Description of Company and Purpose of Project

This project involves a US$30 million IFC credit program to be channeled through five Turkish leasing companies; the proceeds would fund medium-term leasing of productive equipment by Turkish enterprises, particularly those in the small and medium scale sector. The proposed project includes leasing companies across the market spectrum, from start-up to relatively mature. Each of these companies has in common strong shareholders (all are majority owned or controlled by reputable banks), strong management, good growth prospects and good financial performance. Each company also has a sound portfolio, with little or no bad debt. The project would be integral to IFC’s ongoing efforts to support Turkey’s growing leasing industry, through technical assistance, institution building, and funding.

Environmental Category and Issues

This is a category FI project according to IFC’s environmental review procedure. For relevant operations, each leasing company will be required to implement an environmental risk management system. In addition, IFC will assess each company’s capability to conduct environmental reviews.
