How Islamic finance is organised

Participation banks are licensed and supervised by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency alongside deposit banks.

Why this case matters

Turkey supplies a large, diversified production setting in which participation banking can be compared with broader credit and investment cycles.

Central tension

Institutional naming and contract form do not insulate banks from inflation, exchange-rate and financing conditions.

What cannot be inferred

The near-59 growth value is withheld: it is not supported by the 2000–2022 research workbooks, whose `growthcapital` series ends in 2019.

Descriptive comparison

Financing directed towards FIRE-related activities

Country-year medians by bank type. Each point reports its covered-bank count.

FIRE ordinarily refers to finance, insurance and real estate. Here the measure is broader: it captures bank financing reported for financial institutions, insurance, real estate and consumer-durable activities. It is used as a proxy for firm-level financialisation. The measure does not imply that every underlying financing claim is speculative, harmful or unproductive. It is a sectoral-allocation proxy and a level measure that is sensitive to bank size.
