INVESTIGATING BANKS’ PERFORMANCE FOR TURKEY: AN APPLICATION OF PROMETHEE METHOD
Öz
Bank failures bring high costs to every part of a country’s economy. If
the necessary early warnings regarding the performance of the banks can
be taken on time by the officials, policy makers and intuitions
concerned, bank failures can be prevented and a more robust financial
environment can be sustained. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to measure the performance and failure risk of Turkish deposit banks and
to obtain ranking of the banks based on their financial ratios. To this
end, we benefit from a data set which allows us to compare the current
banks not only on the basis of their present relative position, but also
on the basis of their position to the banks failed between 1997 and
2003. Our principal findings show that, some of privately owned and all
of publicly owned current banks are quite sound in terms of their
financial ratios while some of privately and foreign-owned banks have
significantly poorer performance in terms of the ratios considered.
Besides, our results unexpectedly show that two of previously failed
banks are found to rank in a better position compared to some of
currently operating banks in Turkey.
