Does the bank lending channel of monetary transmission work in Turkey? Using the May- June 2006 financial turbulence as an exogenous shock that prompted a significant tightening of monetary policy, this paper examines the loan supply response of Turkey's banks, depending on their balance sheet characteristics. The empirical results indicate that banks can play a role in Turkey's monetary transmission mechanism. Specifically, bank liquidity is found to have a significant effect on loan supply in Turkey. This suggests that the effect of monetary policy in Turkey can be propagated by the banking sector, depending on its liquidity position.

The period following the 2000-01 crisis was marked by a successful disinflation program sustained through inflation targeting and fiscal discipline in Turkey. This paper studies the impact of monetary and fiscal policies on credit growth during this period. Using quarterly bank-level data covering 2002-08, we find evidence that liquidity-constrained banks have sharper decline in lending during contractionary monetary policies and that crowding-out effect disappears more for banks with a retail-banking focus when fiscal policies are prudent.The results are statistically weak, suggesting that bank lending channel is not strong in Turkey and government finances has limited direct impact on credit.

We find evidence that monetary policy influenced bank lending in Turkey in the period 1991 - 2007 both directly through the money lending channel and indirectly through the bank lending channel. The bank lending channel is shown to depend on two bank characteristics, namely liquidity and capital. We also find that both capital and GDP growth have plausible positive and significant long-run effects on bank loan growth, whereas inflation, bank size and, in particular, efficiency do not have a significant equilibrium relationship with loan growth. This latter result is despite our finding that the efficiency of all Turkish banks improved over the period. It is also evident that domestic banks are, unexpectedly, found to be more efficient, on average, than foreign banks. We discovered no evidence of significant dynamics or fixed-effects in the growth of loans and so prefer to use the pooled OLS estimator over the fixed-effects and Arellano and Bond estimators. We therefore caution against assuming the existence of fixed-effects and dynamics in such models as this may adversely affect inference.
