Abstract
Investors believe that economic factors have a major impact on developments in the
Islamic capital market. This study aims to describe and analyze macroeconomics
of the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI). The sample of this study consisted of
84 data consisting of all population data, namely all data on closing prices at the
end of each month from exchange rates, BI Rate, inflation, world oil prices, world
gold prices, and the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) for the period January
2013 - December. 2019. The analysis technique used is the Error Correction Model
(ECM). The results showed that in the short term the exchange rate variable had a
significant effect on the ISSI, while the BI Rate, inflation, world oil prices and world
gold prices had no effect on the ISSI. In the long run, the variable exchange rate, BI
Rate, inflation and world gold prices have a significant effect on the ISSI, while the
world oil price variable has no effect on the ISSI.

INTRODUCTION
An increasingly advanced economic de-
velopment will open people’s minds to a more
modern direction, especially in terms of investing
the funds they have. The public will increasingly
understand about investment choices considering
the risks that may be faced in the future (Oktavia-
ni & Wijayanto, 2015).
The presence of a capital market in a
country is considered very important to drive
the national economy which functions as a faci-
lity provider to facilitate companies and issuers
in obtaining funds (Rachmawati & Laila, 2015).
Economic stability in a country has an impact on
performance in the country’s capital market, as
well as the capital market in Indonesia (Ningsih
& Cahyaningdyah, 2014).
Capital market conditions in Indone-
sia are reflected in the stock price index. Ac-
tivities that occur in the capital market are
demand and supply activities between inves-
tors who have excess funds and companies
that need funds (Utama & Puryandani, 2020).
In Indonesia the capital market is regula-
ted in Law Number 8 of 1995. However, the exis-
ting capital market contains various things that
deviate from sharia principles (Nazir, 2016). This
is a problem because Indonesia is one of the lar-
gest Muslim countries in the world (Suciningtias
& Khoiroh, 2015), which of course the majority
of the population in Indonesia is Muslim.
In recent years, Islamic finance activities
have attracted great attention around the world
(Kumar & Sahu, 2017). In Islamic investment
that existed and taught during this time, there
was with in Islam it is different from conventio-
nal investment. There are many things that make
investors interested in replacing conventional
systems with Islamic systems. The public views
that the sharia economy contributes optimally in
boosting economic growth (Novitasari & Khoir-
uddin, 2017).
The shares of companies that are listed
in sharia are very different from the shares of
companies that are not included in the sharia
