The Turkish financial sector proved resilient during the global financial turmoil in 2009 as well as the ensuing economic crisis thanks to the regulatory reforms and structural overhaul that the government implemented in the wake of the country’s own financial meltdown in the early 2000’s. In fact, the reforms in the sector boosted investor confidence so much that financial services has become the preferred sector for FDI, attracting over USD 48 billion during the past 14 years.

Banking dominates the Turkish financial sector, accounting for over 70 percent of overall financial services, while insurance services and other financial activities also show significant growth potential. Turkey’s banking sector is comprised of 34 deposit banks, 13 development and investment banks, and 5 participation banks, with 21 of them holding significant foreign capital.

An expanding loan base and favorable liquidity conditions contribute to the healthy growth of Turkey’s financial services. The sector enjoys a leading position in the world with an ever-growing asset size and strong equity structure protecting it against shocks that may arise from loans or turbulent market conditions.

The Turkish insurance market is still underpenetrated (1.4% of GDP) compared to peer countries and will provide significant potential as new insurers set up shop and acquire a share of the relatively untapped Turkish market. Turkey has seen strong economic growth fueled in part by a young and dynamic population that is increasingly in need of financial products and services.

Executive Summary

A key driver of the Turkish financial sector has been its robust economy with a bright future. Over the past 13 years, Turkish economy has been growing with an average annual real GDP growth rate of approximately 5 per cent and the growth momentum is expected to continue. Turkey’s sizeable and diversified economy has achieved remarkable growth and became 17th largest economy in the world as of 2014. (GDP; PPP)

Turkey’s economic growth has resulted in income growth and a growing robust middle class with increasing purchasing power.

As Turkish economy has expanded, it has integrated with the global economy with a staggering increase in its volume of international transactions. Such developments have further stimulated economic activity, thus expanded financial activities.

Turkey has also set specific economic targets to achieve by 2023, the centennial of the Republic. One of these targets is to transform Istanbul into a prominent financial center. Turkey’s large and young population, qualified labor force and rapidly developing markets along with its geo-strategic location makes Istanbul an ideal candidate for a international financial hub. Since, the government launched the project for Istanbul Financial Center, Istanbul has rapidly made progress and is now considering among emerging financial centers in the world.

“The Turkish banking industry is highly developed and competitive, in our segment in particular. Returns are important but for us the importance is mainly in its growth potential, the strategic location and export potential"

Sipko Schat Executive board member responsible, Commercial banking, Rabobank. Rabobank obtained banking license from Turkish authorities in 2013 with an initial capital investment of $300 million.

Oliver Bäte, Member of the board of management of Allianz SE. Allianz acquired 94% of YapıKredi Sigorta’s shares for USD 880 million and 80% of YapıKredi Bank’s pension business, YapıKredi Emeklilik, in March 2013.

“Turkey is one of the fastest growing insurance markets worldwide, supported by a robust economic outlook and a large, young population. The transaction with Yapı Kredi is a unique opportunity to move into a market-leading position in one of Europe’s key growth markets which is also an important bridge between Europe and Middle East/Central Asia. This transaction fits perfectly into Allianz’s strategy to use bolt-on acquisitions to strengthen its position in growth markets.”

Participation bank numbers in Turkey increased to five when Asya Katılım Bank, Kuveyt Türk Katılım Bank and Ziraat started their operations.

• Since July 2012, Turkey has begun fully implementing Basel II standard of credit risk assessment.

• The technical requirements for Basel III are also significant. The Basel III accords aim to strengthen the capital base of the banking sector, enhance risk coverage, introduce an overall leverage ratio and global liquidity risk standards and deal with procyclicality.

• The new total capital ratio is set at 10.5% consisting of 4.5% for common equity and 6% for Tier 1 capital for Basel III.

• After Basel III, banks will maintain cash-like assets in the short term to adjust their liquidity ratios. Furthermore, Basel III requires that banks report their liquidity metrics on a daily basis.

17

Turkey is fully committed to Basel III standards…

• The Turkish banking sector has capital adequacy ratios (CAR) above the regulator limits of BRSA, which was 12%. Moreover, Turkey’s CAR exceeds that of Basel II, which was 8% and Basel III, which will gradually increase each year and will be set at a total capital ratio of 10.5% by January 2019.

• Savings banks in Turkey had a CAR level of 14.9%, while participation banks and development and investment banks had 14.1% and 31.3% capital adequacy ratios, respectively.

• Despite the global economic crisis and the Eurozone crisis, the high capital adequacy ratio of Turkish banks allowed them to achieve strong financial statements. Hence, Turkish banks were only slightly effected by both crises. Moreover, Turkish banks are already prepared to meet the new capital requirements of Basel III.

• The Basel Consensus has a place in the EU legal acquis under the scope of financial services. The EU aims to create compliance of the Basel Consensus with the Capital Adequacy IV (CRD-IV) package. The abovementioned package was put into force on 1 January 2014 and consists of 2013/36/EU Directive and (EU) 575/2013 legislation. Turkey is in accordance with the EU regarding the calendar for the implementation of the aforementioned standards.
