The data of the companies determined for the research between 2016-2019 were collected. In the research, the effect of foreign partnership shares, and the ratios of foreign members in the boards of directors on firms' cost of debt have been examined. According to the obtained results, a negative relationship is detected between the companies’ foreign ownership share and the cost of debt. In addition, a negative relationship was found between the ratio of foreign board members and the cost of debt of companies too. Accordingly, the increase in the foreign ownership share or the ratio of foreign board members of the companies decreases the cost of debt.
