This study is investigated the relationship between real exchange rate and private sector external debt during the period 2002-2018 in Turkey. Auxiliary variables included in the model are LIBOR, domestic interest rates and real GDP. Application methods of the study are Delayed Distributed Autoregressive Model (ARDL) and Error Correction Model (ECM). Results of the study shows that, respectively domestic interest rate, LIBOR and exchange rate effective variables on the private sector external borrowing in the long term.
