Abstract

ABSTRACT We study the transmission of exchange rate shocks in the Turkish interbank loan market using high-frequency bank-level data. Our results suggest that interbank market plays a stabilizing role: following large domestic currency depreciations, banks with a higher share of foreign currency liabilities borrow more in the interbank market, with a higher but insignificant effect on borrowing costs. The results are stronger the larger the exchange rate shock is and the lower the capital adequacy or liquidity ratios of borrower banks. Interbank markets play a weaker stabilizing role for banks with higher short-term rollover risks.
