| Abstract |
| The purpose of this study is to reveal the factors affecting the loans the banks use by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). To this end, bank and market-specific variables, which are considered to affect the lending attitudes of depositors and participation banks to SMEs, were analyzed using regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, bank size and deposit interest rate variables were found to have a significant effect on SME loans. On the other hand, the result is that the profitability of the asset does not have a meaningful effect on the loans. |
