This study explores the impact of financial metrics, specifically Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), on stock values in Islamic banking in Pakistan. Islamic banking in Pakistan lacks empirical research on how financial indicators like ROA and ROE affect stock values, creating a gap in understanding crucial performance metrics for investors. The study adopts a quantitative method, analyzing secondary statistics from the Pakistan Stock Exchange and Meezan Bank websites for the period 2016–2022. Linear regression in EViews is applied to assesses the relationship between ROA, ROE, and stock prices of the Bank. Results of the study indicates that the stock prices are positively influenced by returns and equity, however, impact of return on asset is statistically significant at 10 percent confidence interval.  The study is limited to data from PSB and IMBS, restricting its generalizability to other banks or markets. Study suggests investors should prioritize ROA and ROE metrics when evaluating stocks in Islamic banking, as they are essential for understanding performance and making informed decisions.

This study analyzes the interrelationship between consistency and quality in team performance and their impact on efficiency. The research is based on empirical data from the “Iman Invest Fintech” company, in which the daily activities of teams, the stability of results, and service quality indicators were examined in depth. The main focus is on identifying the role of consistency (stability, adherence to processes, and repeatability of results) in overall performance. The results indicate that for teams, the ability to consistently deliver stable outcomes is, in some cases, more important than achieving high but inconsistent quality results. Consistency strengthens collaboration within the team, reduces errors, and improves predictability, which in turn enhances overall efficiency. The study employs regression and panel analysis methods to evaluate the relative impact of consistency and quality. In addition, although diminishing marginal returns of consistency were identified, it still remains a significant factor. In conclusion, developing consistency as a priority direction for fintech teams is considered an effective strategy for improving efficiency

This article provides a systematic analysis of the theoretical and legal foundations of higher education financing in foreign countries. The study aims to identify the legal design of combining key funding sources, including state budgets, tuition-based contracts, grants, and philanthropic endowments, and to comparatively assess institutions that shape efficient financing. The methodology applies institutional analysis, content analysis of regulatory and legal acts, and a comparative approach using indicators from the OECD and the European Higher Education Area. The scientific novelty lies in interpreting financing models through a three-layer framework: the architecture of legal sources, allocation mechanisms, and accountability and transparency instruments. The results show how legal norms in different jurisdictions connect performance-based budgeting, student-centered voucher funding, and mixed grant–tuition schemes, thereby influencing autonomy, equity, and quality assurance in higher education systems

The theoretical discussion integrates perspectives from neoclassical growth theory, endogenous growth models, institutional economics and evolutionary economics to frame the empirical strategy

In recent years, the intensification of global financial instability has posed significant challenges to banking markets. In response, commercial banks have placed particular emphasis on enhancing their resilience to economic fluctuations. According to expert forecasts, activity in the global banking sector is expected to increase substantially in 2025–2026. Notably, inflation in the Eurozone in 2024 is projected to be around 2.3% instead of the previously forecast 2.7%. Financial stability, however, remains tied to moderate growth prospects. Various models typically chosen or approved by regulators are used to assess banks’ stability. Contemporary research focuses on improving existing methodologies and financial stability indicators in light of changes in the global macroeconomic environment, raising capital adequacy requirements for banks, and enhancing tools for forecasting their future performance. At the same time, the adoption of new technologies and financial instruments is accelerating banks’ digital transformation and the automation of their business processes. This article offers a comprehensive study of the means and mechanisms for ensuring the financial stability of commercial banks in Uzbekistan. Its primary objective is to analyze the state of the banking sector and identify ways to strengthen its resilience, drawing on global best practices and national specificities. To achieve this, both scientific-pedagogical methods (historical-comparative analysis, structural-logical research) and empirical approaches (statistics from regulatory documents and bank reports, expert surveys) are employed.
