FINANCIAL STRUCTURE EVALUATION OF THE TURKISH CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY VIA BALANCE SHEETS
Abstract :
Investigating financial structures of industries like textile, food and automotive have drawn interest and ratios for benchmarking have been set via balance sheets for these industries. However, there are not enough studies in this area for the construction industry due to its heterogenic structure. In this study, financial structure of the Turkish construction industry is evaluated via balance sheets of the construction companies. A total of 8844 balance sheets published by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey for the years between 2001 and 2011 have been evaluated. Due tothe varyingcharactersof the subsectors in the construction industry, assessment has been done mainly based on the registered companies which are in the procurement works.
