Türk Lirasi (TRY) artışı: En büyük nedenini bulması

The exchange rate has always been of much debate and focus, owing to the fact it's paramount importance and the role it plays in the lives of the people and economy of a country as a whole. Hence, the thesis deemed it necessary to examine and find the biggest factor or factors that affected the rate of exchange in Turkey. In the thesis collected monthly observations of the data after the revaluation of 2005 until the very end of 2020. Furthermore, using correlation matrices, cointegration analysis (ARDL) which indicated both short-run and long-run relationship, and the Toda and Yamamoto's (1995) which is a modified version of the Granger causality test found that the Turkish Lira (TRY) is affected by three different variables (interest rates, trade, and the inflation rate). The result of this thesis has indicated a strong bidirectional causality between the rate of exchange and inflation and a medium bidirectional causality between the rate of exchange and interest rate and unidirectional causality from the balance of trade to the rate of exchange.
