Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare directional expectations of credit volume and interest rate of the banking sector with realized observations and to test whether bankers are successful in forecasting the direction of credit volume and interest rates. Using data from the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency's Survey on expectations of bank managers, it is observed that the quantified expectations capture the movement of the direction of the credit volume and interest rates. Directional accuracy tests reveal that for some survey questions, the hypothesis on the independency of the direction of predicted change and the actual change cannot be rejected whereas for others the independency hypothesis is rejected. On the other hand, the analyses indicate that the success of forecasts does not differ when credit volumes/interest rates rise or fall.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bankacılık sektörünün kredi hacmi ve faiz oranlarının yönüne ilişkin beklentilerini gerçekleşmelerle karşılaştırmak ve bankacıların kredi hacmi ve faiz oranlarının yönünü başarılı biçimde tahmin edip etmediğini sınamaktadır. Bankacılık Düzenleme ve Denetleme Kurulu (BDDK) tarafından düzenlenen Bankacılık Sektörü Yönetici Kesimi Beklenti Anketi verileri kullanılarak sayısallaştırılmış olan beklentilerin gerçekleşmelerin hareketini yakaladığı görülmektedir. Beklentiler ile gerçekleşmelerin yönü arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek üzere uygulanan yönsel doğruluk testleri (directional accuracy tests), bazı sorularda beklenti ve gerçekleşmelerin yönleri arasında ilişki olmadığı hipotezini kabul ederken bazılarında ise beklenti ile gerçekleşmelerin yönünün birbirinden bağımsız olmadığı görülmüştür. Öte yandan yapılan analizler, tahmin başarısının krediler/faiz oranları artarken ve azalırken benzer olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
