Project Description
Investment of TRY 3,915,283,500 (USD 100 million) in a privately placed mortgage covered bond issuance by Akbank T.A.S. The proceeds of the financing will be used under the Türkiye Green Economy Financing Facility II ("GEFF II" or the "Framework", BSD21-156-ADD (12)).
Project Objectives

The loans will be supported by Technical Cooperation (TC), as envisaged under GEFF II. The project is determined aligned with the Paris Agreement based on the application of the EBRD's Paris alignment approach for indirectly financed investments.
Transition Impact
ETI score: 70
