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 measure the impact of changes in weighted average interest rate
on the activities of the Syrian banking industry, which is represented by deposit
management and credit policies, and to examine to what extent that activities
res
ponds to weighted average interest rate. To achieve the objectives of the study the
data has been collected from some Syrian commercial banks during 2005-2010. Two
patterns of slight regression have been used, the first to assess the relationship
between the weighted average interest rate and deposit indices and the second to
examine the relation between deposit indices and credits indices.
