The dynamic model employed and estimated using the Generalized Method of Moment revealed the existence of target debt ratio and firms readjust when deviated. Results also showed inclination to Shariah compliant characteristics of these MEs. This study contributes to the literature and fills the gap by exploring into a relatively new area of debt financing which is the dynamic aspects and also help to enhance the understanding on debt financing behaviour of Shariah compliant MEs in Malaysia ICM.
