Turkey’s outward foreign direct investment in the banking sector, which began with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, has now spread to many European countries. Having laid the foundations of a strong banking structure after the financial crisis of 2001, Turkey has started to set up subsidiaries in many countries with its knowledge and experience. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of foreign subsidiaries of Turkish commercial banks abroad. Data Envelopment Analysis is conducted to assess the effectiveness scores of subsidiaries for the period of 2012-2016. The empirical results indicate that there aren’t any banks that are efficient for all the given years. However, although none of the banks has the efficiency score equal to 1 for all the given years, there is an increasing trend of efficiency for most of the subsidiaries. © Peter Lang GmbH.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBanking sector; Effectiveness analysis; Foreign direct investmentBook Chapter1912042-s2.0-85115148833N/A
