- This study aimed to measure the impact of banking risk which represented "liquidity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk" on the degree ofsafety for traditional (commercial) Jordanian banks. A sample of Jordanian traditional banks wasused during the period (2000-2011).The methodology which used to analyze the impact of bankingrisks on the degree of safety in commercial banks is the multiple linear regression. The studyhypotheses were tested independently for each type of risk. The results showed a statisticallysignificant relationship between bank risk and the degree of safety for Jordanian commercial banks.The study recommended that the risk management should be subject to a continuous surveillance bythe management, with focus on credit risk. Also, sources and usages of funds should be identifiedand determined, considering the main targets for banks. ( I.e. liquidity, profitability andsafety). Developing appropriate mechanisms to deal with the bank risk, the statement of seriousnesson banks and continues development of regulatory controls are also recommended.
