English Abstract

Palestinian Banking Sector has its own unique peculiarities due to the natures of hardships and intricacies it is facing.

It has to maneuver unlimited numbers of barriers.

The turbulent political circumstances, the immature legal infrastructure, and the questionable administrative approaches operating in Palestine have burdened all aspects of our domestic life including the banking sector.

After being enchanted by the illusive progress in the peace process in the mid-nineties of the last century, banks began to ease their conditions and to extend their financing to different sectors in the society.

No sooner had the political march been retreated than the troubled credits began to surge in uncontrolled way.

Troubled credits issue is an endemic disease for which the society has paid an exorbitant price.

It has its subjective and objective causes.

The regulatory authorities prefer to handle the issue with high confidential approach away from the public media despite its overwhelming and pervasive impacts.

This thesis is trying to shed some light on this issue and to call for better management and more courageous confrontation especially since transparency and the right to know are both missing values.

The research was performed in accordance with the scientific research methodology applicable in similar circumstances and included literature review, structured and unstructured interviews so as to raise appropriate issues related to the problem.

The process ended with deductions to diagnose the dimensions of the crisis and to suggest certain steps necessary and relevant in the situation.

The thesis shows that a lot of works have to be performed in terms of enhancing the employees’ quality of experience and knowledge, addressing and ingraining professional policies and procedures to define the way of conduct and handling the employee has to follow, and in the way PMA is dealing with the crisis.
