The report is available in two languages: English and Turkish.

Highlights for Q1 2025

  • The banking sector structure remained unchanged in 1Q2025, both in terms of ownership and licenses types and market share.
  • The key rate decreased a couple of times in the 1Q2025 with the overall decrease from 47.5% to 42.5%, consecutively loan rates and deposit rates started to decrease with overall stable NIM.
  • Loan portfolio grew mainly in the corporate segment supported with credit cards and consumer loans.
  • Deposit maturity structure worsened in the 1Q2025 and continued its shift towards short-term deposits.
  • The latter three highlights together potentially mean, that the short-term deposits amid falling rates has disproportionately benefited banks, driving higher earnings despite the changing rate environment.
