Abstract

Currency swap is a financial derivative widely utilized to manage foreign exchange liquidity and toconduct carry trade transactions. Besides, central banks and investors follow currency swap marketfor the purposes of valuing financial derivatives, estimating counterparty risk and inferring aboutmonetary policy stance. Therefore, it is crucial to interpret the information related to currency swaprates. However, currency swap rates are quoted as par-rate, and their interpretation is not straightforward. This study employs one of the most popular parametric yield curve estimation methods, Nelson-Siegel model, for currency swap rates to form a zero-coupon currency swap yield curve. Theresults show the fitted and quoted currency swap rates are quite close to each other. Additionally, thezero-coupon swap rates are compared with forward implied rates for specific maturities since bothproducts are quite similar in nature. Both rates are observed to move together, which shows the consistency of our estimations.

Özet

Kur takas, özellikle döviz likiditesini yönetme ve taúma ticareti (carry trade) iúlemlerini yapabilme amaçlaryla oldukça yaygn bir úekilde kullanlan bir türev enstrümandr. Ayrca, merkez bankalar ve yatrmclar da kur takas piyasasn türev ürünleri de÷erlemek, karú taraf riski hesaplamak ve para politikas duruúu hakknda bilgi çkarmak amaçlaryla yakndan takip etmektedirler. Bu sebeple, kur takas faiz oranlarndaki de÷iúimleri do÷ru yorumlamak oldukça önemlidir. Ancak, kur takas oranlar par-faiz oranlar oldu÷u için do÷rudan yorumlamak çok kolay de÷ildir. Bu çalúmada, getiri e÷risi tahmininde oldukça yaygn olarak kullanlan parametrik Nelson-Siegel modeli ile spot kur takas getiri e÷risi tahmin edilmektedir. Sonuçlar kote edilen ve tahmin edilen oranlarn birbirlerine oldukça yakn gerçekleútiklerini göstermektedir. Ek olarak, spot kur takas faiz oranlar ile kur forwardlarn ima etti÷i faiz oranlar do÷as gere÷i oldukça benzer ürünler olmalarndan dolay belirli vadeler için karúlaútrlmútr. Bulgular belirtilen faiz oranlarnn birbirlerine oldukça yakn oldu÷unu göstermektedir.
