Abstract: We investigate state bank lending behaviour during crisis periods by exploiting the global financial crisis as an exogenous shock, and a high-frequency spatial banking dataset. Using Turkey for the period 2007Q4-2011Q4 as a setting, our results suggest that state banks maintain lending relative to domestic private and foreign banks. Moreover, state banks appear to play a mitigating role in alleviating market failures rather than engaging in politically motivated lending. Overall, our results highlight the importance of state bank lending during periods of financial turmoil.
