This study aimed to examine the weak form efficiency of the Damascus Securities Exchange (DSE). The study used the monthly returns, adjusted for thin trading, of firms listed in the Damascus Securities Exchange from 2009 until 2014 and applied various tests to examine the random walk behavior in returns: the unit root test, the autocorrelation test, the runs test and the GARCH model. To take the impact of the Syrian crisis into account when judging the efficiency of the market, the study period was divided into three periods, the pre-crisis period, the crisis period and the whole period. The results revealed inability to reject the weak form efficient market hypothesis for more than half of the studied firms.

Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة لفهم كفاءة سوق دمشق للأوراق المالية، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، الاعتماد على العوائد الشهرية بدلاً من اليومية قد يؤدي إلى تجاهل بعض التفاصيل الدقيقة التي يمكن أن تظهر في البيانات اليومية. ثانيًا، الدراسة تركز على الشركات الأكثر تداولًا فقط، مما قد يسبب تحيزًا في النتائج. كان من الأفضل تضمين جميع الشركات المدرجة للحصول على صورة أكثر شمولية. ثالثًا، لم تأخذ الدراسة في الاعتبار العوامل الأخرى التي قد تؤثر على كفاءة السوق مثل السياسات الاقتصادية والتغيرات التنظيمية. أخيرًا، كان من الممكن تقديم توصيات أكثر تحديدًا لتحسين كفاءة السوق بناءً على النتائج المستخلصة.

The researcher concluded that there is a significant relation between the volatility of the market excess return and the volatility of the excess returns of stocks of the examined companies, But the researcher also concluded that (CAPM) is not valid in (DSE), because of the failure in the statistical test. That the constant of the regression equation is not equal to zero and the slope of the security market line is not equal to the average excess return of the stocks of examined companies. The researcher recommended that this study should be retested when there are a suitable number of listed companies in order to form portfolios that can diversify away the effect of the unsystematic risk of each company, and to retest the CAPM after the crises, because the average excess returns for all of the examined companies were negative. Finally, the researcher recommended trying other models of asset pricing such as Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT), and (Fama) Multifactor Model.
