Monetary Policy Shocks and Bank Interest Rate Pass-Through in Türkiye: Asymmetric Evidence from Deposit and Business Credit Rates
Öz
This study asks whether monetary policy tightening and easing are transmitted differently to bank interest rates in Türkiye. The analysis draws on monthly data from January 2017 through December 2025 for the policy rate, the business credit rate, and the bank deposit rate. Positive and negative policy-rate changes are modelled separately within a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag framework, following the asymmetric cointegration approach of Shin et al. (2014) and the level-relationship framework developed by Pesaran et al. (2001). The findings indicate that bank rates respond more strongly to monetary tightening than to easing, with the difference most pronounced for business credit. Long-run asymmetry receives moderate statistical support, whereas short-run differences are less distinct. The extended dynamic responses converge to direction-specific long-run pass-through levels, reinforcing the conclusion that Türkiye’s bank interest-rate channel depends on the direction of policy.
