description Aggressive bank financing operations can increase a bank’s profit. However, this operational approach exposes the bank to higher operational risk. Conversely, excessive holdings on liquidity offer safety, but it will reduce funds for financing and investment operations. Consequently, there is a trade-off between liquidity holdings and profitability performances. The objective of this study is to assess the implications of liquidity holdings on Islamic bank's profitability. This study utilized the dynamic panel data technique with Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model applied to the annual data of Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia from 1998-2014. The estimation of which Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) is regressed on the liquidity holdings ratio. The result shows that the relationship takes the form of quadratic function with a downward concave parabolic due to the insufficient amount of fund.
