Abstract:

CAMELS is a method for measuring the performance of banks on the basis of the components of capital efficiency, asset quality, management efficiency, profitability, liquidity and market risk sensitivity. The analysis shows how different each bank is from the industry average.  In this study, the aim is to carry out performance analysis by the CAMELS method of Turkish deposit banks with different active size and ownership structure. In this context, 27 Turkish deposit banks have been divided into different groups according to their ownership structure (public capital, private capital and foreign capital) and their active size (most 9, average 9 and smallest 9) and have been compared between groups on the basis of CAMELS performance points between 2012-2016. In the light of the achieved results, the difference made according to the capital structure has shown that the bank groups have similar performance results. The difference made by the active size is that 9 deposito banks with the smallest active size have a higher performance level than the deposito banks with the largest 9 and the average 9 active size.
