The recent crisis has indicated that rapid loan growth might be a source of systemic risk. Credit
risk cannot be properly managed under a rapid credit growth regime, which might cause a
problem. Generally, credit growth of OIC countries seems to be under control except Turkey
with some high growth episodes. However, Turkish central bank together with Banking
Supervisory Authority (BRSA) has implemented macro prudential policies to slow down the
credit growth.
