| Course Objectives | Even though Letter of Guarantee were initially referred in the Turkish law by a cabinet decision in 1927 and subsequently experienced in the economic life, there is still not a specific legislation about Letter of Guarantee in Turkey. However, the first international standard was issued in 1990s. Problems stemming from letters of credit, whose application is based on general laws and established practices, can cause inefficiency in risk management, balance sheet deterioration, liquidity shortages that result in bankruptcies, reputation and systemic risks which are as important as other bank risks because of their damage to confidence in banks. Due to these reasons, the aim of this course is to reach advanced level of knowledge about the Letter of Guarantee which is frequently encountered in practice. |
