The objective of this study was to determine the factors
affecting the weighted interest rate margin in the traditional
commercial banking sector within the Syrian banking industry. To
achieve this, the researcher collected the necessary data on t
he
commercial banks listed in Damascus Securities exchange for the
period 2008-2014 and analyzed them statistically. The behavior of
a depended variable that reflect the weighted average of interest
rate margin to deposits and credit facilities (loans, overdraft) was
examined. Also the independent variables that reflect credit risk,
financing risk and some economic factors were examined. The
independent variables are the net exposures to direct credit risk,
the credit default rate, ratio of financial leverage and the exchange
rate of the Syrian Pound against the US Dollar. The multiple linear
regression models of the studied variables were used.

This paper aimed to identify the determinants of bank net interest rate margins
within the context of the Syrian banking industry. To achieve the objectives of the
study the data has been collected from those commercial banks listed on the
Damascu
s exchange stock (DES) during 2006-2010. The sample used in this study
consists of a panel data set for sixe commercial banks. The empirical specification
focuses on the reported net interest rate margin that is assumed to be a function of
operation cost, owner's equity, loans-to-asset proxy, size factor, market share,
growth rate, inflation factor, exchange rate. For testing purposes, panel data analysis
is used by employing three alternative models to estimate the parameters of the
model, the Pooled simple regression, the Fixed Effect Model and the Random Effect
Model.
