Expectations and Strategic Priorities for 2026

As Türkiye’s official export credit agency, Türk Eximbank conducts its operations in line with Türkiye’s export-led growth strategies. In 2026, the Bank’s primary objectives include enabling exporters to benefit from loan and insurance programs, enhancing the quality and sustainability of exports, and contributing to the foreign trade balance.

The determination of strategic priorities takes into account our country’s economic programs and policies, the targets and measures within these programs, and the practices of international export credit agencies. In this context, increasing support for value-added exports and SME exporters, and expanding support for strategic sectors and investments, will emerge as the main guiding principles for 2026 to enhance the impact of the Bank’s support for Türkiye’s exports.

Strategic Priorities

Following assessments based on requests from stakeholders and exporters, as well as international trends, Türk Eximbank’s strategic priorities for 2026 have been identified as follows:

• Improving effectiveness in buyer’s credits and international project financing,
• Increasing the share of investment loans in Eximbank’s support programs,
• Supporting investments aimed at ensuring supply chain continuity,
• Providing more effective support to high value-added and high-tech exporters,
• Offering customized financial solutions for new export methods, such as e-exports, and for service exports,
• Becoming more effective in foreign trade, insurance, and participation finance operations.

Digitalization and Operational Transformation

Türk Eximbank considers digitalization and artificial intelligence applications as fundamental components of its transformation. In this context, the goals are to support decision-making processes with data-driven models, increase operational efficiency, and strengthen risk management processes. Additionally, maintaining a strong governance structure in cybersecurity and regulatory compliance is among the priorities.

Sustainability Approach

Türk Eximbank aims to contribute to the compliance process of exporters within the scope of the European Green Deal and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will enter its implementation phase in 2026. Accordingly, the Bank addresses sustainability within the framework of national and international standards and current legislation.

In 2025, approximately USD 2 billion in sustainability-related funding was secured. These resources were used to finance renewable energy, energy and water efficiency investments, green investments, and the reconstruction investments of exporters in the earthquake zone. In line with this approach, the goal is to continue efforts to finance sustainability-focused investments in 2026.

The Bank’s sustainability-focused data and reporting infrastructure is being developed in line with the communiqués on Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) and Green Asset Ratio Calculation. Furthermore, the aim is to monitor and develop the portfolio structure within the framework of sustainability criteria in line with the Türkiye Green Taxonomy, which is expected to come into force in the upcoming period.

Promoting Participation Finance Products

Access to financing will be broadened by adding new products to the participation finance product range, with a focus on acquiring corporate clients in this area.

Vision of Becoming the Main Bank for Our Exporters in Foreign Trade Transactions

To become the primary solution partner for our exporters, we will increase the volume of foreign trade transactions for which infrastructure work has been completed.

• Prioritizing medium- and long-term financing, as well as insurance and guarantee activities,
