Zusammenfassung:This chapter attempts to quantify the effect of exchange rate on the value of nonfinancial firms listed on Borsa Istanbul. In the first part of the analysis, the regression results using firm-level data show that currency fluctuations tend to influence the stock returns of 44 firms out of 177 firms in the sample in a significant way with negative average foreign exchange (FX) sensitivity coefficient. The sectoral-level analysis indicates that sectors with net FX short position are also subject to higher FX sensitivity with respect to firm value. In the second part, firm-level determinants of FX sensitivity are investigated using quantile regression method. The estimation results indicate that the market value of firms with net FX position surplus tends to respond positively to the depreciation of Turkish lira against the US dollar across all quantiles. It is also observed that the degree of internationalization, firm size, profitability, and growth opportunities are significant determinants of stock market pricing of FX risk.
