Abstract

The Turkish banking system was highly concentrated at the end of the 1990s. Three large state banks represented about 27 percent of total assets, while the five largest private banks accounted for almost 40 percent. The remaining one-third of the system was made up of other private domestic banks (14 percent), intervened banks (12 percent), foreign branches (3 percent), and investment banks (5 percent).
