AB  - The purpose of this researchis to compare
critically the performance of Islamic and conventional
banks in Syria. Moreover, explore the impact of capital
adequacy, liquidity, efficiency and risk management on
assets performance. This study analyzed private banking
sector in Syria over the period 2011-2017. We used paired
sample t-test, correlation and multiple regression to meet
our objectives. The results suggest that Islamic banks
were better in term of capital adequacy, efficiency, risk
management and liquidity. While conventional banks
better in terms of profitability. This study is a pioneering
attempt for analyzing banking sector in Syria, therefore,
has significance for academicians, researchers and
policymakers in planning works for future directions.
