International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)

Since its establishment with the support of the World Bank in 1950, TSKB has been closely cooperating with World Bank (IBRD) in order to finance the projects in various sectors, which provide added value to Turkish economy. Through this cooperation, TSKB not only extends direct loans to private sector enterprises but also supports SMEs and exporters with the loans to the financial sector through leasing and factoring companies, commercial banks and participation banks within the scope of wholesale banking (APEX Banking) activities.

In collaboration with the World Bank, sector-leading and innovative projects are being implemented. In this context, the Türkiye Green Fund, which is the first venture capital investment fund in Türkiye and globally to be established through credit financing with a focus on emissions reduction and an inclusive transition, was established in 2024 under the Türkiye Green Finance Project. In addition to “Türkiye Accelerating the Market Transition for Distributed Energy Project” signed in 2024, under the Results-Based Program (PforR) to be implemented for the first time in Türkiye with the aim of supporting distributed solar investments and battery-based electricity storage systems for electricity generation intended to meet the private sector’s internal consumption needs, TSKB signed the “Financing Adaptation for Growth Project” with International Financial Institutions under IBRD Partial Credit Guarante Transaction in 2025. It is aimed to contribute in an innovative way to the development of climate resilience nationwide, to help companies become more competitive and more resilient to climate risks, to raise awareness on this issue, and to strengthen Türkiye’s overall adaptation capacity.
