أثر الانقسام السياسي على دور البنوك التجارية في تمويل الاقتصاد الغزي 2009-2004 م

Abstract EN

Due to the siege imposed on Gaza Strip, the Palestinian economy development process suffers from a disability in the funding process due to low contribution of the banking sector in funding development activities.

The study highlighted the role of commercial banks in the development of national economy under political division and siege.

The political division situation had a negative impact on the national economy in General and on commercial banks operating in the Gaza Strip in particular.

The political division reduced the role of commercial banks operating in Gaza Strip in comparison with the West Bank.

This created a state of mutual distrust between commercial banks and the various economic sectors due to the political situation and economic crisis.

This state of distrust led the banks operating in Gaza Strip to follow a conservative policy, leading to a declining economic activity and creating a liquidity crisis in the banking sector followed by the so-called ‘tunnels economy’.
