Abstract

In civil law countries where investor protection is regarded as low, ownership and debt maturity structures act as substitute corporate governance mechanisms. This study examines the relationship between ownership structure and creditor monitoring in a bank-based civil law emerging country, where creditor monitoring is considered a significant corporate governance mechanism. The generalised method of moments model is employed to analyse the sample consisting of small and medium enterprises, which have unique ownership characteristics, from the Borsa Istanbul BIST SME Industrials Index for the period 2007-2019. The empirical findings provide evidence that when multiple blockholders exist, the frequent monitoring role of creditors is not sought by the shareholders as a corporate governance mechanism. However, the analysis yields an insignificant relationship between family ownership and creditor monitoring.
