This prompted policymakers in the GCC region to modify their Corporate Governance (C.G.) codes to boost the financial position of the GCC banking industry as liquidity providers and minimize systemic risk. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conceptually investigate the relationship between board governance attributes and liquidity creation in the GCC banking sector.\u0000Methodology – The methodology employed in this study is a review of prior research on bank governance mechanisms and liquidity creation to gather perspective and establish a prediction about the association between board attributes and liquidity creation in the GCC banking industry. \u0000Findings – The study concludes that there is a positive correlation between the analyzed board governance features and the creation of liquidity based on several theories gleaned from a review of prior research.\u0000Novelty – The study evaluates bank liquidity creation and how board attributes influence it.\u0000Type of Paper: Review\u0000JEL Classification: M41, M49.\u0000Keywords: Liquidity Creation, Corporate Governance, Agency Theory, Board Attributes, GCC.\u0000Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Mousa, A.K.A; Hassan, N.L; Pirzada, K.

The managers responded to questions set on a 5-Likert scale bordering on aspects of managerial and organisational attributes, the rationale for selecting specific capital budgeting techniques, the impediments to the use of advanced capital budgeting techniques (ACBTs), and the traction of non-financial, environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) factors. IBM SPSS v.23 and analysis of moment structure (AMOS) v.20, descriptive analysis, correlation, and multiple regressions were used. SEM was applied to determine the strength of the relationship between the latent capital budgeting variables tested in the model. \u0000Findings – The results show that the model has an acceptable fit that meets the recommended values. Specifically, the use of advanced capital budgeting methods (ACBMs) relative to financial and non-financial factors in the capital investment decision model is the most influencing path in this SEM model; The rest of the observed relationships are insignificant at a 5% significance level.\u0000Novelty – Using relatively more advanced capital budgeting approaches such as real options could significantly impact financial and non-financial factors, thereby opening the prospects for more integrated project appraisal approaches. Cash flow, net present value (NPV), environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, top management role, and clarity of business policy are among the determinants of sustainable capital budgeting. This is perhaps the first study that has applied the SEM approach to generating more insights into capital budgeting factors than previous studies emphasizing the Omani non-oil sector.\u0000Type of Paper: Empirical\u0000JEL Classification: G11, G31\u0000Keywords: Advanced capital budgeting methods (ACBMs); Confirmatory factor analysis; Exploratory factor analysis; Investment decisions; Oman, Real options; Structural equation modelling.\u0000Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Gordon, S.A.
