  • Collusion in the Turkish Banking Sector Dr
    96 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EURASIAN ECONOMIES 2012 Collusion in the Turkish Banking Sector Dr. Resul Aydemir (Kadir Has University, Turkey) Abstract In this paper, I consider the Turkish Banking Industry, which is dominated by a few large banks. Using a conjectural variation approach, I estimate a structural model to examine the market conduct of the largest banks for the period 1988-2009. Estimation results suggest that the Turkish banks colluded in the loan market during the sample period where the average mark-up is estimated to be in the range of 44% to 86% depending on the empirical specification. This evidence demonstrates a conflict between market concentration and competition in the Turkish banking industry. Thus, regulatory agencies should be cautious against attempts to increase concentration in the banking industry. JEL codes: G21, L10 1 Introduction Recent global crisis has put the banking industry in various parts of the world on the spot light. Many US and European banks have severely affected by the financial crisis. Policy makers have offered solutions to rescue banking industry from this turmoil in Greece, Spain and Italy among other countries. Since the strength of national economies depend on healthy financial sector, which in turn largely comprised by the banking industry in many countries including Turkey, one needs to assess the competitiveness of the banking sector for effective macro-economic policy making. Due to major structural changes after 1999 and 2001 crisis, the Turkish banking industry has been successfully passing through the recent crisis. Some industry analysts and academics claim that the Turkish banking industry is competitive while also profitable.

  • Fitch Downgrades 14 Turkish Banks; Outlook Negative
    7/22/2019 [ Press Release ] Fitch Downgrades 14 Turkish Banks; Outlook Negative Fitch Downgrades 14 Turkish Banks; Outlook Negative Link to Fitch Ratings' Report(s): Fitch Downgrades 14 Turkish Banks; Outlook Negative Fitch Ratings-London-19 July 2019: Fitch Ratings has downgraded the support-driven Long-Term Foreign Currency Issuer Default Ratings (LTFC IDRs) of 12 foreign-owned Turkish banks and their subsidiaries, and two state-owned development banks, Turkiye Ihracat Kredi Bankasi A.S. (Turk Eximbank) and Turkiye Kalkinma Bankasi A.S. (TKYB). The agency has also downgraded the Long-Term Local Currency IDRs of 22 banks and their subsidiaries. The Outlooks on all banks' Long-Term IDRs are Negative. Viability Ratings (VRs) are not affected as a result of these rating actions. A full list of rating actions is available at www.fitchratings.com or via the link above. The rating actions follow the downgrade of Turkey's sovereign rating on 12 July 2019 (see "Fitch Downgrades Turkey to 'BB-'; Outlook Negative" at www.fitchratings.com). In Fitch's view, the dismissal of Turkey's central bank governor heightens doubts about the authorities' tolerance for a period of sustained below-trend growth and disinflation that Fitch considers consistent with a rebalancing and stabilisation of the economy, and highlights a deterioration in Turkey's institutional independence and economic policy coherence and credibility. The downgrades of the foreign-owned Turkish banks' LTFC IDRs to 'B+' from 'BB-' reflects increased risk of government intervention in the banking sector in case of a marked deterioration in Turkey's external finances. We continue to view the risk of intervention that would prevent banks from servicing their FC obligations to be slightly higher than that of a sovereign default, and this result in these ratings being capped one notch below the sovereign LTFC IDR.
