In Turkey in the pre-1980 period, since the use
of foreign currency of individuals was confined, dollarization was not a significant
problem. After the decisions of January 24, 1980, regulation in the exchange
regime paved the way for foreign currency to be demanded for various aims. Inflation
decreases both purchasing power of economic agents and amount of cash assets
held in national currency. In inflationary periods, individuals want to refrain
from worthless national currency by investing their assets in investment
instruments such as real estate, gold and exchange. Turkey, where high
inflation has been observed for many years, is among the countries that have experiencing
these processes of dollarization. In this study which investigated the
relationship between dollarization and inflation in Turkey, Vector
Autoregressive Model (VAR) was used as econometric method. As a result of the
variance decomposition results, 0.63% of a 1% change in the inflation rate in
the 10th period is explained by the dollarization rate; In the same period,
5.32% of the 1% change in dollarization rate is explained by inflation rate.
The relationship between the variables was investigated by Johansen
Cointegration Test and no long-term relationship was found between the two
variables. According to the Granger Causality findings, dollarization rate is
cause of inflation rate at significance level of 10%.
