The financing, provided through an on-lending arrangement with the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Treasury and Finance, marks the first collaboration between the OPEC Fund and TSKB.

“This milestone partnership with TSKB underscores our commitment to advancing climate action and sustainable development in Türkiye” said OPEC Fund President Abdulhamid Alkhalifa. “By channeling funding into renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate-resilient industries, we aim to support Türkiye’s transition to a low-emission economy and its net zero target by 2053, while fostering inclusive and green economic growth.”

The OPEC Fund has been a longstanding partner to Türkiye since 1976, supporting projects in key sectors including energy, infrastructure, agriculture and health.

“We are delighted to establish our first loan partnership with the OPEC Fund, which will help diversify our sustainable funding sources and support Türkiye’s green transformation” added TSKB CEO Murat Bilgiç. “This secured loan aligns with national climate goals and the 2053 Long-Term Climate Strategy, contributing to sustainable development and climate adaptation efforts. We aim for this resource to finance low-emission and resilient economy projects, bringing significant benefits to our country.”
