An Application On Interest Rate Pass-Through In TURKEY

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the pass-through speed and rate of the changes, regarding the overnight borrowing rate of Central Bank of Republic of Turkey, to bank rates for loans. Therefore, policy interest rates were taken as reference for the period between 2002-2014, when inflationtargeting regime was adopted in Turkey. Vector Autoregression (VAR), co-integration, and Granger causality tests were used during the analysis. Through the Vector Autoregression (VAR) modeling analysis, the resistance of bank interest to the changes in policy interest rate was measured in short term. The existence of a long term relation between the mentioned interests and co-integration was examined, and the speed and level of passthrough effect of the interests were manifested with Error Correction Model. As the conclusion of this research study, it can be mentioned that the pass-through effect to the bank interests is fast and high in the long term in our country, even if the deposit and loan types change. The pass-through effect to the loan interests the household uses has been faster and in higher level compared to the commercial credit.
