The Effect of Using Performance Indicators in Evaluating Banking Investments (An Analytical Study on Private Banks Listed on the Damascus Securities Exchange)

(An Analytical Study for The Syrian Traditional Private Banks during the period 2011-2020)

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the banking investments of traditional Syrian private banks using performance indicators during the period (2011-2020); Where the relationship between the evaluation of banking investments as a dependent variable represented by the bank loan portfolio, and between the independent variables: bank liquidity, interest rate, and exchange rate, was studied using analysis methods and tests based on the statistical program Eviews(10).

The results that were reached proved that the relationship between loans and the exchange rate is direct, and inverse with both the interest rate and liquidity, and that all the model variables have stabilized after taking the first difference; After doing both the slowdown and co-integration tests to find the fit of the functional form of the “Ramsey” model, it was found that the estimated model is not functionally suitable and therefore cannot be applied; In order to avoid the errors of the model, the researcher recommended the possibility of developing it by introducing new variables, the method of calculating the variables, or increasing the study period.
