Turkey

Turkey (Türkiye) is a Eurasian jurisdiction whose official export credit agency is Turk Eximbank, the Export Credit Bank of Türkiye. Bank EF and PF desks use this datasheet for institutional identity, official support pointers, FATF posture and sanctions list orientation.

Turkey jurisdiction identity and official ECA

Turk Eximbank states that it was established in 1987 as Türkiye's official export credit agency and began implementing its programmes at the beginning of 1988. The Bank's published objectives include increasing the volume of exports, diversifying exported goods and services, developing new export markets, increasing exporters' share of international trade, and providing exporters, overseas contractors and investors with competitiveness and assurance in international markets.

The Bank describes three programme families: export credit programmes that provide financing; credit insurance programmes that cover commercial and political risks; and international credit and guarantee programmes aimed at economic relations between Türkiye and other countries. Unlike many peer ECAs that separate credit and insurance entities, Turk Eximbank combines credit, guarantee and insurance products under one roof. The entire capital of the Bank is owned by the Treasury, with a published registered capital ceiling of TRY 120 billion and issued capital of TRY 99.87 billion; those figures describe statutory capital, not a single-transaction limit for lenders.

Berne Union and Arrangement posture

Turk Eximbank is listed in the Berne Union member directory as TURK EXIMBANK. Published programmes include short-term and medium and long term export credit insurance, financing for exporters, export-oriented manufacturers, overseas investors and foreign-currency-earning services, and international loans supporting Turkish exporters and contractors for consumer goods and for capital goods and projects. These are export credit guarantee and buyer credit style official-support tools as framed by the Bank itself.

EXIM has published that the Participants to the OECD Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits include Türkiye, alongside the United States, Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Medium and long term official Turkish support is therefore framed by Arrangement disciplines where those rules apply.

FATF and sanctions list posture

Türkiye is a FATF member. Membership denotes participation in AML and counter-terrorist financing standard setting; evaluation outcomes are published by FATF separately. Turkey does not appear on the FATF increased monitoring or call for action lists as reproduced in HM Treasury's June 2026 Money Laundering Advisory Notice. FATF publications are time-stamped and refresh after plenary meetings.

UN, UK, EU or other financial sanctions programmes can designate Turkish persons or entities. Desk sanctions screening follows the official lists of the regimes that apply to the booking entity and the transaction parties; this datasheet does not inventory designations.

Company and beneficial ownership register notes

Turk Eximbank's corporate disclosure on its About pages includes Turkish trade-registry identifiers for the Bank itself, reflecting that Turkish legal entities carry trade-registry numbers. A nationwide public beneficial ownership register with open UBO extracts is not among the sources cited for this datasheet, and that access posture is recorded as an open item pending citation of the competent registry authority pages. Company identity evidence for Turkish counterparties reads from local registry extracts and counsel-led documentation.
