Globally, Eximbanks and Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) play a critical role in promoting countries’ foreign trade, facilitating exporters’ access to finance, and enhancing their international competitiveness. These institutions perform a complementary function by offering export credits, export insurance and guarantees, buyer’s credits, and political and commercial risk coverage, particularly for export transactions to long-term, high-value, and high-risk markets. Acting as a strategic instrument in areas where the commercial banking system alone is insufficient, these structures contribute directly to countries’ sustainable export and growth targets.

As Türkiye’s official export credit agency, Türk Eximbank was established in 1987 to develop the country’s foreign trade volume and support exporters with loans and insurance. The Bank provides short-, medium-, and long-term financing, insurance, and guarantee services to companies that export goods and services and undertake projects abroad. Serving all stakeholders in the export ecosystem with a wide range of products, Türk Eximbank supports Turkish companies in entering new markets and increasing their global competitiveness by minimizing the commercial and political risks arising from exporters’ sales on deferred payment terms.

Türk Eximbank conducts its activities based on the principles of an exporter-oriented approach, sustainability, effective risk management, transparency, efficient resource utilization, and inclusive growth. Acting with an awareness of its public responsibility, the Bank’s primary goal is to develop financing, insurance, and guarantee models that provide lasting added value to the national economy.

Prioritizing access to Eximbank support for all exporters, especially SMEs, the Bank continues to make a strategic contribution to Türkiye’s export-driven economic development with its advantageous products and services. In addition to providing working capital and investment financing, Türk Eximbank protects companies against collection and market risks through receivables insurance and Treasury transactions, playing a significant role in the sustainable growth of Türkiye’s foreign trade with this holistic approach.

Operating from its head office in Istanbul, Türk Eximbank is one of the main institutions supporting Türkiye’s export strategy, with a strong paid-in capital of TL 88.4 billion and a specialized workforce of 883 employees. Aiming to facilitate exporters’ access to financing and secure trade opportunities, Türk Eximbank serves exporters throughout Türkiye through its service network of 24 strategically located branches and 8 liaison offices.

During the 2025 fiscal year, the Bank provided financing, insurance, and guarantees to a total of 18,429 exporters. During this period, a loan volume of USD 26.77 billion was generated to meet the financing needs of exporters, while USD 27.47 billion in receivables insurance and guarantee support was provided to manage the commercial and political risks arising from export transactions. With its strong financial structure and extensive product portfolio, Türk Eximbank continues to make strategic contributions in line with Türkiye’s foreign trade targets.

Strategic Goals and Operational Vision

Türk Eximbank’s main objective is to increase the competitiveness of exporting companies and Turkish contractors operating abroad in international markets, support sustainable export growth, and promote foreign currency-earning activities for the national economy, in line with Türkiye’s export-led growth strategy.

Within this framework, Türk Eximbank meets the short, medium, and long-term financing needs of exporting companies and supports the access of Turkish goods and services to new markets and the increase of their share in existing markets. The Bank secures receivables against commercial and political risks arising from export transactions, while also providing financing for projects undertaken by Turkish contractors abroad and for foreign buyers.

Türk Eximbank develops alternative collateral and financing models to facilitate exporters’ access to finance, prioritizing the promotion of high value-added, technology-oriented exports that are compatible with the green transformation. The Bank contributes to the inclusive expansion of the exporter base, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. In line with its objectives of increasing funding diversification, the Bank carries out activities through credit, insurance, guarantees, and other financing instruments, leveraging collaborations with international financial institutions and export support agencies.

Türk Eximbank aims, through its activities in line with these objectives, to support export financing, maintain the sustainability of the current account balance, promote production and employment, and contribute to the long-term growth potential of the Turkish economy.

In 2024, Türk Eximbank moved to its new service building, which is equipped with the latest technological infrastructure. This enables the Bank to meet the demands of exporters more effectively and with greater agility within the scope of its operations.
