Forecasting of Turkish Sovereign Sukuk Prices Using Artificial Neural Network Model

Abstract

Recently, artificial neural networks have been successfully applied in many areas such as forecasting financial time series, predicting financial failure, and classification of ratings. However, it has hardly been applied in forecasting sukuk prices, which is considered the most common Islamic capital market instrument. Since sukuk is a new financial asset, there are not enough studies in this area. Therefore, this study aims to forecast the Turkish sovereign sukuk prices using with artificial neural network model and to reveal the determinants in the forecasting of sukuk prices. For this purpose, a multi-layer feed forward artificial neural network model is designed using dollar-based international sovereign sukuk price data issued by the Turkish Ministry of Treasury and Finance. The dollar index, volatility index, geopolitical risk index, Standard and Poor’s Middle East and North Africa sukuk index, and Eurobond prices constituted as input variables of the designed model and the sovereign sukuk prices formed the output. As a result, the sovereign sukuk prices were forecasted accurately at the success rate of 99.98%. The accurate forecasting of sukuk prices will play a critical role in reducing the risk perception of sukuk investors and increasing their profitability. The findings of the study are important in terms of proving that the artificial neural network model is an effective model for forecasting the sukuk prices and revealing that the dollar index, volatility index, geopolitical risk index, Standard and Poor’s MENA sukuk index, and Eurobond prices are determinants in forecasting sukuk prices.
