The new orientation towards implementing bank governance poses a challenge for private banks which adhere to the instructions of the Central Bank of Syria (CBS), on the one hand, and do their utmost to gain the trust of their clients, on the other hand. This dissertation aims at researching the level of commitment by Syrian private banks in implementing the standards of bank governance according to the CBS instructions and exploring its influence on the confidence of shareholders and investors in the bank's Board of Directors (BOD). For this end, the researcher investigates the concept of governance, its principles, standards, objectives and significance and the CBS role in enhancing and promoting bank govemance via the instructions and resolutions which oblige private banks to implement the governance guide issued by it.

Additionally, this research explains the role of bank governance in protecting and enhancing the rights of shareholders and investors and winning their trust in the bank's operations. The researcher makes use of a questionnaire with a number of questions that reflect the commitment of Syrian private banks to implement bank governance and its influence on promoting the confidence of shareholders and investors in the bank's BoD.

The dissertation leads to several conclusions most importantly: that the implementation of bank governance in Syrian private banks must be accompanied with a close follow up of the relevant recommendations issued by international committees in order to reach and implement the best practices; that the bank's BoD plays a significant role in observing the management's performance on behalf of shareholders and investors by maintaining high standards of accountability and ethics; and that the bank's administration is committed to a fair and equal treatment of all shareholders, investors and stakeholders and safeguarding their rights and capital. As for the field study, it revealed that the Syrian private banks are committed to the governance guide issued by the CBS, which has left a positive impact on the bank's performance indicators, made it highly competitive compared with its counterparts and attracted a wider group of investors, depositors and shareholders.
