Abstract

Despite its widespread use globally, majority of the Turkish financial institutions are still unaware of Credit Default Swaps (CDS), stemming mainly from insufficient financial infrastructure and information base for credit derivatives. This study analyzes Turkish CDS from various perspectives. The findings exhibit that 10-year spreads are found to be overpriced, primarily due to the lack of liquidity in current CDS market in Turkey. Besides, the term structure of default probability estimations for Turkey reveal that the level and the change in default risk for Turkey for the next five years is relatively low, particularly when compared to 2001 which is marked as the worst crisis year.

Özet

Yurtdışı piyasalaradaki yaygın kullanımına rağmen, Türkiye'de kredi türev araçları için yeterli fınansal ve bilgi altyapısının oluşmaması nedeniyle Türk fınans kurumlarının birçoğu halen Kredi Temerrüt Swaplarini bilmemekte ya da kullanmamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türk kredi temerrüt swaplarini farklı açılardan incelemektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, 10 yıllık swap spreadlarinin aşırı değerli olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bunun da temel nedeni olarak, mevcut Kredi Temerrüt Swap piyasalarının halen yeterli ölçüde likit olmaması gösterilebilir. Bunun yanında, Türkiye'nin mevcut borçlarına ilişkin temerrüte düşme olasılığı tahminlerinin vade yapısı incelendiğinde, Türkiye'nin gelecek beş sene içinde temerrüte düşme riskinin , özellikle tüm zamanlar için en kötü kriz senesi olarak kabul edilen 2001 yılı ile kıyaslandığında, nisbeten düşük olduğu görülmektedir.
