    The present study aims to compute the level of financial inclusiveness in MENA region countries, considering the three fundamental dimensions that impact financial inclusion: depth, accessibility, and usage of financial services. Moreover, this article incorporates digital payments-related indicators, credit and debit cards, total borrowers, savers, and other indicators to create a more comprehensive financial inclusion index. A two-step PCA methodology with endogenous weighting is employed to develop the financial inclusion index. The data was collected from the IMF and the World Bank from 2010 to 2021. The resulting composite financial inclusion index (FI Index) can be compared across other countries in the MENA region over time, providing a valuable tool for policymakers and evaluators. The two-stage PCA approach implemented in this study addresses the issue of random weight selection and results in a more comprehensive evaluation of the degree of financial inclusion. In summary, this research enhances our understanding of financial inclusion in MENA region countries and offers a methodology to gauge and monitor progress.

    The goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure and financial performance (Return on Equity and Tobin’s Q) in Halal food companies. The sample consists of 75 listed Halal food companies on the Bursa Malaysia Stock Exchange for the period between 2012 and 2021. Based on the empirical results using a generalized moment of method (GMM), the dimensions of triple bottom line-based corporate social responsibility—economic, environmental, and social—have a significant effect on return on assets. Furthermore, findings indicate that economic factors have an insignificant effect on Tobin’s Q in static models; however, it is significant in the dynamic model of the system GMM. Whereas environmental factor has a highly significant impact on Tobin’s Q in the static model and it has also significant impact in the GMM’s dynamic model. Nonetheless, social factors have a significant effect on Tobin’s Q in both static and dynamic models. The outcome of the study suggests that policymakers must comprehend the significance of corporate social responsibility disclosure, and it is imperative to determine whether Halal food companies must engage in corporate social responsibility disclosure a priori for short and long-term growth.
