using a Vector Error Correction Model framework. The results confirm a long

run
equilibrium relations
hip among digitalization, macroeconomic conditions, and BMT
financial performance. Digitalization emerges as the dominant driver, where digital
user adoption strongly drives intermediation efficiency while digital transaction
volume generates the most pers
istent contribution to asset growth. Macroeconomic
variables exert minimal direct causal influence, though inflation poses a more
persistent threat to intermediation efficiency than interest rate movements. A
fundamental asymmetry is identified in that bre
adth and depth of digitalization operate
through distinct institutional channels. BMT management is encouraged to develop
digitally accessible financing products to convert active transactors into productive
financing participants. For regulators, this stu
dy provides empirical justification for
policies facilitating digital transformation across Islamic microfinance cooperatives to
strengthen financial inclusion and institutional resilience.
