In the study, while the ADF (Augmented Dickey-Fuller) unit root test was used to test the stability of the series; The VAR analysis was performed with the effect-response functions, variance decomposition and Granger causality test was applied to determine the causality. According to the causality test results; a one-way causality from the current account deficit to the real effective exchange rate, real interest rates, M2 money supply and credit volume.
