Abstract

Corporate cash holding behavior is important to understand firms in terms of management and decision-making, and the finance literature provides diverse views on the determinants of corporate cash holdings. In this study, we examine the cash holding decision from a macroeconomic perspective and investigate whether monetary policy affects firms’ cash holding decisions. Our analysis based on Turkish listed non-financial firms suggests that monetary policy has no effect on corporate cash holdings, contrary to recent empirical evidence. In this regard, the results infer that the relationship between monetary policy and cash holding decisions established before in the literature could not be generalizable.
