Project Description
The proposed project consists of a subordinated loan of $50 million to Turkiye Sinai Kalkinma Bankasi (TSKB or the company), Turkey’s largest term-lending institution. Founded in 1950 with assistance from the World Bank, TSKB has played an active role in Turkey’s economic development and has provided medium term loans to more than 3,500 projects. It has also invested in the equity of more than 100 companies. The purpose of this investment is to strengthen TSKB’s tier II capital and thereby enable it to expand its balance sheet. TSKB is the borrower of choice for multi-lateral credit lines and therefore, this project will enable TSKB to enhance availability of medium term funding for capital investment by Turkish private sector companies.
