Abstract: Concentration indices are usually used for calculating competition levels and assessing market entry-exit conditions in various industries. Likewise in this study we aim to reveal the market concentration levels in Turkish Banking Sector for post and pre 2001 crisis periods by using concentration indices. Also to be able to make pre and post crisis comparisons t-tests are conducted. It was found that there are significant differences in market concentration levels when pre and post 2001 crisis comparisons are made. Moreover as consistent with our expectations both in terms of assets, deposits, revenues, loans, equity capital, branch and employee numbers an increase in market concentration ratios for post-2001 crisis period is observed.
