TSKB Deepens Its Impact on Türkiye's Inclusive and Sustainable Development

Leaving behind 75 years of uninterrupted support to Türkiye's multifaceted development journey, TSKB (Industrial Development Bank of Türkiye) came together with the press to share its targets for the upcoming period. TSKB CEO Ozan Uyar, who hosted the meeting where the Bank's strong performance in 2025, the year in which the Bank celebrated its 75th anniversary, and its projections for 2026 were discussed, said: "We closed 2025 with a successful performance that was in line with our goals and positively differentiated in our sector, in parallel with the multifaceted development goals of our country and our sustainability vision. In 2026, we will continue to strengthen our strategy of creating lasting value for Türkiye's inclusive and sustainable development."

TSKB, Türkiye's first privately-owned development and investment bank, held a press conference to share its targets for the upcoming period. During the meeting attended by the economy and finance press, the Bank's financial results for 2025, the support it provides to the Turkish economy, Türkiye Green Fund, social and cultural development projects that provide social benefits through climate finance were discussed.

41% increase in asset size

Commenting on 2025 and the financial results of the bank, TSKB CEO Ozan Uyar said, "We increased our total asset size by 41% to TL 326.7 billion. During the same period, we reached approximately USD 2 billion in long-term cash financing support for Türkiye's sustainable development and increased the size of our loan portfolio to TL 235.9 billion with 11.2% growth on an exchange rate-adjusted basis. As a result of this successful performance, we achieved a strong return on equity of 29.3%."

Record funding of USD 1.8 billion from international markets

Throughout 2025, TSKB broke a record by securing a total of USD 1.8 billion in funding through syndicated loan and bond issues obtained from international markets and financial institutions as well as agreements signed with development finance institutions. TSKB reinforced its strong liquidity with a bond issue of USD 350 million at a 5-year maturity and successfully renewed its syndicated loan with a 120% rollover ratio. Pointing out the importance of the long-term trust relationship maintained with international financial institutions, Ozan Uyar said, "We signed 6 loan agreements with development finance institutions in 2025. We aim to increase the resilience of companies against climate risks with the agreements amounting to EUR 300 million signed with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), a member of the World Bank Group, and EUR 250 million with the KfW Development Bank (KfW). We will also continue to support a wide range of private sector projects from digital infrastructure to inclusiveness and circular economy with our EUR 75 million loan agreement signed with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), our first cooperation with OPEC Fund for EUR 50 million, and the USD 200 million funding from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)."

'Green Recovery' and permanent support in the earthquake zone to continue in 2026

Prioritizing creating social benefit through its inclusive development approach that leaves no one behind, TSKB continues to engage in green recovery activities, which were among its main agenda items after the February 6 earthquakes. Since 2023, the Bank has provided more than USD 600 million of earthquake-themed financing to the region, supporting economic and social recovery in the region, especially through projects supporting women and youth employment. TSKB CEO Ozan Uyar said, "We will continue to give support for our earthquake-affected cities to recover and take development steps based on sustainability criteria in 2026. We will continue to work with determination for social and cultural development beyond our existing loan agreements for the permanent recovery in the earthquake region."

Türkiye Green Fund gives a new impetus to Türkiye's sustainable transformation

TSKB continues to support companies in the process of green transformation through capital investment under the Türkiye Green Fund, the first venture capital investment fund established in Türkiye and across the world with a focus on emissions reduction and inclusive transformation. 

Stating that they made the first investment of the Türkiye Green Fund in July 2025 in Ateş Çelik, one of the leading companies of domestic equipment manufacturing in the field of renewable energy, Uyar said, "Our aim is to accelerate capacity increases by offering capital support to companies manufacturing green transformation and air conditioning technologies. We initially aim to increase our fund size, which currently stands at USD 155 million, to USD 300 million with the participation of new investors in 2026. These investments will continue to rise exponentially in the upcoming period."

Strategic advisory services to 165 projects in 27 cities

Stressing that TSKB has turned into a solution partner for its business partners by reflecting its deep knowledge and technical expertise of more than 75 years to the field through its advisory services, Ozan Uyar said: "In 2025, we provided financial and technical guidance to 165 different projects in a wide geography ranging from Algeria to 27 different cities in Türkiye. While measuring the added value of strategic projects under the protocol we signed with the Ministry of Industry and Technology, we increased our support to the regional economy via the reconstruction works we carried out in 5 provinces in the earthquake zone. In 2026, we will continue to gain new clients through wide range of products and contribute to Türkiye's development goals with our advisory muscle."

Technological transformation with an 'industry and people' perspective in 2026

While technological transformation plays the leading role in the Bank's 2026 strategic agenda with the perspective of 'industry and people', new generation development themes such as artificial intelligence (AI), circular economy and climate adaptation stand out. Stating that, in line with Türkiye's energy transformation and net zero emission targets, they will focus on the green transformation of carbon-intensive sectors and transition financing models that will increase their resilience against climate risks, Ozan Uyar made the following remarks: "As we take firm steps towards our climate finance target of USD 4 billion for 2030, we focus not only on environmental but also on social development. Through our inclusive policies supporting women and youth employment, we will continue to develop macro-development models that address skill development in industry and the new needs brought about by demographic changes."

Support to cultural development through education and arts

Supporting Türkiye's progress in social and cultural areas with a holistic development vision, TSKB continues to organize lasting projects in a wide range of fields from education to arts. While the Bank contributed to the mental development of children in the provinces affected by the February 6 earthquakes by completing the 11 Libraries in 11 Provinces project in less than two years, TSKB continues to focus on social benefit with the 75th Anniversary Kindergarten project, the Female Stars of Tomorrow education support fund, the 75th anniversary special composition and "Sustainability Workshops" for university students. Last but not the least, through the TSKB 75th Anniversary Contemporary Artwork Contest, which was launched to encourage young artists to produce art, TSKB received approximately 600 applications from 60 cities and brought new works to our country with the theme From Roots to the Present: A Future of Art.
