English Abstract
This study was based on a sample survey conducted among seventeen commercial banks in Palestine.
Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected for the purpose of this study. Study concluded that corporate governance procedures applied in the banking sector in Palestine are effective to some extent in achieving the goals and objectives (what are they?) for which they were established.
However, it is still in its infancy.
The existing corporate governance procedures in the surveyed banks are still not effectively nor efficiently implemented.
However, some of the noted improvements in the Palestinian banking sector can be attributed to the deliberate efforts in improving corporate governance in Palestine. Therefore there is a need for stakeholders to play an effective role in providing banks with necessary professional and technical assistance towards the implementation of these (Basel 2 regulations). The regulatory and supervision systems have been issued by the Palestinian Monetar Authority.
It is recommended that strategic training for banks' board members and senior bank managers be intensified by stakeholders in corporate governance to promote good corporate governance in these institutions.
Banks should be assisted to develop principles of corporate governance that cut across all the functions of the banks.
Expedient solution to the stalemate on Palestinian Monitory Authority. Following this ruling, various conflicting legal interpretations have been published which most banks find confusing.
Issues of delays in decision making due to the existing legal framework should be addressed.
