Abstract: In this article I investigate whether bank ownership affects the credit channel of monetary policy by looking at the Turkish banking sector from the period 2006 to 2010. I analyze whether public banks, foreign banks, and private banks respond differently to changes in monetary policy by looking at the growth rate of their loan sizes. Controlling for certain bank-specific variables, I find that public banks show the smallest response to changes in monetary policy whereas foreign banks exhibit the largest response.
