In terms of their activities, banks generally collect deposits and continue their operations by using the available resources as loans. The return of loans made available for banks is of vital importance. In this case, banks need to evaluate the status of their customers regarding loan returns. The quality of bank assets is seen as important in terms of both risk and income generation. The share of banks' financial assets in their total assets is a ratio showing the asset quality. Due to its effects on the national economy, it is necessary to know the asset quality of banks and to determine the factors that affect the asset quality.
In this study, it is aimed to determine the factors affecting the asset quality of foreign capital deposit banks, by panel data analysis, which have a 22.8% share in terms of total assets. In the study, panel data analysis was carried out using the data for the 11-year period between 2009-2019. In the analysis, the ratio of Financial Assets (Net) / Total Assets is considered as the dependent variable, while the ratio of Total Loans / Total Assets, Total Loans / Total Deposits, Non-performing Loans / Total Loans, Fixed Assets / Total Assets and Consumer Loans / Total Loans is the independent variable. With the panel data analysis applied, the 1% increase in the Total Loans / Total Assets ratio decreased by 0.63% in the Net Financial Assets / Total Assets ratio, and the 1% increase in the Non-Performing Receivables / Total Loans ratio resulted in the Net Financial Assets / Total Assets ratio as %.
