ABank Annual Review 2009 NTRODUCTION A Brief History ABank was established in 1991 and became a listed company in 1995, when it offered 20% of its shares to the public. The following year, the Anadolu Group, one of Turkey's leading conglomerates, purchased 80% of ABank’s shares from the Do¤an Group. Today, the Anadolu Group owns 96% of ABank’s shares, with the remaining 4% publicly traded on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). ABank is a medium-sized Turkish bank that predominately serves medium-sized companies through a network of 46 branches throughout Turkey, as of year-end 2009. This network places ABank in a strong position to cater to the major industrial and commercial regions of Turkey, where 75% of the country’s GNP is generated. With its dynamic structure, efficiency, customized services, product range, and strong, sustained growth, ABank has established itself as a reputable name in Turkey’s growing banking sector. Strategy ABank provides commercial/corporate banking services and products, with a special focus on the growing segment of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. The Bank excels in designing customized solutions that mesh efficiency, strength, and flexibility, and it maintains close relations with its growing customer base. ABank’s highly efficient branch network has a proven track record of effectiveness and sustained profitability, and it is a key component of the Bank’s operating strategy. ABank closely monitors its branches and the related business units, constantly looking to improve efficiency and profitability - the cornerstones of the Bank’s business philosophy. In the wake of the recent global financial crisis, ABank has placed utmost importance on preserving its asset quality while simultaneously maintaining support for its core customers. ABank has recently made a strategic decision to re-enter Retail Banking, offering selective retail products and targeting the “mass affluent” customer segment with tailor-made products. The Retail Banking organization has been set up for both Head Office and branch operations. Service and Product Range ABank values the close relations it enjoys with its customers, to whom it offers a complete range of services, including commercial/corporate banking, treasury, and investment banking. The Bank’s main product ranges cover trade finance instruments, working capital finance, cash management, and portfolio management. ABank’s subsidiary, AYat›r›m, and ALease, an Anadolu Group company, provide financial leasing, brokerage services, and investment banking. The marketing synergy between ABank and these two financial institutions have created a remarkable competitive advantage; AYat›r›m’s strong customer portfolio and ALease’s ability to offer long-term contract-based leases give ABank’s customers a solid source of financial support. ABank conducts its banking operations at global standards, offering banking services that stress discipline, flexibility, and customer-awareness. These qualities are supported by the Bank’s high-tech infrastructure, strong capital base, sophisticated risk management, operating efficiency, and, most importantly, its talented and dynamic staff. 3 ABank Annual Review 2009 INANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (USD million) 2006 2007 2008 2009 % Change Total Assets 1,416 2,248 2,483 2,419 -2.6 Total Loans (cash + non cash) 1,624 2,541 2,397 2,844 18.7 Cash Loans (after provisioning) 956 1,600 1,574 1,800 14.3 Non Cash Loans 668 941 823 1,045 27.0 Customer Deposits 793 1,457 1,753 1,657 -5.5 Total Securities 90 124 196 355 90.9 Total Equity 138 296 265 307 15.8 Net Income 27 65 35 43 20.1 Funds Borrowed 397 298 353 264 -25.2 Number of Branches 29 40 46 46 Total Assets Total Loans (cash + non cash) 2,844 (USD Million) (USD Million) 2,483 2,541 2,419 2,248 2,397 1,624 1,416 20062007 2008 2009 20062007 2008 2009 Customer Deposits (USD Million) 1,753 1,657 1,457 793 20062007 2008 2009 4 ABank Annual Review 2009 Total Equity Net Income (USD Million) 307 (USD Million) 296 265 65 43 138 35 27 2006 2007 2008 2009 2006 2007 2008 2009 Cost / Income Capital adequacy ratio (%) (%) 58 58 14.91 14.21 54 13.05 49 12.94 2006 2007 2008 2009 2006 2007 2008 2009 Return on equity (%) 30.7 24.9 15.6 16.0 2006 2007 2008 2009 Number of branches Number of employees 1006 999 46 46 868 40 680 29 626 607 537 459 380 392 331 221 2006 2007 2008 2009 2006 2007 2008 2009 Head office Branches Total Ratings From Fitch Foreign Currency Turkish Lira Long -Term Short Term Individual Support Long Term Short Term National BB B D 3 BB B AA (tur) (stable outlook) (stable outlook) (stable outlook) 5 ABank Annual Review 2009 USINESS HIGHLIGHTS Strong Results ABank had another successful year in 2009. Net profit was an impressive USD 43 million, reflecting the successful completion and implementation of the right strategies during the course of the year. These positive results have been clearly reflected on the Bank’s balance sheet. As of year-end 2009, total consolidated assets had reached USD 2.419 billion, and total equity USD 307 million. ROE and ROA stood at 16,0% and 1.7%, respectively. ABank increased its cash loans by 14% and non-cash loans by 27% over 2008 year-end figures. Total cash loans in 2009 were USD 1,880 million and non-cash loans USD 1,045 million. The capital adequacy ratio as of the year-end 2009 was at a comfortable level of 13,0%. The Bank’s operational efficiency is reflected in its cost-to-income ratio, which stood at 58% as of year-end 2009. Prudent Risk Management ABank is very cautious in its management of credit and market risk; loan exposure in general does not exceed 15% in any sector, which protects the Bank from market fluctuations and turmoils. ABank’s sophisticated credit risk management systems provide the Bank with sound knowledge of its customers’ financial requirements and allow it to deliver diverse products to an expanding portfolio without deviating from the principles of risk prudence. SMEs account for 70% of ABank’s active commercial/corporate customers, representing a risk exposure of approximately 44%. Special attention is given to asset quality at all times, as the Bank maintains prudently conservative risk policies. Close monitoring of sectoral and individual company risks through sophisticated analysis methodology has led to a high quality asset portfolio. In spite of loan growth and the unfavorable market conditions, ABank’s non-performing loan ratio remained at 6.77% in 2009. Considering the dominance of the SME customers in our loan portfolio and the Turkish banking sector’s SME default rate of more than 8.5%, ABank’s NPL ratio could be considered a modest level. Core Banking Philosophy ABank’s business model aims at long-term profitability and growth through commercial/corporate banking services. As such, ABank places particular emphasis on serving Turkey’s vibrant and rapidly growing SME segment. In this capacity, ABank has taken up a strong and valuable position in Turkey’s banking sector. New Products and Services ABank has always given high priority to upgrading and investing in technological infrastructure and developing new and sophisticated banking products and solutions. ABank has supported its demand deposit and loan volume by placing itself at the center of its customers’ cash flow. Created under ABank’s Electronic Revenue Management umbrella structure, the Direct Debit System (DDS) projects are tailor-made and mesh seamlessly with the infrastructure and needs of the customers. These projects have once again highlighted ABank’s dynamic and hassle-free style. Accepting challenges and designing tailor-made solutions are equally important parts of the Bank’s activities on a broader level. 6 ABank Annual Review 2009 Efficient Branch Network ABank has become one of Turkey’s most active banks in lending volume per branch. Branch expansion plans are assessed against concrete efficiency measures, such as branch profitability and cost-to-income and cost-to-asset ratios. To this end, ABank conducts thorough demographic feasibility work aimed at optimizing its domestic customer reach. ABank follows quantitative and systematic studies to identify the most favorable geographic areas in which to expand its branch network and extend this reach. The method for these studies relies on scoring and fieldwork practices applied on a provincial basis. ABank had a network of 46 branches as of year-end 2009, spread across the major industrial regions of Turkey. The Bank is well-positioned to serve Turkey's most important commercial and densely-populated regions, where 75% of the country’s GNP is generated. Strong Shareholders ABank’s principal shareholder is the Anadolu Group, one of Turkey’s largest and most respected industrial conglomerates. The Group is engaged in a wide range of businesses, from beverages to automotive and stationery, financial services, energy, tourism, consumer durables, IT, and healthcare services in both domestic and international markets, making it a central feature of the Turkish business landscape.

Emerging Financing Tools for Renewable Energy Investments. Turk J Electr Power Energy Syst, 2021; 1(1): 33-41. ABSTRACT Renewable energy sources (RES) are one of the important sources that can be used for transition to a sustainable low carbon economy. With increasing use of RES, significant contribution can be made to the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping global warming below 2 °C. In recent years, the increase in RES investments has revealed different financing options. Crowdfunding, green bonds, and green loans financing tools are becoming increasingly popular tools for financing RES investments. By using these financial tools, financing opportunities of RES investments have been diversified. In recent years, these financing tools are also being increasingly used in Turkey. To increase the use of crowdfunding in RES investments, dedicated crowdfunding platforms should be established. An important issue in green bonds is external opinion; therefore, introducing a legal obligation will increase investors’ interest in green bonds and their trust in the bond issuer. In addition to the existing opportunities in green loans, tax incentives can be provided to contribute to RES investments. Keywords: Renewable energy, renewable energy finance, crowdfunding, green bond, green loan Introduction RES sources within the installed power plants has been increas- Owing to the dominant role of fossil fuels in meeting global ener- ing.

  • Increasing Foreign Banks' Presence Through M&As: the Case of Turkey
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on BUSINESS and ECONOMICS Eda Orhun Increasing Foreign Banks’ Presence through M&As: The Case of Turkey EDA ORHUN College of Business Zayed University Khalifa City B, Abu Dhabi, P.O. Box 144534 UAE [email protected] Abstract— Turkey had been a closed economy until the beginning of 1980s. However, this changed once the government adopted liberalization and de-regulation programs at that time. Decreasing entry barriers and approved foreign ownership in the banking sector naturally triggered more foreign bank entry in the coming years. This trend got changed in nature especially after the currency crisis of 2001. Recovering from the crisis stronger with a growing economy, Turkish banking sector with its technologically advanced banks evoked the appetite of foreign counterparts that mostly chose the entry method of M&As. This created the empirical fact that while the number of foreign banks have been increasing, the number of (local) private banks have been decreasing due to these acquisitions in the decade of 2000s. This paper presents data for the mentioned result together with the review of Turkish banking sector starting from 1980s. The paper also examines the major deals that were realized in the last decade and tries to understand the reasons of increased foreign bank presence by outlining the ‘pull factors’ of the Turkish economy. Key-Words: acquisitions, de-regulation, foreign bank entry, globalization, pull factors. 1 Introduction 2 Evolution of the Banking Sector: When the topic comes to foreign banks expansion into emerging markets, there has been a significant 1980-2000s Accordingly, in the 1980s the policymakers started trend towards the Central and Eastern European to re-structure and liberalize the Turkish banking (CEE) markets ever since the beginning of the Cold system.

Bu çalışmada ekonomik ve finansal alanda aktif rol oynayan Türk bankacılık sektörünün kamu, özel ve yabancı sermayeli mevduat bankalarının pandemi döneminde yaşadığı sıkıntıların finansal tablolarına nasıl yansıdığı incelemeye alınmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde sektörün karlılık, net faiz marjı, kredi/mevduat, likidite oranları ile nakit akış tab- loları aracılığıyla faaliyet gelirleri analiz edilmiştir. Pandemi öncesine göre; azalan karlılık, bankacılık esas faaliyetlerinde gerileme ve likidite tutma eğilimleri tespit edilmiştir. Diğer taraftan piyasalarda yaşanan ve yaşanması beklenen olumsuz ekonomik durumların iyileştirilmesi amacıyla bankacılık sektörünün aktif rol oynaması adına yapılan yasal düzenlemeler ve bu düzenlemelerin finansal tablo- lara nasıl yansıdığı incelenmiştir. Buna göre mevduat bankalarının; pandeminin olumsuz etkilerine karşı hane halkı ve reel kesime kredi vermesi, kredi takip vadelerinin uzatılması, yabancı paranın piya- salar üzerindeki etkisini azaltmak amacıyla devlet borçlanma senetlerine yönelmesi ve swap işlemleri yapması şeklinde özetlenebilir.

This can be attributed either to more global knowledge or more professional tactics in banking transactions. On the other hand, to be familiar with its soci- ety’s culture can be an opportunity for domestic banks. In this study, Turkish banks have been evaluated using finan- cial ratios taking into consideration domestic and foreign ownership. The banks have also been ranked according to performance. To achieve this, the principal components analysis and discriminant analysis have been applied.

Prof. Dr. Nilgün KAYALI Manisa Celal Bayar University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Science Department of Business Administration Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arıkan Tarık SAYGILI Izmir Economy University Faculty of Business Administration, Department of Business Administration Asst. Prof. Dr. Mert SOYSAL Manisa Celal Bayar University Saruhanlı Vocational School Department of Business Administration Prof. Dr. Cevdet Alptekin KAYALI Izmir Democracy University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Science Department of Business Administration Abstract In this study, impact of being listed in corporate governance index on financial performance of deposit, investment, development and participation banks listed in Borsa Istanbul (BIST) Corporate Governance Index (XKURY), is analyzed. Due to this aim, financial data of 16 banks of which securities are actively traded in Borsa Istanbul for the years 2009 through 2014 are analyzed through panel data analysis. Seven of these banks are also listed in BIST Corporate Governance Index. The year 2009 is chosen as the beginning year in this analysis in order to evaluate the current financial performance as accurately as possible by ignoring financial performance of banks prior to financial crisis of 2008, since this data is redundant for evaluation planned to be conducted. In this analysis, it is found out that: a) being in corporate governance index has no significant impact on market value of banks; b) there is a significant statistical correlation between market value and Return on Assets (ROA) and amount of loans granted; c) there is a negative statistical correlation between market value and deposit size and d) there is no meaningful statistical relationship between market value and neither equity size and being listed in corporate governance index.
