Abstract:

Expanding monetary policy practices, preferred by developed countries after the global crisis, have caused sudden fund movements in the financial markets as the risk appetite increased. These developments have directed central banks that are working with the main objective of ensuring price stability into new policy searches. One of the tools developed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey in the framework of non-traditional monetary policy tools is the reservation option mechanism. This study analyzed the relationship between the use of the reserve option mechanism in Turkey and the business and consumer loans for the period 2011: 09 - 2019: 02 . According to the non-linear asymmetric soft transitional error correction model developed by Hepsağ (2019), a long-term combined relationship between the variables has been achieved.  Keywords: Reserve Option Mechanism, Consumer Loans, Business Loans JEL Classification: E4, E5

Abstract:

Expansionary monetary policies, which were preferably implemented by developed countries after the global crisis, together with increases in risk appetite, caused sudden changes in fund activities in financial markets. As a result of this, central banks whose primary objective is to ensure price stability began to seek new policies. In this regard, the reserve options mechanism is one of the non-traditional monetary policy instruments developed and conducted by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). This study aims to analyse and illustrate the relationship between the use of reserve options mechanism in Turkey and working capital and consumer loans from September 2011 to February 2019. In the light of the nonlinear asymmetric smooth transition error correction model developed by Hepsag (2019), the results indicate that there is a long-run cointegration relationship between the variables.
