Abstract
Abstract. The globalization movements that started towards the end of the 20th century influenced many areas of the economy. As a result of the globalization, despite the persistence of the political borders, countries have established borderless relationships in the economic arena. On the other hand, along with globalization, financial crises have become more frequent in the world economy. In particular, the fact that the 2008 Global Crisis reached serious dimensions made it necessary to take measures to stabilize the markets and to evaluate the factors that would shake the market and make the market fragile. Financial fragility is a concept that is often concurrently used with the concepts of financial instability and financial crisis. Financial fragility is a hypothesis which was developed by Hyman Minsky and is different from both concepts and also is interactively affected by instability and crises. In this study, unlike other studies with reference to Minsky's financial fragility hypothesis, we aimed to identify the factors that make fragile the financial markets in Turkey. Logit and probit models were studied with the data of 1990:01-2018:05 period. With reference to the study results, the increase in ratios of the volume of bank loans and M2 occur reserves increases the possibility of future crises. Besides, it is found at the end of the study that a decrease in the composite leading indicators index and in M2 in the BIST 100 index will strengthen the probability of a crisis.
