tet te co-integration and etimate te equilibrium relationip for te annual time erie data from te period. Te reult indicate tat all variable are tationary at firt difference and tere are co-integration among te variable. Furter, te reult ow tat tere i a poitive relationip between macroeconomic variable and MPO in te long-run and te ort-run. Tee reult confirmed tat Jordan Ilamic bank i affected by macroeconomic variable. Te paper add to te exiting literature in te field of te impact of macroeconomic variable and Ilamic bank by invetigating te long-run and te ort-run equilibrium relationip.
