İşbank 2022 Integrated Annual Report  15

İşbank from 
1924 to Today

1920s-1930s

İşbank, the first national bank of the 
Republican era, was established 
on August 26, 1924, in line with the 
decisions taken at the Izmir First 
Economics Congress with Atatürk's 
directives.

Beginning to expand into a country-
wide branch network upon its 
foundation, İşbank was the first 
Turkish bank to establish branches 
abroad, with the first international 
branches opened in Hamburg, 
Germany and Alexandria, Egypt in 
1932.

1950s

The Bank developed its portfolio 
of subsidiaries. As the Bank's 
subsidiaries became the driving 
force of Turkish industry, the Bank 
invested in and financed a number 
of industries, with a focus on 
manufacturing.

1980s

In the 1980s, İşbank increased 
the number of its overseas 
branches. At İşbank, the 1980s 
were characterized by the growing 
importance of multichannel banking, 
and the Bank started offering an 
even broader range of products to its 
customers. 

In 1982, İşbank introduced the 
first ATMs to Türkiye, and its ATMs 
named "Bankamatik" became a 
brand.

1960s-1970s

In the 1960s and 1970s, İşbank 
focused on extending its branch 
network.

1990s

İşbank further solidified its 
position as the sector's pioneer in 
alternative distribution channels 
when it launched "Mavi Hat (Blue 
Line)" in 1991 and the first online 
banking branch in 1997.

2010s

Initiating the customer-centered Digital 
Transformation Program with the vision of 
becoming "Türkiye's Best Digital Bank", İşbank 
founded MaxiTech, its subsidiary, in Silicon 
Valley, the USA in 2016 to support digital 
transformation.

İşbank advanced one step further in the 
innovation universe with the opening of the 
Shanghai Innovation Center. 

With TekCep service, Türkiye's first open 
banking app, the Bank offered an opportunity 
to track account activity at different banks via 
İşCep.

The "Workup by İşbank" Entrepreneurship 
Program was initiated in order to support high 
potential and technology-focused initiatives 
(Startups). By committing to invest in the Maxis 
Innovative Venture Capital Fund established within 
the İşbank Group, the Bank started to invest in 
technology-focused startup ventures.  In addition, 
the "Innovation Committee" was established at 
İşbank in order to extend the innovation culture and 
ensure the continuation of innovation processes.

In 2018, İşbank continued to consolidate its 
leadership in digital banking by integrating the 
personal assistant application Maxi into the 
service platform, which quickly achieved a record 
number of customer contacts.

2000s

Maintaining strong and stable growth, 
İşbank relocated the Bank's headquarters 
from Ankara to Istanbul in 2000.

In 2006, İşbank initiated the Customer-
Oriented Transformation Project and 
aimed at restructuring a customer-
focused approach in line with its strategic 
goals. As a result, the Bank successfully 
completed many projects, which was 
referred to as a structural revolution.

In light of rapid advances in technology, 
İşbank continued to improve the 
innovative multichannel banking network, 
allowing customers to utilize the most 
suitable channel to perform all banking 
transactions conveniently, quickly and 
reliably on a 24/7 basis.

İşbank joined the United Nations Net-Zero 
Banking Alliance (NZBA) and committed 
internationally to increase its support for 
the transition to a carbon neutral economy.

In line with its vision of being the bank 
of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs, 
the Bank launched entrepreneurship 
branches, the first startup-focused 
branch service model in Türkiye. 

İşbank played an active role in the 
establishment of the Arya Venture 
Capital Fund, which aims to invest in 
gender-balanced startups and the 
FounderOne Venture Capital Fund, which 
aims to invest in startup impact initiatives 
and joined the Funds by making an 
investment commitment. 

Nays, a mobile finance application that 
enables users to perform their daily 
financial transactions with an easy and 
enjoyable experience and constantly 
rewards them, was launched. 

2020s

In this extraordinary period under 
COVID-19 pandemic conditions, İşbank 
demonstrated its support to households 
and companies through special product 
and service applications.

The Bank maintained funding from 
international markets and further 
increased its support to the Turkish 
economy. Agriculture-focused activities 
gained momentum.

Message from the 
Chairperson

Esteemed Stakeholders,

We started 2023 with great sorrow due to the 
earthquakes that shook our country deeply. As a 
nation, we feel the deep pain of losing our citizens 
in the successive disasters that affected a vast area. 
Unfortunately, our six colleagues working in branches 
in the region lost their lives in this tragic disaster. In 
this period when our greatest wish is to quickly heal 
our wounds, we, as the İşbank Group, have utilized our 
means and unveiled a strong aid package to provide 
comprehensive assistance to all those impacted by the 
disasters.. I would like to take this opportunity to once 
again share my wishes for the recovery of our country, 
wish Allah's mercy on our citizens who lost their lives, and 
express my condolences to their relatives and our nation. 

In 2022, the risks and uncertainties caused by the 
Russia-Ukraine war on the world economy, especially 
on European countries, were at the top of the agenda. 
While the disruptions in supply chains for basic needs 
such as energy and food due to the war increased global 
inflationary pressures, major central banks took steps to 
tighten their monetary policies faster than expected to 
combat inflation. These steps led to a loss of momentum 
in economic activity in the last months of the year, causing 
global recession concerns to be expressed. In addition, 
as the global risk appetite decreased in 2022, portfolio 
investments in emerging economies followed a fluctuating 
course during the year. 

In 2022, Turkish economy grew by 5.6% on an annual 
basis with the strong contribution of consumption 
expenditures and moderate contributions of exports 
and investments. On the other hand, the rise in global 
commodity prices, particularly energy, caused the current 
account deficit to widen despite the rapid recovery in 
tourism revenues and inflationary pressures to increase. 
Annual CPI inflation hit its highest level of the last 24 years 
in October and then started to decline due to the high base 
effect. 

The Turkish banking sector maintained its strong outlook 
and continued to support economic activity despite the 
rising volatility in financial markets.

Despite the global economic turmoil and the challenging 
economic conjuncture, as İşbank, we completed 2022 
achieving successful results and reaching our targets. 
The most important component of our solid financial 
performance is our long-term perspective, in which we 
consider both financial and non-financial capital elements 
together. As we prepare to celebrate our 100th anniversary 
in 2024, we work with the responsibility of being a reliable 
companion for all our stakeholders.

We are an organization that has integrated sustainability 
into all processes, turned it into a corporate culture, and 
performed at international standards in this field. We continue 
to operate with an integrated sustainability approach at 
every stage, from product development to recruitment 
and promotion, from audit to social responsibility initiatives 
and procurement processes. We evaluate the social, 
environmental, and economic impacts of all our projects 
together and make solid cost and benefit calculations.

As a result of the performance achieved with this holistic 
perspective, our Bank continued to gain the appreciation 
of various domestic and international organizations in 
2022 as well. We were honored with the “Bank of the Year 
in Türkiye” award by The Banker Magazine published by 
“The Financial Times,” one of the world’s leading financial 
and economic media. Our strong financial performance, as 
well as our constant innovative service approach focused 
on creating value for customers in the field of digitalization 
and innovation, and the initiatives we undertake for society 
were effective in winning this award. We were also named 
the best digital bank in Central and Eastern Europe by 
Euromoney, one of the most prestigious publications in the 
field of global finance and banking.

In 2022, we fulfilled our commitments in the field of 
sustainability and added new ones to our existing 
commitments. We committed internationally to support 
the transition to a carbon neutral economy by becoming 
a member of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), 
established by the United Nations to ensure that member 
banks align their portfolios with net-zero emission targets 
in line with the Paris Climate Agreement by 2050. 

For 98 years, İşbank has been an institution that fulfills its 
social responsibilities without interruption, regardless of 
economic and social conditions. In 2022, we signed an 
important collaboration and became the official supporter 
of the Turkish National Olympic Committee for the 2024 
Paris Olympics. With this collaboration, we aim to provide 
young people with more opportunities to prepare for the 
Olympics, as well as to give children the habit of sports, 
to introduce children to Olympic values at an early age, 
to have more young people represent our country at the 
Olympics, and to increase our achievements. We are 
very happy to support this important organization, which 
coincides with the 100th anniversary of our Bank and aims 
to be climate positive and contribute to gender equality. We 
believe that together we will achieve successes that will 
make us all proud and happy. 

In 2022, we sponsored the Marmara Sea Symposium to 
become part of the solution to marine pollution, one of the 
most significant environmental issues in our country. At 
the Marmara Sea Symposium organized by the Turkish 

The 100th anniversary of the Republic 
means more than this for İşbank. It is an 
institution that meets on the common 
ground of independence with our Republic 
and that will experience the enthusiasm of 
its 100th anniversary one year apart.

Marine Research Foundation (TÜDAV), topics such as 
mucilage, pollution, biodiversity, fisheries, earthquakes, the 
Turkish Straits, and maritime transport were discussed 
comprehensively by experts from different disciplines, and 
solutions were presented. 

Another of our prominent initiatives in the field of 
environment is the “Deniz Kâşifi (Sea Explorer)” project. 
In cooperation with the Middle East Technical University 
(METU) Institute of Marine Sciences to support scientific 
and academic studies on life in the seas, a specially 
produced unmanned underwater glider device called 
“Deniz Kâşifi”, was provided to and will be used for the first 
time in Türkiye by the Institute of Marine Sciences at METU. 
The device, which will support scientific and academic 
studies on marine pollution in Türkiye, will enable scientific 
and academic studies on the seas to be carried out more 
efficiently and on a larger scale.

We extended our cooperation with the Turkish Chess 
Federation (TSF), which we have been supporting as the 
main sponsor since 2005, for another 5 years in order to 
introduce chess to more children in our country and to 
make chess widespread and easily accessible. Under the 
Bank’s sponsorship, chess has become the sport with 
the highest number of licensed players in the country. As 
a result of our partnership, which started 17 years ago, in 
addition to achieving countless international achievements, 
hundreds of thousands of our children and young people 
were introduced to chess and brand new worlds were 
created by reaching disadvantaged groups. In the upcoming 
days, in addition to the chess classes opened in primary 
and secondary schools across Türkiye, by including the 
preschool program within the scope, we aim to introduce 
chess to our children starting their education life.

Esteemed stakeholders, 

In 2023, our Republic, which was founded by Gazi Mustafa 
Kemal Atatürk and his fellow fighters by rising from the 
ashes of a nation struggling for existence, will be a century-
old sycamore. The 100th anniversary of the Republic 
means more than this for İşbank. It is an institution that 
meets on the common ground of independence with our 
Republic and that will experience the enthusiasm of its 
100th anniversary one year apart.

İşbank and its subsidiaries are a large community that 
supports Türkiye’s sustainable growth and development 
with the products and services they offer for export and 
production as well as the employment they create. Our 
Bank supports the real sector and households with its 
nationwide service network and digital contact points. 
In our second century, our Bank will continue to use its 
resources for Türkiye with determination.

İşbank will continue to be a reliable companion for its 
customers, business partners, and all stakeholders in a 
period when the global economy becomes more fragile 
and complex, income inequality is increasing day by day, 
and the negative impacts of climate change and loss of 
biodiversity are being felt more and more. Our Bank will 
continue to support the real economy and households by 
bringing the strength it derives from its deep-rooted history 
and principles together with up-to-date technologies. On 
behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all our 
stakeholders, especially İşbank employees, who are the 
architects of our success with their efforts.

Yours sincerely,

Message from the CEO

Esteemed Stakeholders,

Following the Kahramanmaraş-centred earthquake disasters 
that devastatingly affected many surrounding provinces, we are 
living through very difficult times in which we are deeply shaken 
up as a country and put to the test with human life. I believe that 
we can overcome these difficult days of great pain only by joining 
hands together, and I would like to take this opportunity to once 
again express my condolences and best wishes for our nation. 
The solidarity we have shown since the first day, and every helping 
hand we extended to those struggling to survive, gladden our 
hearts to some extent. As İşbank, we shoulder the responsibility 
for our country today, as in the past, and we are helping to heal 
the wounds with a very comprehensive aid package. I believe that 
united together, we will overcome these diffucult days that our 
country is going through after the earthquakes as soon as possible.

The year 2022 was marked by an increase in global commodity 
prices, especially energy, and consequently rising inflation 
worldwide, with the impact of the tension between Russia and 
Ukraine. The world economy, which recovered rapidly after 
the pandemic in 2021, grew at a slower pace than anticipated 
throughout the year as the tension between the two countries 
turned into a hot conflict in February 2022. International 
organizations revised their global growth forecasts downwards 
and inflation expectations upwards during the year. According 
to IMF data, the slowdown trend in the world economy, which 
is estimated to have ended 2022 with a growth rate of 3.4%, is 
predicted to continue in 2023 due to the tightening steps taken 
by major central banks to fight inflation.

In 2022, the Turkish economy continued to grow, albeit losing 
momentum compared to the previous year, thanks to strong 
domestic demand and moderate contributions from net exports 
and investments. In this period, global inflationary pressures, as well 
as the lagged impacts of the depreciation in the Turkish lira, caused 
inflation to remain high. Despite the strong performance in tourism 
revenues, the widening in the foreign trade deficit in parallel with 
rising commodity prices on a global scale led to a rapid increase in 
the current account deficit. On the other hand, the robust course of 
economic activity and the high inflationary environment led budget 
revenues, particularly tax revenues, to increase sharply, keeping the 
budget deficit below the year-end target.

In 2022, when risk perception followed a volatile course, the 
Turkish banking sector continued to support economic activity 
by successfully managing risks with its robust financial structure. 
Having the pioneer position in the sector, İşbank consolidated its 
position in the sector by realizing a performance that significantly 
exceeded its targets in 2022, when uncertainty was at the 
forefront. In 2022, our asset size reached TL 1,408.3 billion 
with an increase of 52.0% compared to the previous year; the 
cash loans we extended in the same period increased to TL 
759.3 billion and non-cash loans to TL 246.7 billion, and our 
total contribution to the economy was TL 1 trillion in the same 
period. While leaving behind a successful year, in addition to the 
soundness of our financial structure, we addressed digitalization, 
sustainability, competent human resources, customer experience, 
and subsidiary strategy as a whole with an integrated perspective.

Together	to	Our	100th Anniversary
In 2023, our Republic, founded by the Great Leader Mustafa 
Kemal Atatürk, will turn 100 years old. One year later, İşbank will 
celebrate the 100th anniversary of its foundation. We continue 

to create value for all our stakeholders in line with our vision of 
“becoming the bank of the future, creating sustainable value 
with an inclusive and participatory approach”. We have set the 
theme of our Integrated Annual Report for 2022 as “Together to 
our 100th anniversary,” in which we aim to transparently explain 
how we created value from our activities as well as our goals for 
the future. Accordingly, we will continue to support the national 
economy by resolutely implementing a healthy growth strategy 
with the support of our robust financial structure and quality service 
delivery. We are building the bank of the future with our business 
model, organization and branch structure, service approach, the 
competence of our employees, and our technological infrastructure.

Corporate Commitments for Sustainability
In 2022, our efforts to fight climate change, which is one of 
the leading global problems, have continued at an accelerated 
pace. We added a new one to our international commitments in 
this area, and as a signatory of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance 
established by the United Nations, we committed to aligning 
our loan portfolio with net-zero emission targets on a scientific 
basis by 2050 in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. In order 
to reach net-zero targets, we also added to our goals to support 
our customers' transition processes to a net-zero economy by 
focusing our 2030 targets on carbon-intensive sectors and to 
report and publish our progress in emission targets on an annual 
basis. Joining the Net-Zero Banking Alliance will further increase 
our effectiveness in fighting climate change.

We evaluate climate change topics not only in terms of reduction 
and adaptation but also in terms of the opportunities created 
for green transformation. In this regard, our Bank continues its 
efforts to offer its customers both product and service packages, 
as well as to provide consultancy. Until 2026, we are committed 
to contributing to the green transformation of the economy by 
providing sustainable financing amounting to TL 300 billion.

We support women's participation in business life and continue 
to offer the necessary financial and non-financial solutions 
to women entrepreneurs, who are an important dynamic in 
sustaining economic and social development. Starting from 2023, 
we are committed to providing financing support of TL 100 billion 
to our women entrepreneurs within 5 years. In 2022, we launched 
a new project called WeLead (Leading Women Entrepreneurship 
for Accelerating Development) in cooperation with TÜRKONFED 
and with the support of UN Women to improve the capacities 
of women entrepreneurs and strengthen their communication 
networks. Within the project, our efforts to provide training support 
to entrepreneurial women will continue regardless of sector and 
scale in 2023 as well. As an indication of the importance our 
Bank attaches to gender equality, we became a member of the 
30% Club, a cooperation in which the chairpersons of the board 
of directors and general managers aim to improve the gender 
balance at all levels of their organizations and to increase the ratio 
of women in the boards and senior management to 30%.

In the field of agriculture, we support sustainability in agriculture 
with digital solutions to create a positive impact on food safety 
and resource efficiency. In line with our Bank's targets within 
the framework of the effective use of agriculture, finance, 
and technology together, and the theme of sustainability, we 
established the Agricultural Banking Advisory Board, which is 
comprised of experts who have made a difference in agriculture 
and related fields, under the leadership of our Bank. To share our 
perspective on agricultural banking with farmers and to establish 
more effective communication with them, we launched agriculture 
specialized branches. We held the first Imece Workshops, which 

Preparing to celebrate its 100th anniversary, 
as an institution with deep-rooted corporate 
values and always looking out for the 
interests of its country, our Bank has turned its 
compass towards the principle of sustainable 
profit for all in these turbulent times.

Hakan Aran

aim to bring together different stakeholders of the ecosystem 
under agriculture-specific topics and develop solutions together 
to the problems identified, with the theme of “Water” in October 
2022 and the second one in December with the theme of 
“Wheat”. In 2022, we continued to increase the financial and 
digital literacy of our farmers and support their agricultural 
activities with our mobile application İmeceMobil, which has 
become a platform specific to the agricultural sector.

Bank of the Future

As part of our efforts to build the Bank of the Future, we continue 
to invest in technology, digitalize our processes, and offer our 
customers easy, fast, and secure experiences. With this approach, 
the number of İşCep users exceeded 11.9 million, and the rate 
of digital transactions exceeded 96 percent. We launched Nays 
in 2022 in order to meet the daily financial needs of the young 
population with high financial technology adaptation and a variety 
of experience expectations, all while providing a simple and easy 
experience. Offering advantageous shopping and money transfers, 
Nays reached more than 1 million users in a short time.

Within our strategy to design the bank of the future and 
corresponding customer experience, we launched İş Mekan, a 
Next-Generation Customer Contact Point, with the aim of reaching 
our customers, who we contact digitally, in the physical world 
as well and offering multiple value propositions by meeting their 
needs more holistically without limiting them to banking processes.

Support for Entrepreneurship

Our Bank, which has supported entrepreneurs since the first 
years of its establishment, maintains its effectiveness in the 
entrepreneurial or entrepreneurship ecosystem with a broad 
perspective.

In 2022, we collaborated with the Vehbi Koç Foundation for 
initiatives that focus on a more livable world. Within this scope, we 
launched the “Impact Entrepreneurship Program” for initiatives 
that act with the vision of creating a new world by scaling social 
and environmental impact with technology. The 9th term startups 
of the Workup Entrepreneurship Program, of which we are the 
main supporter and which has been continuing uninterruptedly 
for 5 years, and the 1st term startups of the Workup Agri 
Entrepreneurship Program, which was launched in 2021 under the 
roof of Workup, graduated in 2022. To date, 35 Workup startups 

have made a significant contribution to the national economy by 
receiving an investment of approximately USD 12 million during or 
after the program. Also, in the coming period, we aim to deepen the 
Workup parent brand by focusing on different verticals.

In 2022, we also opened our second Entrepreneurship Branch 
in Izmir in cooperation with İzQ. Our branch, which differs 
from traditional banking activities, was designed to serve 
entrepreneurs and ecosystem stakeholders.

As a Bank that believes in a collective working culture and shared 
wisdom and internalizes these values, we always act with a “people 
first” approach. We strive to implement the most up-to-date 
practices in order to keep going as an institution where employees 
can realize their potential and are proud to work.

To this end, in 2022, we continued with projects related to working 
life as well. We have made progress in agile areas, which are 
important transformation areas. We continued our investments to 
implement next-generation working models, which have become 
widespread especially after the pandemic, and we made the hybrid 
working model open to all our employees. 

In 2022, with the widespread use of remote working in corporate 
life, our employees started to serve free from a location in Maxiofis 
environments, and the aim is to enhance Maxiofis working 
environments.

Esteemed Stakeholders,
In the face of fluctuations in the global economy, the impacts of 
the climate crisis, and increasing social and economic inequalities, 
İşbank is positioned as an inclusive business partner. Preparing to 
celebrate its 100th anniversary, as an institution with deep-rooted 
corporate values and always looking out for the interests of its 
country, our Bank has turned its compass towards the principle of 
sustainable gain for all in these turbulent times. Undoubtedly, the 
Bank will continue its activities in light of the founding values of 
our country with the support of all parties that trust it. I would like 
to extend my gratitude to all our stakeholders who have provided 
full support for us on this steadfast journey and to all İşbank 
employees who have always worked with great dedication.

Yours sincerely,

Looking Into the Future

Operating Environment: General Evaluations

Global Economy

In 2022, the uncertainty caused by the Russia-Ukraine 
war, as well as the commercial and financial sanctions 
imposed on Russia, have been the main risk factors for 
the world economy, especially for European economies. 
Therefore, while the disruptions in supply chains 
for basic needs such as energy and food increased 
global inflationary pressures, the rapid tightening of 
monetary policies worldwide caused economic activity 
to lose momentum. In such an environment where 
global recession concerns increased, international 
organizations revised their growth forecasts for the 
world economy downwards and inflation forecasts 
upwards during the year. According to IMF data, the 
global economy, which displayed a rapid recovery of 
6.2% in 2021, is predicted to have completed 2022 with 
a growth rate of 3.4%, and the slowdown trend in the 
global economy is expected to continue in 2023 as well. 

Despite the slowdown in economic activity, central 
banks in advanced economies continued to take strong 
tightening steps to fight high inflation, leading to a decline 
in the risk appetite for emerging economies. Accordingly, 
portfolio investments in emerging economies followed a 
fluctuating course during the year.

Turkish Economy

After a strong performance in the first half of the year, the 
Turkish economy grew by 5.6% in 2022, with a marked 
deceleration in the second half. In 2022, tax revenues 
increased rapidly due to the buoyant course of economic 
activity, especially in the first half of the year, as well as the 
high course of inflation throughout the year, supporting 
budget revenues, while budget expenditures increased 
more moderately compared to revenues. Accordingly, the 
budget deficit in 2022 stood at TL 139.1 billion, well below 
the budget target set at the end of 2021 and the MTP 
forecast announced in September 2022.

In 2022, despite the rapid recovery in transport and 
tourism revenues, the current account deficit displayed 
a widening trend due to geopolitical developments that 
pushed up global commodity prices, particularly energy 
prices, and the slowdown in EU economies. Accordingly, 
the current account deficit increased nearly 7-fold on an 
annual basis to USD 48.8 billion in 2022. 

In addition to global inflationary pressures, strong 
domestic demand and the lagged effects of the 
depreciation in the Turkish lira caused inflation to 
remain high during the year. Annual CPI inflation, which 
peaked at 85.51% in October, declined from this level 
due to the base effect and was realized as 64.3% at the 
end of 2022. D-PPI inflation, which reached 157.7% in 
October, was 97.7% at the end of the year. The CBRT 
has cut the policy rate by a total of 500 basis points 
since August and brought it down to 9% as of November. 
The volatility in domestic financial markets during the 
year due to the rapid tightening trend in global financial 
conditions decreased following the implementation of 
macroprudential policies. Türkiye’s 5-year CDS premium, 
which rose as high as 900 basis points during the year, 
followed a downward trend in the last months of the year 
and ended the year at around 500 basis points.

Banking Sector*

While the banking sector continued to support economic 
activity in 2022, it maintained its strong outlook. The 
volume of Turkish Lira loans, including loans to the 
financial sector, increased by 77.5% on an annual basis, 
reaching TL 4,749.6 billion as of December 30, 2022. 
In the same period, the volume of FX loans fell to USD 
125.9 billion, with a decrease of 15.7%. Accordingly, the 
total loan volume expanded by 52.8% as of December 
30, 2022 and reached TL 7,100 billion. According to 
the exchange rate adjusted data, the total loan volume 
expanded by 38% in this period. 

As of December 30, 2022, according to the Weekly Bulletin 
data published by the Banking Regulation and Supervision 
Agency, the volume of TL deposits, including deposits of banks, 
increased by 145.7% and reached TL 4,468 billion compared 
to the same period in 2021 with the support of the FX-
protected deposit accounts. The volume of FX deposits in USD 
terms decreased by 12.5% in this period and was realized as 
USD 208.4 billion. Thus, as of December 30, 2022, the total 
deposit volume increased by 68.4% compared to the same 
period of the previous year and reached TL 8,360 billion. 
According to the exchange rate adjusted data, the annual 
increase in total deposit volume was 45.4%.

İşbank

2022 was a year in which the high inflation outlook 
prevailed, policy rates remained relatively low, and 
balance sheets were shaped within the framework of 
macroprudential measures. Maintaining its balance 
sheet management with a risk-oriented, dynamic, and 
sustainable perspective, İşbank increased its asset size 
by 52.0% to TL 1,408.3 billion by the end of 2022 and 
maintained its title of being “Türkiye's largest private 
bank.”

In 2022, İşbank continued to support the real sector 
and households, increasing its cash loans by 53.9% 
compared to the end of the previous year. The total 
equity provided by the Bank to the economy exceeded 
TL 1 trillion by the end of 2022, of which TL 759.3 billion 
were cash loans and TL 246.7 billion were non-cash 
loans. Thus, İşbank continued to be the private bank 
making the most significant contribution to the national 
economy.

Continuing to improve its asset quality indicators in 2022, 
the Bank’s non-performing loans ratio declined to 3.0% 
from the previous year-end level of 4.1%.

İşbank’s deposit size increased by 56.3% compared 
to the previous year-end and reached TL 931.1 billion. 
While the regulations introduced within the framework 
of the “liraisation” strategy shaped the composition of 
deposits, TL deposits increased by more than 130% 
within this framework. İşbank maintained its leading 
position among private banks not only in total deposits 
but also in size of demand deposits.

Maintaining its strong liquidity level in 2022, İşbank’s total 
liquidity coverage ratio stood at 155%, while the foreign 
currency liquidity coverage ratio stood at 473%.

İşbank maintained its leading position among private 
banks with its shareholders’ equity, which increased by 
120.4% in 2022 year-on-year and reached TL 191.4 
billion. With a capital adequacy ratio of 24.4% in 2022, 
İşbank became one of the banks with the highest ratio in 
the sector.

As a result of our stakeholders’ confidence in our Bank’s 
strong structure, İşbank significantly increased its market 
capitalization during the year and became the bank with 
the highest market value among private banks by the 
end of 2022.

In 2023, under a macroeconomic outlook in which 
inflation loses momentum, exchange rates remain stable 
within a narrow band, and the policy rate remains flat, 
the banking sector will prioritize the management of 
balance sheets shaped by macroprudential policies, 
taking into account liquidity, interest rate, and exchange 
rate risks. In addition, strengthening capital with products 
and services to support equity through risk-adjusted 
returns and profitability will be prioritized. Flexible and 
agile management will be displayed in the formulation of 
balance sheet strategies and updating them according 
to changing conditions. In the operating environment of 
2023, in which it will be important to manage customer 
preferences effectively while adapting to rapidly 
changing legislative regulations, the impact of legal 
regulations on growth targets and profitability will be 
reflected in balance sheet management decisions with a 
holistic and prudent perspective along with the priority of 
maintaining customer confidence.

With 
a capital adequacy ratio
of 24.4% in 2022, İşbank became one 
of the banks with the highest ratio in the 
sector.

Global Tendencies, Risks, 
Opportunities and Forecasts

The year 2022 was completed under the 
impact of high inflation and economic 
bottlenecks worldwide. The impact of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, extreme natural events 
caused by climate change, and political turmoil 
were other prominent developments of the year. 

High inflation negatively affects production 
and purchasing power.

Global growth, which was 6.2% in 2021, is predicted to 
decline to 3.4% in 2022 and 2.9% in 2023. Global inflation 
is projected to rise from 4.7% in 2021 to 8.8% in 2022 but 
is expected to decline in 2023 and 2024.1 The predictability 
of the future values of economic variables such as input 
prices, interest rates, exchange rates, and expenses is 
important for making decisions regarding production and 
investment in the economy. As prediction becomes more 
difficult in an environment of inflation and uncertainty, it also 
becomes difficult to make decisions regarding production 
and investment. Increasing costs due to inflation, various 
financial risks, and uncertainty adversely affect production. 
Increasing inflation and decreasing production negatively 
affect purchasing power.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
Development (OECD) has lowered its forecast for world 
economic growth to 3 percent for 2022 and 2.8 percent 
for 2023. It also notes that in developing countries, high 
energy and food prices have caused deterioration in 
households’ real incomes.2 Food prices continued to rise in 
most countries, with inflation in the OECD reaching 10.7%. 
The highest rates (above 20%) were observed in Estonia, 
Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, and Türkiye.3 The 2022 Global 
Inflation Perception Survey conducted by Ipsos in 28 
countries revealed that the purchasing power of 8 out of 10 
people in Türkiye has decreased. Respondents stated that 
they spend more money on food expenditures, give up the 
brands they are used to, and follow promotions compared 
to three months ago.4  In the 28 countries where the survey 
was conducted, people have been worrying about paying 
their bills for the next six months.

The climate crisis continues to top the global 
agenda.

While the climate crisis puts pressure on natural resources 
and biodiversity by triggering extreme weather events 
such as droughts and floods, it also causes an increase in 
socio-economic inequality and humanitarian crises between 
countries.5

The climate crisis is seen as one of the most important risks 
facing the world today. According to the 2022 Global Risk 
Report6 published by the World Economic Forum (WEF),  
the top global risks include failure to take action for climate, 
extreme weather, and loss of biodiversity. According to the 
Allianz Risk Barometer 2022 Survey,7  the increase in natural 
disasters and climate change are listed in third and sixth 
place, respectively. Without timely action, climate change is 
estimated to cost the global economy USD 178 trillion over 
the next 50 years.

The transition to a low-carbon economy in the fight against 
climate change presents companies with a range of 
operational, economic, and reputational risks on topics such 
as adapting green technologies, complying with international 
and national environmental regulations, and accessing 
financing. Business leaders now recognize climate change 
as a planetary emergency. According to Deloitte's 2022 
CxO Sustainability Report,8 which examines the concerns 
and actions of senior executives and companies on climate 
change and sustainability, 79% of C-level executives or CxOs 
believe the tipping point to take action on climate change 
has been reached. Compared to the previous survey, this 
rate has increased by 20%. Again, 97% of CxOs emphasize 
that climate change has already negatively affected their 
organizations, while 50% emphasize that it has negatively 
affected their operations. The Global CEO Survey9 conducted 
by PwC reveals that 40% of CEOs include climate change in 
their strategic risk management.

Not only the business world but also society is growing more 
concerned about climate change. In a survey on climate 
change perceptions conducted by Deloitte in 2021, 57% 
of respondents said they “feel concerned about climate 
change” and 72% said they “believe climate change is an 
emergency”. The Deloitte Global 2022 Generation Z and Y 
Survey10 also shows that climate is a top concern for these 
generations. 11Generations Z and Y think that the world is at a 
critical threshold in terms of climate change and demand that 
companies take action on climate change.

The use of big data and artificial intelligence 
in the finance sector is on the rise.

In the financial sector, which is a data-intensive industry, 
big data and artificial intelligence applications are being 
utilized to a great extent thanks to the proliferation of 
big data, increasing capacity, and decreasing cost of 
technology. 12

Companies can improve their operational performance 
with artificial intelligence applications13 (chatbots 
and digital assistants, robot consultancy, natural 
language processing, machine learning, intelligent 
process automation, visual and video data analysis, 
etc.). In addition, by offering personalized products 
and services, they gain significant advantages in 
areas14 such as increasing customer satisfaction and 
loyalty, reducing risk, gaining a competitive advantage, 
detecting fraud and fraudulent transactions faster, and 
making strategic decisions.

According to Deloitte's “State of AI in the Enterprise” 
survey,15 94% of business leaders see AI as critical to 
success in the next five years. And 76% of respondents 
plan to increase their investments in AI to realize 
more benefits. According to the results of the survey 
conducted by KPMG with over 400 banking leaders, 
63% of respondents recognize AI and 54% recognize 
data analytics as an important tool for competitive 
advantage.16 McKinsey’s “AI Banks of the Future” report 
states that AI has the potential to generate USD 1 trillion 
in additional benefits for banks each year.17  

PwC estimates that AI will boost global GDP by USD 15.7 
trillion by 2030.18 A new forecast from the International 
Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide AI Spending Guide 
shows that global spending on artificial intelligence (AI) 
will reach nearly USD 118 billion in 2022 and exceed 
USD 300 billion in 202619. In the banking sector, the AI 
market is expected to reach USD 64.03 billion by 2030, 
up from USD 3.88 billion in 2020.20 

Developments such as the “Great 
Resignation” and the “Silent Resignation” 
affect companies from all sectors.

The workforce crises known as the “Great Resignation” 
and the “Silent Resignation”, which have become more 
visible after the pandemic, affect companies from all sectors 
all over the world. In the USA, resignation rates, which 
increased every year between 2009 and 2020, decreased 
due to the uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 
pandemic, but reached a record high as the impacts of the 
pandemic subsided.  According to the US Bureau of Labor 
Statistics, more than 47 million Americans voluntarily quit 
their jobs in 2021.21 According to Dr. Anthony Klotz, who 
conceptualizes this movement as the Great Resignation, 
people who went through transformative processes during 
the pandemic quit their jobs or move to new jobs with higher 
self-satisfaction, with the desire to embark on new personal 
journeys. Professionals who are used to working remotely 
during the pandemic do not want to return to the office 
environment as the pandemic’s impact subsides and are 
looking for other jobs where they can work remotely.22

The Silent Resignation23 movement, which describes people 
who, even if they do not resign, refuse work beyond their 
assigned tasks or become less psychologically engaged at 
work, is also affecting the world. In the USA, employee loyalty 
declined further to 32% in the second quarter of 2022, while 
the rate of those who do not feel loyalty rose to 18%.24 Since 
the pandemic, the way people relate to their work has changed. 
People have started to look for more meaning in their jobs, 
realizing that the extra effort they put in at work is not paying off.  
Silent resignation is a reaction to a culture of hustle and bustle 
and burnout from people who are less engaged at work.25

The repercussions of this wave in Türkiye are the desire of 
skilled labor to work abroad and the decline in job loyalty 
rates. While the economic crisis had not intensified and 
the pandemic had not yet started, TÜİK International 
Migration Statistics for 2019 report that more than 300 
thousand people migrated from Türkiye to abroad.26 In a 
study conducted in Türkiye,27 24 percent of employees 
state that they are in the process of silent resignation and 
46.6 percent state that they are prone to this concept due 
to reasons such as low salary, work-private life imbalance, 
lack of clear job description, closed career paths, and long 
working hours. The rate of those who feel they belong in 
their workplace is only 18.5 percent.

The transformation of banks into technology 
companies is accelerating.

Cybersecurity remains on the agenda as the 
most important issue of the digital world.

Digitalization continues to shape the future of the 
banking sector as it does in many other industries. In 
line with the increasing demand for digital banking 
experience, banks are focusing on integrating technology 
into all banking processes and services with the aim of 
improving customer experience, increasing operational 
efficiency, and reducing risks.

According to Insider Intelligence Research, 39% of retail 
banking executives say technology has reduced costs, 
while 24% say it has improved the customer experience. 
The survey also reveals that 66% of executives believe 
that new technologies such as blockchain, artificial 
intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) will have 
the greatest impact on banking by 2025. 

On the other hand, there is research that shows that 
companies face some challenges in adopting these 
technologies. In a recent survey conducted by Deloitte, 
84% of respondents said they had difficulty with artificial 
intelligence technology, while 65% had difficulty with 
cybersecurity, 65% with cloud computing, 62% with 
advanced analytics, and 56% with robotic process 
automation.

Cybersecurity and data privacy breaches, which emerge 
in different ways every day, create risks for companies 
of all sizes. Low levels of awareness and inadequate 
protection practices leave systems and information 
vulnerable. While cybersecurity vulnerabilities increased 
by an average of 28.3% annually between 2016 and 
2021, it is estimated that the number of data breach 
incidents in the world exceeded 40 billion in 2021. The 
cost of data breaches has increased from USD 3.86 
million to USD 4.24 million, reaching a historic 17-year 
high in reported data breaches. 28 

The results of Deloitte's cybersecurity survey of 
577 senior executives from 26 countries show that 
cyberattacking software is a major concern, with the 
biggest impact being disruption to operations.29

According to research conducted by the European Union 
Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) between March and 
August 2022, the top 10 cybersecurity threats that will 
emerge by 2030 are;

 ᆔ Supply chain compromise of software dependencies
 ᆔ Advanced disinformation campaigns
 ᆔ Rise of digital surveillance/loss of privacy
 ᆔ Human error within cyber-physical ecosystems and 

exploited legacy systems 

 ᆔ Targeted attacks enhanced with smart device data
 ᆔ Lack of analysis and control of space-based 

infrastructure and objects

 ᆔ Rise of advanced hybrid threats
 ᆔ Skills shortage
 ᆔ Cross-border ICT service providers as a single point 

of failure

 ᆔ Artificial intelligence abuse.30

Increasing and changing regulations create a 
dynamic risk environment.

The impacts of climate change and the pandemic, 
economic crises, and political uncertainties bring along 
many regulations for the business world. Along with 
these regulations, expectations for companies in terms 
of sustainability and transparency are increasing. This 
creates a dynamic risk environment for companies. While 
compliance with regulations requires a high level of effort, 
non-compliance can result in a lack of stakeholder trust 
and a damaged brand reputation.

Increased regulatory compliance requires collecting 
and standardizing a range of data, directing it to the 
right decision makers, and incorporating it into risk and 
strategic decision-making processes. This process may 
be challenging for companies. Participants more than 57% 
in Deloitte survey, which included finance, accounting, 
sustainability, and legal executives of 300 public 
companies with over USD 500 million in revenue, indicated 
that data access and data accuracy or completeness 
remain their greatest challenges with respect to 
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data.31

Companies are expected to monitor not only their own 
operations but also those of their suppliers in line with 
regulatory requirements. It is stated that failure to follow 
ESG regulations in the supply chain can lead to business 
interruptions.32

Aiming to meet the commitments of the Paris Agreement, 
the EU Green Deal aims to reduce emissions by at least 
55% by 2030 and make the EU carbon neutral by 2050.33 
The EU Green Deal is transforming international trade as 
well as the fight against climate change. It brings a range 
of responsibilities for both companies’ own operations and 
those of their suppliers, combining significant opportunities 
and risks. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, 
which is part of the EU Green Deal, directly affects our 
country, with more than 40% of its exports going to EU 
countries. Higher costs and a decrease in competitiveness 
are among the expected impacts.34

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), 
a new EU legislation, the framework for which was 
drafted in 2022, requires all large companies to publish 
regular reports on their environmental and social impact 
activities. This regulation expands the scope and reporting 
requirements of the Non-Financial Reporting Directive 
(NFRD). While the NFRD covers around 11,000 companies, 
the CSRD will cover around 49,000 companies. 35 The 
CSRD is binding for companies currently subject to the 
NFRD with more than 250 employees and total assets of 
more than EUR 20 million or turnover of more than EUR 40 

million. Relevant companies are expected to submit their 
CSRD-compliant reports for the 2024 financial year on 
January 1, 2025.36

The impacts of the energy crisis are felt in all 
sectors and social life.

The impacts that emerge when the continuity of energy, 
which is one of the critical resources for societies, is 
endangered or interrupted spread to both economic and 
social life. In this respect, the energy crisis emerges as a 
factor that threatens sustainable development.

The impacts of rising energy prices are felt by all companies. 
While aviation, shipping, and chemical companies are directly 
impacted by higher energy prices, the food industry and 
tourism sectors are affected by second-round impacts.37 38 
The oil and gas industry is one of the sectors most affected 
by the energy crisis. While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and 
geopolitical shifts affected energy prices extremely quickly, 
negotiations on a new nuclear deal with Iran are complicating 
the energy landscape.39

The Ukraine-Russia conflict had an accelerating impact on 
the energy crisis. The European Union, which supplies 41% 
of its natural gas needs from Russia, is the most dependent 
region in the world for energy from Russia. Russia also plays 
an important role in the supply of many resources such as 
copper, nickel, and lithium needed for renewable energy.40

Energy consumption worldwide is still heavily dependent 
on fossil fuels as today's decarbonization policies are fairly 
new. In Europe, fossil fuels represent around 70% of final 
energy consumption. Electricity, which represents 22% of 
energy consumption, is also largely generated from fossil 
fuels, mainly gas and coal.41

Energy prices reached record highs, but remain highly 
volatile. Before the invasion of Ukraine, wholesale gas prices 
were around 200% higher than a year ago. Gas prices 
reached more than EUR 340 per MWh in July, more than 
ten times higher than a year ago. Wholesale electricity 
prices followed a similar trend. High gas demand during the 
post-Covid-19 economic recovery also plays an important 
role in these high prices.42

The indirect impacts of the energy crisis, such as 
production restrictions, shutdowns, and recessions, have 

resulted in high energy bills and fuel shortages both in 
Europe and in many developing countries. In developing 
economies, where the share of household budgets spent 
on energy and food is already high, higher energy bills have 
increased poverty. This hampers progress towards achieving 
energy access. Even in advanced economies, higher energy 
bills have impacted vulnerable households and caused 
significant economic, social and political strains.43

Rising energy prices are hampering food security and the 
ability to meet humanitarian needs. Millions of people have 
become dependent on humanitarian assistance to survive. 
This, in turn, poses an obstacle to efforts to eradicate 
poverty and achieve other development goals.44

Russia-Ukraine tensions had a significant 
impact on the global economy.

The World Bank’s Economic Update Report shows 
that the ongoing war in Ukraine has diminished post-
pandemic economic recovery prospects for emerging and 
developing economies in Europe and Central Asia.

As energy price hikes in the aftermath of the Russia-
Ukraine war continue to impact the region, economic 
activity is expected to remain under deep pressure over 
the coming year, with growth predicted to slow to 0.3% in 
2023. In Europe, which continues to hold on despite the 
invasion so far, some of the region’s largest economies 
are expected to grow beyond expectations, and some 
governments are predicted to contract by 0.2% this year 
with a cautious extension of pandemic stimulus programs.

According to analyses by the Economist Intelligence 
Unit (EIU),45 the conflict between Russia and Ukraine 
will negatively impact the global economy in the areas of 
financial sanctions, commodity prices, and supply chains.

As the global impact of US and EU sanctions against 
Russia is limited, the most serious impact of the Russia-
Ukraine conflict on the world economy is expected to 
come in the form of higher commodity prices. Concerns 
about supply, destruction of physical infrastructure, 
and sanctions are also expected to lead to a significant 
increase in commodity prices. With gasoline prices set to 
rise by at least 50% this year, on top of last year's fivefold 
increase and Europe's limited gas stocks, concerns about 
gas supplies for the 2022/23 northern hemisphere winter 
season continue.

As Russia is a major producer of various base metals 
(aluminum, titanium, palladium and nickel), prices are 
expected to continue to rise as long as the conflict 
continues. This will have a substantial impact on industrial 
sectors (such as the automotive industry) across the 
globe. Agricultural commodity prices will also continue 
to rise as Ukraine and Russia account for more than a 
quarter of the global wheat trade. Higher commodity 
prices are expected to boost global inflation in 2023. The 
EIU expects global inflation to be around 6% this year.46

The impacts of the social dimension of the war have also 
started to emerge. According to a UNICEF study,47 the war 
in Ukraine and rising inflation pushed four million more 
children into poverty in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. 
This corresponds to a 19%  increase since 2021.

The study on the impact of the war in Ukraine and the 
concomitant economic downturn on child poverty in 
Eastern Europe and Central Asia, with data from 22 
countries, shows that children bear the heaviest burden 
of the economic crisis caused by the war. While children 
make up 25 percent of the population, they account for 
nearly 40 percent of the 10.4 million people who fell into 
poverty this year.48

Message from the 
Sustainability Leader

Esteemed Stakeholders

As the first national bank of our Republic, İşbank has been 
one of the leading economic actors of our country with its 
support for economic development from past to present. Since 
1924, İşbank has been contributing to the national economy, 
providing financing to all sectors, from industry to agriculture, 
and working to increase the welfare level of society.

Our strategic priority

We work with the aim of creating shareable and sustainable 
value for all our stakeholders through our business model, 
which we define as “İşbank Banking” and which we 
continuously develop and pass down from generation to 
generation in light of our corporate values.

In order to contribute to the Sustainable Development 
Goals by increasing our positive impact together with our 
customers, suppliers, and employees, in short, all stakeholders 
in our ecosystem, we address sustainability at the highest 
level and among the strategic priorities in our business 
plans and transform this approach into concrete outputs. 
As an organization aware of our responsibility, we address 
sustainability in a way that includes actions that will contribute 
to our common future.

Since 2015, when we established our Sustainability 
Management System, we have been addressing our 
sustainability efforts systematically and in line with 
international best practices. Our Sustainability Committee, the 
highest governance body, includes members of our Board 
of Directors and Executive Board. This governance structure 
ensures that our comprehensive and multidimensional 
sustainability activities are managed from a holistic 
perspective and that interdisciplinary interaction is supported.

We address sustainability in all its dimensions with our 
business model, which actively manages all areas from end 
to end, from reducing the carbon footprint resulting from 
our own operations to supporting the green transformation 
of our customers, from procuring sustainable resources to 
developing sustainability-themed products and services, 
offering them to customers, and monitoring the environmental 
and social impacts of the credits extended.  

Our decarbonization efforts

In order to control the environmental impacts of our own 
operations, we monitor different environmental indicators in 
key impact areas such as waste generation, water and energy 
consumption, and carbon emissions in our Head Office 
buildings and branches and continue our digitalization efforts 
for paperless banking. By the end of 2022, we obtained ISO 
14001 Environmental Management System certification at 
all our locations. Based on scientific data, we set the target to 
reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 38% by 2025 and 65% 
by 2030 and to conduct our operations as carbon-neutral by 
2035. We made a commitment to the Science Based Targets 
Initiative (SBTi) for our emission reduction targets to be validated 
on a scientific basis. In line with this goal, we procured all of our 
electricity consumption as renewable energy in 2022.

Since 2019, we have been sharing our environmental 
performance with our stakeholders under the CDP Climate 
Change Program. In 2022, we raised our CDP Climate Change 
Program score to the “A-” level, which is defined as the 
leadership category. We aim to be among the Global Climate 
Leaders in this area. We also report to the CDP Water Security 
Program to announce our actions on water use and impact 
management on water resources.

In April 2022, we made a commitment to the Net Zero Banking 
Alliance by taking a very important step to manage the 
impacts arising from our loan portfolio and set our reduction 
targets. In order to reach net-zero targets by 2050, our Bank 
commits to supporting our customers' transition processes to 
a net-zero economy by focusing its 2030 targets on carbon-
intensive sectors and reporting and publishing its progress 
in emission targets on an annual basis. Joining the Net-Zero 
Banking Alliance together with the Principles of Responsible 
Banking will further increase our effectiveness in fighting 
climate change.

The rising green transformation against the risks posed 
by climate change in the world and in our country creates 
important opportunities for banks. Banks stand out as 
institutions that have the power to transform entire sectors 
through their lending processes thanks to being the main 
source of financing. Banks’ observance of sustainability 
principles in their lending processes ensures that the 
companies that will utilize this financing also operate within 
the framework of the same principles, enabling better 
management of environmental, social, and governance 
risks. After 2015, we allocated all financing of new projects 
for electricity generation investments to renewable energy 
projects. In 2020, we took an industry-leading decision; we 
announced that we would not finance new thermal power 
plant investments to generate electricity using coal and natural 
gas as fuel. Subsequently, we added coal mining, gold mining 
using cyanide, and activities prohibited by national legislation 
and international conventions regarding the protection of 
biodiversity resources and cultural heritage to the Exclusion 
List.

At İşbank, since 2012, we have been assessing the potential 
environmental and social risks of new investment projects 
with a total investment amount of more than USD 10 million 
through the Environmental and Social Risk Assessment Model. 

We evaluate climate change and its consequences not only 
from a risk perspective but also in terms of the opportunities 
it creates for green transformation. We see the Carbon Border 
Adjustment Mechanism, which will affect SMEs exporting to 
the EU, as an opportunity for our customers to reduce their 
carbon emissions by increasing their awareness of the issue. 
In this regard, we continue our efforts to provide our customers 
with both product packages and consultancy. We aim to 
contribute to our customers’ green transformation with the 
different loan products we offer

In the field of funding, the sustainability-linked syndicated 
loans we provide by determining performance indicators 
that reveal our environmental and social impacts are another 

We have committed to provide TL 300 billion of 
sustainable loans by 2026, as well as TL 100 billion 
of financing for women entrepreneurs within 5 years. 
Within the scope of our Net-Zero Banking Alliance 
commitment, we work to establish our emission 
reduction targets, prioritizing carbon-intensive sectors.

indicator of our responsible banking approach. In addition, 
since 2008, we have been raising funds from abroad to be 
used for issues related to environmental and social themes, 
including energy efficiency and renewable energy projects 
of small and medium-sized enterprises, residential energy 
efficiency projects, and green housing loans, as well as 
financing SMEs, women's businesses, and enterprises in 
prioritized development regions. In 2022, we secured a total of 
USD 327 million in new sustainability-related funding from the 
EBRD, IFC, and AIIB. 

Financing for an inclusive economy

We believe that sustainable development can only be realized 
by increasing the participation of women in business and 
the female labor force in the economy. To this end, we are 
increasingly using both our own resources and external funds 
to support women-owned businesses. As a signatory of the 
United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), we 
continue our efforts in many areas, from financing and training 
activities for female entrepreneurs to the egalitarian attitude 
that we have displayed towards our women employees. 
We believe that conducting our activities by taking these 
internationally approved principles into consideration will 
create significant added value.

We attach importance to the development of inclusive 
products and services that will enable access to financial 
services for all segments of society. We concretely 
demonstrate our understanding of financial inclusion with the 
support we provide to SMEs, women, and young entrepreneurs 
and the value we create in agricultural banking.

Practices supporting gender equality

We are one of the pioneering organizations in our country 
with our understanding of gender equality. In this organization, 
which is based on the equality of women and men and 
where equal opportunities are provided in every field from 
the first day of employment, we reinforce and develop this 
deep-rooted understanding in line with the requirements of 

the era. Our Gender Equality Policy was established in 2021 
with the decision of our Board of Directors. This Policy sets out 
the basic rules and principles regarding our Bank’s practices 
that observe gender equality in line with the principles of 
equal opportunity and diversity, both for its employees and its 
operations..

In 2022, we made this approach visible in the international 
arena by being listed in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index, 
one of the most reputable indices in the world.

Our Targets

At İşbank, we structure our sustainability efforts with concrete 
targets. We transparently share our efforts and progress 
towards the targets we set in our key performance areas. 

In parallel with drawing the decarbonization roadmap for 
our loan portfolio in 2023, we will focus on increasing our 
sustainable finance balance. We have committed to TL 300 
billion of sustainable loans by 2026, as well as TL 100 billion of 
financing for women entrepreneurs within 5 years. Within the 
scope of our Net-Zero Banking Alliance commitment, we work 
to establish our emission reduction targets, prioritizing carbon-
intensive sectors.

“The World is Ours, The Future is Ours”

At İşbank, we work with the dream of a beautiful future for 
everyone. We use our resources for a world where all segments 
of society participate equally in the economy, gender equality is 
achieved, natural resources are used responsibly, and children 
and young people can dream freely. We would like to thank all 
our stakeholders, especially our employees and customers, for 
accompanying us on this journey. 

Yours sincerely,

Management Evaluation and Analysis

How Do We Create Value? 
Sustainability at İşbank

Loans accounted for 53.9% of İşbank’s total assets of 
TL 1.4 trillion as of year-end 2022. The Bank’s total cash 
loans increased by 53.9% in 2022, driven by strong 
TL loan growth in the first half. Compared to the end of 
the previous year, retail loans and TL commercial loans 
increased by 61.0% and 85.6%, respectively, with total 
growth in TL loans reaching 75.5%. As a result of our 
strategy to reduce the share of FX loans, the contraction 
in FX loans accelerated compared to the previous year 
and was realized at 10.1% in USD terms.

Deposits continue to be the main source of funding 
with a 66.1% share in total liabilities. In 2022, the Bank's 
total deposit volume increased by 56.3%. Exchange 
rate-protected deposit products were decisive in 
deposit development and customer preferences, with 
TL deposits increasing by 130.4% while foreign currency 
deposits contracted by 10.7% in USD terms.

In 2022, our shareholders’ equity and capital adequacy 
ratio remained strong, supported by our net profit. We will 
prioritize the management of our balance sheet with a 
proactive and prudent approach by considering the risk-
return balance in order to ensure that our strong financial 
structure and capital adequacy are maintained under all 
conditions in 2023 as well.

As the bank of the future, we aim to repay our debt to 
our country, society and the world, not only through 
the services we will offer in banking with strong 
financial results and a sound financial structure, but 
also by making a difference with our social impact and 
sustainability initiatives. On the other hand, as a bank that 
uses technology in the most effective way to differentiate 
itself from the competition with our innovative approach 
and that prioritizes entrepreneurship, we will focus on 
increasing the contribution of the value created in new 
customers, new products/services, and new businesses/
markets to our operating results every day.

Having recorded a strong growth performance in the 
first half of 2022 on the back of the high contribution 
from private consumption expenditures, the Turkish 
economy lost momentum in the third quarter due to 
macroprudential measures restricting loan supply and 
grew by 5.6% in 2022.

In the Turkish banking sector, loan growth displayed a 
strong outlook in the first half of the year amid buoyant 
economic activity. In the second half of the year, the 
growth in TL commercial loans slowed due to the legal 
regulations that were put into effect as of the second 
quarter and subsequently increased in weight. The 
contraction in FX loans continued to reduce banks’ FX 
liquidity needs. While deposits have continued to be 
the main source of funding, exchange rate-protected 
deposit products, which were announced for the first 
time in December 2021, supported the transition from FX 
deposits to TL deposits during the year.

In this period, as İşbank, we continued to create value for 
the development of the country’s economy and society, 
and to pioneer technological development in the sector 
with our strong and productive business model, which 
we structured in line with our vision of “becoming the 
bank of the future, creating sustainable value with an 
inclusive and participatory approach” and our strategy 
of “managing our balance sheet to ensure sustainable 
and value-added growth while using our internal and 
external resources in accordance with the priorities of 
the country's economy and preparing our enterprise for 
the future by continuously improving our business model 
along with our group companies and all our business 
partners in the period of technological transformation.”

As of year-end 2022, the 
Bank maintained its title as 
“Türkiye's largest private 
bank” in terms of total 
assets, loans, deposits, and 
shareholders’ equity.

Aiming to create shareable and 
lasting value for our country since 
its foundation, İşbank’s sustainability 
approach has been summarized as 
“İşbank Banking”.

Our business model: İşbank Banking

İşbank Banking is a business model that combines 
financial and non-financial capital elements with the 
goal of “producing shareable and sustainable value”. 
With this model, the Bank aims to generate value for all 
its stakeholders in the short and long term. This value 
creation model, which allows the Bank’s sustainability 
priorities to be integrated into all decision-making 
processes, positions sustainability as one of the focal 
points of its corporate strategy. İşbank carries out all its 
efforts in this direction under the ownership of senior 
management and with the participation of all employees.

Looking out for social benefit, as well as the needs and 
expectations of all its stakeholders, İşbank associates 
the outputs of its value creation process with the United 
Nations Sustainable Development Goals that it has 
contributed to and manifests its support of global goals 
with the approach of shareable and sustainable value 
creation.

Materiality Analysis 
at İşbank

İşbank identifies and manages its 
corporate priorities through a dynamic 
process and a multiple-stakeholder 
engagement approach.

Through the materiality analysis conducted every year, 
İşbank identifies the topics that have the potential to affect 
its business model, where stakeholder expectations are 
high, and which İşbank can influence, and reviews its 
current list of material topics. The dynamic process of 
materiality analysis benefits from the opinions of numerous 
stakeholders, changing regulations and standards, 
corporate strategies, and prominent developments on the 
global agenda. 

In 2022, the material topics reviewed with a “double 
materiality” approach were divided into 3 groups. Our 
performance and targets on topics identified as “highly 
important” have been shared in detail in the Integrated 
Annual Report. The Report includes exemplary projects 
and performance indicators for the topics in the 
“important” group. “Less important” topics are closely 
monitored by İşbank, but performance in this area is not 
covered in detail in the report.

Double materiality:

When determining its material topics, İşbank considers 
the financial and non-financial impacts of topics with 
high potential impact on its business strategies and high 
stakeholder expectations with a holistic approach, taking 
into account its wide stakeholder network. The financial 
and reputational risk that each topic in the materiality 
process poses to the Bank and the level of impact that the 
topic will have on the relevant stakeholders are evaluated 
simultaneously. İşbank adopts a long-term impact 
approach. Therefore, even if the short-term financial and 
social impact of a topic is low, medium and long-term 
social and financial impacts are also considered in line 
with stakeholder expectations. In addition, all topics are 
also evaluated in terms of İşbank’s potential to influence 
the topic. For example, while evaluating Climate Action, 
which is among İşbank’s material topics, during the 
materiality process, the position of the topic within the 
Bank’s business strategies, the financial and social risk 
assessment of the topic, the short and long-term impact 
of the topic on stakeholders, the existing / developing 
regulations and standards around the topic were taken into 
consideration, and the positive and negative impacts of 
İşbank on Climate Action were evaluated. 

In the upcoming period, İşbank will continue its work by 
including stakeholder views in the materiality process in 
a more dynamic way. 

Materiality Steps

Step 1: Topic	list

Step 2: Evaluation of topics

Based on the 2021 topic list, a list 
of topics that may be important 
for İşbank was created. In the 
process, corporate strategies, 
changing legislation and 
standards, sectoral practices, 
corporate engagements, 
global trends, and stakeholder 
expectations were considered.

2.1. Evaluation of stakeholder expectations: 
The expectations of key stakeholders in the field 
of sustainability from İşbank were determined as a 
result of an evaluation of the results of expectation 
and satisfaction research organized for various 
stakeholder groups and media research.

2.2. Influence on business strategies: The 
significance level of the influence of the topics 
included in the list of topics on the Bank's 
business strategies was evaluated through 
comprehensive employee and manager 
meetings, corporate strategy and engagement 
requirements, results of benchmarking studies, 
and global trends.

2.3. İşbank’s impact on the topic: All topics 
were assessed in terms of the Bank's positive 
and negative social, economic, and environmental 
impacts on the topic, and the risks and 
opportunities the topic poses for the Bank and its 
stakeholders were explored.

Step 3: Selection of 
material topics:
The assessed topics were placed in 
the materiality matrix.

Step 4: Validation 
meetings:
The prepared matrix was approved 
by İşbank executives.

How do We Manage?

Combating 
Climate 
Change

Climate change is the most important issue facing the 
planet. Changing climate conditions are fundamentally 
altering the way of doing business in many sectors. 
Those at the bottom of the income pyramid are the 
most adversely affected by this rapid transformation. 
The transition to a “Green Economy” is among the 
most important agenda items of the global economy.

Business models that do not consider environmental risks show 
that companies will face resource issues in the medium and 
long term, and this, in turn, will create multidimensional risks for 
financial institutions. İşbank analyzes the risks and opportunities 
that the transition economy will create and aims to minimize 
the environmental impact of its own operations and financing 
activities while increasing the number and scope of products and 
services that support the green economy.

Financial 
Performance 
and Profitability

The turbulent global economy, rapidly changing 
risk matrices, and a changing and differentiating 
competitive environment are factors that make 
sustainable profitability difficult. Companies without 
stable financial performance have difficulty surviving 
in this conjuncture.

İşbank aims to create shareable and sustainable value for 
all its stakeholders through its brand which is identified with 
confidence in the sector, extensive shareholder and customer 
base, advanced international connections, and a well-managed 
risk approach.

Digital Banking

Increasing digitalization in the financial sector 
increases the accessibility of financial products and 
causes traditional banks to compete with fintechs. 

Banking and finance are among the sectors most affected by 
increasing digitalization and changing customer preferences. 
Banks that have difficulty understanding new trends and 
fail to offer inclusive products are pushed out from the 
competition. Therefore, improving digital banking activities and 
communication with customers are among İşbank's main goals.

Employee 
Rights, 
Commitment 
and 
Satisfaction

The changing business life after the pandemic has 
faced many developments that negatively affect 
employee engagement, such as the great resignation 
and silent resignation. High employee turnover and 
loss of talent are among the major operational risks 
affecting all sectors.

İşbank has always been a preferred employer for new graduates 
with its unique corporate culture. The Bank continues to retain its 
human resources through internal promotion systems and a rich 
training portfolio. İşbank meets changing employee expectations 
with its agile business models, hybrid working systems, and 
investments in employee development.

Equal 
Opportunity, 
Diversity and 
Gender Equality

Economic development is only possible if all 
segments of society participate in the economy on 
equal terms. In countries where women's participation 
in the economy is low, statistics on innovation and the 
distribution of national wealth also lag behind. 

As part of its banking approach, İşbank supports a participatory 
economy in which all segments of society contribute. The Bank 
believes it is an ethical and economic necessity for women to 
participate in the economy, assume managerial roles, and take 
part in social life as they wish. 

Cybersecurity 
and Customer 
Privacy

Increasing digitalization brings with it cyber threats. 
The loss or theft of important information poses 
serious threats to all individuals and organizations. 
It may result in data loss, security threats, business 
interruptions, and financial losses.

İşbank meticulously manages cybersecurity and customer 
information privacy due to the requirement to ensure trust in 
digital banking services, to ensure that next-generation banking 
services are preferred by customers, to protect corporate 
reputation, and to minimize legal risks.

Responsible 
Products and 
Services

Efficient Risk 
Management

Banking and finance are among the sectors most 
affected by changing customer preferences due to 
the impact of sustainability. Banks that have difficulty 
understanding new trends and fail to offer inclusive 
products and services that positively impact the 
environment and society are pushed out of the market 
and lose their competitive advantage.

İşbank develops products and services that are inclusive of all 
segments of society and the economy. Developing products 
that not only take into account the different life stages, economic 
needs, and sectoral requirements of its customers, but that are 
also easy to understand and support savings awareness is the 
basis of the Bank's understanding of delivering responsible 
products and services.

In the new global economy, the management of non-
financial risks is as important as financial risks. Many 
social and environmental risks such as compliance 
with regulations, risks arising from climate change, 
human resources risks, and reputational risks affect 
the sustainability of organizations.

At İşbank, the risk management process, which puts

“good corporate governance” to the forefront and ensures the 
segregation of units responsible for monitoring and controlling 
risk from executive functions, identifies risks in accordance 
with international regulations and manages financial and non-
financial risks together with banking-specific risk management 
principles.

The banking sector's main responsibility for 
climate action and responsible banking is to take 
environmental and social impact factors into 
consideration during loan allocation processes.

İşbank meticulously evaluates the environmental, social 
and governance risks caused by its lending activities. The 
Bank supports multi-partner initiatives in the sector to 
increase knowledge in this area.

Regulations in the banking and finance sector are 
diversifying every year. The reporting, compliance 
with ethical principles, and transparency obligations 
of institutions are increasing at the same rate. The 
risk of non-compliance is one of the leading risks that 
threaten all institutions.

Compliance with business ethics principles has always been 
among the uncompromising corporate priorities of İşbank. 
The Bank shapes all of its stakeholder relations in line with 
these principles. The Bank strives for full compliance with laws 
and regulations in all areas and regions in which it operates. 
The Bank manages its risks in this area through a corporate 
governance structure complying with international standards 
and numerous voluntary and mandatory reports.

Rapidly changing customer preferences due to the 
impact of sustainability, increasing access to financial 
services, and fintechs becoming competitors to 
traditional banks are developments that increase the 
importance of understanding changing customer 
expectations. Corporations that do not invest in this area 
may lose their competitive advantage in the market. 

İşbank endeavors to become a reliable partner that all 
customers can access when required and find easy to work with. 
In line with its strategy of being "the closest bank to customers", 
the Bank reviews all its systems and processes by looking at 
them from a customer-experience point of view.

Increasing access to financial products and enabling 
everyone to contribute to the economy are among the 
sustainable development goals and among the most 
important responsibilities of the banking and finance 
sector. 

İşbank aims to increase and ensure fair distribution of social 
welfare by developing products and services for all segments 
of society. The Bank supports entrepreneurship, transfers 
resources to SMEs, creates financing resources to increase the 
participation of women and youth in the economy, and strives to 
increase financial literacy.

Environmental 
Footprint

In combating climate change, all organizations are 
working to reduce their environmental footprint. 
Regardless of the sector, reducing environmental 
impacts has also  become an area of competition.

İşbank has set its target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 
and shared this target with its stakeholders within the scope of 
the CDP Climate Change Program reporting.

Contribution to 
social welfare

Brands that show sensitivity to social issues and 
establish a relationship with society, not only with their 
products but also with their values, gain a competitive 
advantage. They increase their legitimacy, brand value, 
and reputation in the eyes of society.

As one of the leading banks in Türkiye, İşbank plays a pioneering 
role in building a better society. Through its contribution to the 
national economy and long-term social responsibility projects, 
the Bank contributes to the dream of a better world for future 
generations.

The Future of 
Business and 
New Working 
Models

Alternative working models that increased with the 
pandemic have become permanent in many sectors. 
Remote working, hybrid working, and project-based 
business models are increasingly finding a place in 
traditional working life and are preferred by employees.

İşbank considers the needs and expectations of its employees 
while maintaining its well-established employer brand. Thanks to 
its robust technological infrastructure, the Bank supports remote 
working and hybrid working models. The Bank's ever-increasing 
number of agile working groups also creates significant value for 
next-generation employees who desire a dynamic working life.

sectors, and institutions are becoming increasingly 
responsible for the performance of their supply chains.

based on a win-win approach. The Bank works with companies 
that have norms equivalent to its corporate sustainability and 
ethical approach and carries out practices and training activities

the Global Compact, which was renewed in 2022, by 
becoming a member of the “early adopter” program 
before the mandatory transition process.

İşbank is a member of the Global Compact Türkiye 
Sustainable Finance Working Group. The group aims 
to raise awareness on the concept of sustainability 
across the real sector, especially in the Turkish finance 
sector, and mobilize the private sector to create the 
financial resources needed to achieve the Sustainable 
Development Goals.

İşbank is a signatory of Global Compact Türkiye's 
Declaration of Sustainable Finance, which was 
prepared by the Global Compact Türkiye Sustainable 
Banking and Finance Working Group. With this 
declaration, the signatory banks pledged to take 
environmental and social risks into consideration 
during loan assessment processes and support 
“innovative sustainable finance principles” for 
investments of USD 10 million and above. With this 
support, İşbank declared to not only take social and 
environmental risks into consideration during loan 
assessment processes but also to play a leading 
role in embracing an inclusive and sustainable 
finance approach that supports the development of 
sustainability-driven banking products as well as the 
growth of this market.

United Nations Environment Program Finance 
Initiative (UNEP FI) Principles of Responsible 
Banking (PRB)

The Principles of Responsible Banking introduced by the UNEP 
FI are intended to ensure alignment of the signatory banks 
with the vision set forth in the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement. 
These principles, which define the role that the banking 
sector can play to achieve a green and inclusive economy, 
are designed to maximize the influence of the banking sector 
on the efforts toward sustainable economic growth. Being a 
signatory of the UNEP FI Principles of Responsible Banking 
and a member of the UNEP FI, İşbank completed its portfolio 
impact analysis in 2022 and maintained its collaborative 
efforts in the UNEP FI working groups.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action that

cultural and ecological issues grouped under 17 main topics, 
such as ending hunger and poverty, combating climate 
change, gender equality, quality education, and responsible

Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA)

Environmental Initiatives

With more than 100 members from 40 countries, the 
Net-Zero Banking Alliance represents nearly 40% of 
global banking assets. The Alliance is critical to mobilizing 
the financial sector for climate action. Members of the 
Alliance: commit to aligning their portfolios with net-zero 
emissions targets by 2050, set scenario-based interim 
targets in priority sectors for 2030 or earlier, prioritize 
carbon-intensive sectors with the most significant impact 
when setting targets, set initial targets within 18 months 
of becoming a member, and disclose progress on the 
transition strategy set at a high level within one year of 
setting targets.

In April 2022, İşbank made a commitment to this 
alliance by taking a very important step to manage the 
impacts arising from its loan portfolio and set reduction 
targets. In order to reach net-zero targets by 2050, the 
Bank committed to supporting its customers' transition 
processes to a net-zero economy by focusing its 2030 
targets on carbon-intensive sectors and reporting and 
publishing its progress in emission targets on an annual 
basis. The Net-Zero Banking Alliance commitments, along 
with the Principles of Responsible Banking, will further 
increase the effectiveness of İşbank in fighting climate 
change.

CDP- Carbon Disclosure Project

CDP is an independent global organization that allows 
publicly-traded companies to disclose information to 
their investors about how they use natural resources 
and manage the risks in this area. İşbank has been 
transparently sharing its environmental goals and 
performance with its stakeholders within the scope of 
the CDP Climate Change Program since 2019. The Bank 
was awarded a score of “A-” Leadership level in the CDP 
Climate Change Program in 2022. İşbank also began 
to make disclosures as part of the CDP Water Security 
Program to report on its water usage as well as the actions 
taken to manage its impact on water resources in 2021, 
and its score in this area was "B" Management level in 
2022.

Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

The Science-Based Targets Initiative directs the private 
sector's climate action by enabling companies to set 
science-based emission reduction targets in order to keep 
the global temperature increase below 1.5⁰C and to meet 
the targets set in the Paris Climate Agreement. İşbank 
committed to basing its emission reduction targets on 
Science-Based Targets.

The UN Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs)

The UN Women's Empowerment Principles offer guidance 
to businesses on how to promote women's empowerment 
in the workplace and in the community. As a signatory of 
WEPs, İşbank assumes a role in promoting and facilitating 
the participation of women in employment.

Bloomberg Gender Equality Index

The Bloomberg Gender Equality Index (GEI), a 
capitalization-weighted variable market index that 
adopts transparency in data reporting and aims to 
monitor the performance of publicly traded companies, 
measures gender equality in five categories.

İşbank joined the GEI in 2022 and transparently reported 
its efforts on gender equality internationally.

İşbank and 
its Activities in 2022

Corporate Banking

International Banking

With corporate banking services, İşbank provides 
local corporations and international companies 
with services and financing solutions tailored to 
their needs.

>⃞■Products and Services: Project Financing, 
Risk Management Solutions (Hedging), Digital 
Solutions, Cash Flow Products

>⃞■Developments in 2022: In 2022, İşbank 
focused on sustainable profitability to respond 
to the end-to-end needs of its customers 
by considering ecosystem profitability. By 
deepening the ecosystem networks of 
legal entity customer groups, product and 
service infrastructures that digitalize cash 
flows, especially through next-generation 
digital banking and digital platforms, were 
effectively made available to customers. 
Innovative models were designed to deepen 
the extensive customer base, especially for 
regaining customers whose numbers initially 
had decreased. As a result of all these activities, 
a significant improvement was made in TL 
commercial deposits and commission income 
items at the end of 2022 compared to 2021.

Despite the volatility in the global and national 
conjuncture, in the business unit where TL/
FX cash loan investments were effectively 
managed, loan demands were met with a 
holistic profitability approach by considering the 
right priorities, keeping the asset quality in the 
forefront in a way to observe the sustainability of 
our current loan portfolio and Bank customers. 
In the funding approach, which prioritizes TL/
FX export loans which provide strong support 
to the portfolio and asset quality with their 
deepening and side income/earnings impact on 
the Bank’s customers, their high correlation with 
the economic growth activity of our country, and 
their relatively short-term structure compared to 
other loans, an optimum management approach 
was shown regarding loan maturity structures 
and durations.

İşbank collaborates with correspondent banks 
in processing foreign trade transactions and 
payments of its customers, and effectively 
manages correspondent bank relations 
according to the principle of reciprocity. The 
bank also aims to increase its share in the 
foreign trade market and obtain funds from 
internationalmarkets . In addition to foreign 
trade transactions, issuance of letters of 
guarantee, wire transfer services and TL account 
transactions to be processed in Türkiye upon 
demand of customers of correspondent banks, 
İşbank also fulfills other service demands in 
accordance with the applicable law. In order 
to ensure that its customers can complete 
their supply processes without interruption by 
facilitating their access to appropriate financing 
solutions and products according to their needs, 
İşbank maintains its efficient and sustainable 
collaborations with export insurance, credit 
agencies, and other financial organizations.

>⃞■Developments in 2022: As of year-end 
2022, İşbank had nearly 1,018 correspondent 
banks in 119 countries. Due to global inflationary 
pressures and the slowdown in the global 
economy, the importance of efforts to provide 
resources for customers’ energy efficiency 
projects increased. 

In parallel with the developments in the 
world and in the sector, İşbank secured two 
sustainability-linked syndication loans in June 
and November 2022, and, within this framework, 
set up various performance indicators related to 
environmental and social impact, as was done in 
the syndication loans secured in 2021.

Capital Markets Transactions

With its subsidiaries in capital markets, İşbank 
continues its brokerage services in capital market 
instruments such as equity markets, precious 
metals, derivatives and investment funds and 
offers custody and fund valuation services. As 
a customer-oriented bank, it also continues its 
product development and infrastructure projects to 
meet customer needs in the best way possible.

>⃞■Developments in 2022: To obtain long-term 
funding and diversify funding sources, the issuance 
of debt instruments was continued in 2022 as well.  

In 2022, İşbank continued to issue debt instruments 
of different types and maturities in order to provide 
long-term funding compared to deposits, diversify 
the existing funding structure, eliminate the maturity 
mismatch between asset-liability balance sheet 
items, and prevent interest rate risk due to short 
maturity.  

By the end of 2022, İşbank issued domestic 
commercial papers and bonds with a nominal 
value of TL 4.8 billion through sales to qualified 
investors and TL 4.9 billion through public offerings, 
contributing to the diversity of TL-denominated 
products offered to customers. İşbank maintained 
its leadership in the brokerage sector with a trade 
volume of TL 1.1 trillion in the Borsa İstanbul Debt 
Securities Market as of year-end 2022. 

Generating 8.30% of the trading volume in the 
Borsa İstanbul Equity Market with its subsidiary İş 
Investment as of year-end 2022, İşbank maintained 

its position among the leading institutions in the 
market. 

As of year-end 2022, the number of investment 
funds for which custody services were provided 
increased by 46% and their size by 121% compared 
to the same period of the previous year. The Bank 
continues to play a leading role in the sector in 
terms of the number of investment funds and asset 
management companies it works with.

The investment fund balance, which stood at 
TL 25.7 billion at the end of 2021, increased by 
93% to TL 49.6 billion in 2022 as a result of the 
intense demand of customers seeking returns. In 
2023, when this investor interest is expected to 
continue, in order to increase asset management 
commission revenues and provide customers with 
real return opportunities in a negative real interest 
rate environment, the Bank aims to organize regular 
investment fund sales campaigns together with its 
subsidiary İş Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş through its efforts 
to develop new products in investment funds, to 
improve channel-based customer experience, 
and to continuously train and activate sales and 
marketing functions.  The balance of equities, 
which stood out as the investment product in which 
customers showed the most interest in 2022, 
increased by 207% in 2022, reaching TL 157.5 
billion. In addition to the balance, the remarkable 
increase in the volume of customer share 
transactions in 2022 made a positive contribution 
to the Bank’s commission income.

of digital banking are to engage in contextual 
interaction with customers, offer personalized and 
innovative services, and provide an end-to-end

Treasury Management 

>⃞■Developments in 2022: The Treasury operations 
were managed according to the principles of the 
Asset/Liability Management Risk Policy, in parallel 
to the liquidity, interest and exchange rate risks, the 
principles of sustainable profitability, and the Bank’s 
risk appetite. Potential risks that may arise from the 
interest rate structure and İşbank’s FC position, which 
is managed as an important element of the liquidity 
composition, were followed up ad-hoc and on a 
scenario basis, alongside other interrelated positions. 
Effective risk management was exercised by utilizing 
derivative products, along with money and capital 
markets products depending on market conditions.

İşbank's main goal is to optimize the risk-return 
balance and reinforce its balance sheet structure 
through a sustainable and profitable growth strategy 
by focusing on loan and investment portfolios, 
effective use of capital, and dynamic management 

of FC and liquidity positions as well as cost control. 
Accordingly, the Bank created a flexible balance 
sheet composition by taking into consideration all 
elements, including expansion of the deposit base, 
i.e. the main source of funding, and diversification 
of non-deposit sources, optimization of risk-return 
balance, and fulfillment of customer needs.

In the first quarter of 2022, the main agenda was 
dominated by exchange rate-protected deposits, 
in the second quarter by the macroprudential 
measures implemented in coordination with the 
HMB, CBRT, BRSA and CMB, and in the third 
quarter by the increase in the weight of these 
measures and additional liabilities introduced as 
part of the “Liraization” strategy. Loan, collateral, and 
liquidity policy steps focused on strengthening the 
effectiveness of the monetary policy transmission 
mechanism had an impact on the balance sheet 
management decisions of banks.

Personal Banking

İşbank's activities in the field of personal banking 
are shaped around the principal target of "becoming 
the customers' financial solution partner of choice 
in every stage of their lives”. The Bank's operations 
are built on a single strategy: to obtain a timely and 
accurate understanding of the customers' needs in 
order to offer them the best possible solution and 
experience.

In large-scale infrastructure investments are financed 
by İşbank, corporate social responsibility budgets are 
allocated to projects to eliminate or mitigate potential 
negative impacts that may arise due to investments, and 
positive impacts are increased by developing processes 
for the benefit of stakeholders in the impact area of 
the projects. In particular, loss of livelihoods due to land 
acquisition and forced resettlement are among the most 
common impacts of investments. Individuals and groups 
affected by the project are identified and classified 
through the “Replacement Plan” and “Restructuring of 
Livelihoods” plans, and appropriate action is taken to 
eliminate impacts.

For highway projects, the Bank developed various social 
responsibility projects such as upgrading the roads, 
schools and water pipelines in villages located along the 
route of the highway, donating agricultural machinery, 
providing seed support, offering art development training 
programs for women stakeholders and supporting 
education via specific annual budgets for villages that 
rely on agricultural activities.

The most common impacts of financed investments 
include loss of livelihood and forced resettlement due 
to land acquisition. As a result of the expropriation or 
consolidation of privately owned lands in a number 
of investments, some households were subjected to 
compulsory replacement or significant loss of livelihoods 
due to the relocation of workplaces. For those projects 
subject to financing at international standards, individuals 
and groups affected by the project were identified 
and classified through the “Replacement Plan” and 
“Restructuring of Livelihoods” plans, and appropriate 
action was taken to eliminate impacts.

health and safety, working conditions, job conditions, 
OHS management systems, forced resettlement, loss of 
livelihoods, stakeholder communication, gender equality, 
sexual harassment, and discrimination.

assigned the risk score A (high risk) based on the 
Environmental and Social Risk Evaluation are subject 
to an impact evaluation, including the Social Impact 
Assessment (SIA), in accordance with the requirements 
of international standards.

Climate Change 
Risk Management

Risks arising from climate change are radically affecting 
business practices and risk matrices across all sectors. 
If financial institutions do not closely monitor these 
changes and provide the necessary internal controls, 
they may face significant commercial risks and fail to take 
advantage of the opportunities created by the transition 
economy. 

İşbank takes into account all risks (including transition 
risks and physical risks and the subcategories thereof) 
arising from climate change. These risks are prioritized 
based on a qualitative and quantitative assessment.

Climate-related risks and opportunities are addressed in 
the Business Program, which includes the Bank's annual 
targets, and in the Strategic Plan document, which is 
prepared with a longer-term perspective, as part of 
efforts to integrate sustainability goals and policies into 
business conduct.

 􀯽To be a guiding business partner in enabling 
customers to develop adaptability to market 
dynamics that will affect their activities, such as Green 
Deal and carbon border adjustment,

 􀯽Playing a leading role in the green transformation of 
the national economy within the framework of Net-
Zero Banking Alliance membership,

 􀯽Increasing the share of sustainability-themed loans 

and resources in the balance sheet,

 􀯽Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy 

consumption, vehicle fuel consumption, and waste,

 􀯽Diversifying and increasing the volume of 

environmental financing products that reflect İşbank’s 
responsible banking approach and similar factors 
aiming to mitigate climate-related risks and seize 
opportunities.

The Climate Change Risk Policy sets out the principles 
and procedures to be followed for detecting, identifying, 
assessing, measuring, monitoring, controlling, reporting 
and managing the climate change risks the Bank may be 
exposed to in connection with its activities.  The Climate 
Change Risk Policy is an integral part of the Bank's other 
Risk Policies.

A large portion of the Bank's exposure to climate risk arises 
from its customers in the commercial loan portfolio. For the 
measurement of this risk, the commercial loan portfolio covering 
all sectors is considered and analyzed. A two-stage approach is 
followed to assess the exposure of the loan portfolio to climate 
risks:

 公 A sectoral climate change risk heat map 
is used to identify the sectors that should 
be prioritized when assessing climate 
change risk. The 5-level risk scale is used 
to determine to what extent each sector is 
exposed to climate risks. 

 典 A scenario analysis enables an impact 

analysis to be performed for risk events in 
sectors with high and medium-high climate 
risk levels identified by the heat map. The 
adopted scenario analysis approach is 
prepared in accordance with the climate 
change methodology followed by the 
United Nations Environment Program - 
Finance Initiative (UNEP-FI) and the climate 
scenarios created by TCFD. 

The main purpose of climate change risk management 
is to ensure that the Bank's activities and practices are 
aligned with its climate change strategy. Responsibilities 
for management of climate change risk have been 
defined in the form of a triple defense line. The role of the 
first line of defense is basically to ensure that the loan 
decisions are made by considering the climate change 
risks during the loan allocation process. The second 
line of defense determines the working principles, rules, 
policies and requirements in relation to the climate 
change risk. The third line of defense, within its existing 
roles and responsibilities, offers reassurance to the Board 
of Directors that the structure described here functions 
properly.

İşbank has added the indicator “Share of Sectors With 
High Climate Change Risk Within Total Commercial 
Portfolio” to the solo risk appetite framework to prevent 
the concentration of sectors with a high exposure to 
climate change risks within the portfolio and provide 
guidance for composition of the portfolio in subsequent 
periods. This indicator is monitored monthly and reported 
quarterly.

The impact of a possible carbon tax or carbon trading 
system implementation on İşbank is measured through 
scenario analyses. With this method, the financial data 
of loan customers operating in sectors that are exposed 
to high transition risks and are expected to be most 
affected by such regulations, especially in the energy 
generation sector, are subjected to stress tests by taking 
into account the additional liabilities mentioned, and the 
possible effects of changes in the creditworthiness of 
the customers on the Bank's balance sheet are analyzed. 
Financing assessments are also carried out to contribute 
to the reduction of carbon emissions of sectors such 
as cement, iron-steel, aluminum, fertilizer, and energy, 
which will be primarily affected by the EU Carbon Border 
Adjustment.

Partnerships for Climate Action

İşbank has been reporting since 2019 within the scope 
of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) which allows 
companies to report to investors how they manage 
their activities aiming to reduce carbon emissions and 
their risks related to climate change.  The Bank raised its 
rating to “(A-) Leadership” in 2022. In 2023 and beyond, 
the Bank aims to maintain its leadership level rating by 
continuing its efforts to manage climate change risks and 
seize opportunities.

İşbank joined the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) in 
2022. The Net-Zero Banking Alliance brings together 
122 banks from 41 countries under the umbrella of the 
United Nations, representing approximately 40% of 
global banking assets and committing to align their loan 
and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 
2050. With the NZBA commitment, İşbank aims to seize 
the opportunities that will arise during the transition to a 
green economy, support customers' ESG transformation, 
manage risks associated with climate change, and to 
position itself as a guiding business partner to improve 
companies' adaptability to regulations that will affect 
economic activity, such as the European Union Green 
Deal/carbon border tax. This membership also imposes 
a number of obligations on İşbank. In order to reach 
net-zero targets by 2050, the Bank is committed to 
supporting its customers' transition processes to a 
net-zero economy by focusing its 2030 targets on 
carbon-intensive sectors and to reporting and publishing 
its progress in emission targets on an annual basis.

İşbank has also committed to confirming its emission 
reduction targets under the Science Based Targets 
(SBT).

İşbank aims to align its operations with the UN 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris 
Climate Agreement targets through its signature of the 
United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative 
(UNEP FI) Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB). 
The ‘Principles for Responsible Banking’, which are 
expected to make a significant contribution to the United 
Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris 
Agreement targets, focus on six areas: Alignment, Impact, 
Customers, Stakeholders, Governance and Goal Setting, 
and Transparency and Accountability.

􀾑You can access İşbank's Impact Report within the 
scope of UNEP Principles for Responsible Banking at
https://www.isbank.com.tr/bankamizi-taniyin/Documents/
yatirimci-iliskileri/raporlarimiz/prb/PRB2021.pdf. 

İşbank also supports sector-based partnerships on 
climate action. İmece Workshops are organized where 
representatives from many different branches such as 
universities, private sector, entrepreneurs, associations, 
and public administrators come together with public 
authorities to discuss issues on climate, misuse of 
water, deforestation, and misapplication of agricultural 
techniques, and these issues are evaluated together with 
all parties. İmece Workshops contribute to the sector 
with their carefully selected participants and workshop 
outputs. Within this scope, two İmece Workshops were 
organized in October and December of 2022, with 
the theme of Water and Wheat, respectively. İşbank is 
one of the project stakeholders of the Izmir Agricultural 
Technology Center, which was launched under the 
leadership of the Izmir Commodity Exchange to 
contribute to the continuation of agriculture in harmony 
with changing conditions and to develop new and 
effective technologies. This center aims to become 
an R&D base for agricultural technologies. Among the 
center’s goals is to ensure the continuous development 
of agricultural technologies and increase the interest of 
young people in agriculture.

The European Fund for Southeast Europe S.A (EFSE) 
is funding a joint project for Türkiye's agricultural sector 
under a consultancy services agreement with Finance 
in Motion Gmbh (FiM), a German financial institution. 
Within the project, work is ongoing to measure the 
carbon footprint of wheat, barley, sunflower, and corn 
producers. Within the cooperation, the Bank contributed 
to the financing of various trainings for bank employees 
as well as producers in the agricultural ecosystem, 
farmer meetings and events, which aim to contribute 
to sustainable agriculture such as İmece Workshops, 
organized on different topics. Within this scope, in 2022, 
5 “Hero Product Trainings” and preparation of reports 
on these products, in-bank technical training, 2 “İmece 
Workshops”, 15 “Farmer Meetings” and agricultural 
calendars for 3 products were realized.

“Green Transformation Meetings at SMEs” are organized 
in Organized Industrial Zones with the aim to inform 
SMEs about sustainability, to convey the opportunities 
therein, and to raise awareness.

Management of Water Risks

Water-related risks to which İşbank is exposed are 
assessed holistically within the framework of corporate 
risk management. Water risks related to “physical 
damage” in terms of the Bank's own operations are 
evaluated under the “Physical Damage/Risk” category 
of operational and climate change risk classifications. 
These risks, such as damage to assets as a result of 
heavy rains and floods, are assessed within the scope 
of Top-Down Risk Assessment, which is an approach 
used to assess and prioritize operational risks that may 
arise during the conduct of operations. The Bank also 
conducts an annual “Environmental Risk Assessment” for 
its direct operations, including water, waste management, 
compliance with legal obligations, employee health and 
safety, and other water risks related to suppliers.  

Key stakeholders in the İşbank ecosystem include 
employees, customers, investors, regulatory authorities, 
suppliers, and the local communities in which we 
operate. These stakeholders are taken into account in 
water-related risk assessments.

One of the main risks that could significantly affect the 
Bank's operations is damage to the Bank's assets and/
or customer assets (e.g. assets in safe deposit boxes) 
located in the Bank's premises due to the increased 
frequency of extreme weather events such as floods due 
to climate change. In addition, İşbank is also exposed to 
a number of water-related risks through its customers. 
One of the most important of these risks is the loss of 
value of real estate in the Bank's collateral portfolio due 
to events that may occur in the short and long term, such 
as severe floods and sea water rise. 

İşbank also evaluates the potential environmental 
and social (E&S) impacts of the investment projects it 
finances. All projects are evaluated within the scope of 
national laws and regulations. In all projects financed 
by İşbank, customers must comply with the relevant 
regulations. At İşbank, all potential ESG risks of all new 
investments are evaluated according to the ÇESMOD 
system.  Water-related risks examined through this 
model are under three main headings: water source, 
wastewater, and resource consumption.

In order to reduce the effects of water-related risks, 
İşbank expects project companies to measure water 
quality at the intervals set out in applicable regulations 
and to report on the use of water and resource efficiency.  

Management of Forest Risks

Companies that use forest products as raw materials 
in their processes must comply with the provisions of 
national forest laws. In all projects financed by İşbank, 
customers are required to comply with national laws and 
regulations on forestry. İşbank evaluates the potential ESG 
risks of projects according to the ÇESMOD methodology.

With the ÇESMOD methodology, critical habitat and 
sensitive areas evaluation and balancing strategy studies 
are taken into consideration in order to conduct an 
assessment of forest-related risks. Based on these factors, 
İşbank considers the project's environmental impact in 
terms of deforestation and use of forests. For example, 
large-scale highway projects are classified as high-risk (A) 
projects as they use a significant amount of land. İşbank 
requires project companies to take certain measures, such 
as re-locating trees around the project area to appropriate 
areas and/or planting trees in place of any trees cut down, 
in order to eliminate negative effects of the investment in 
sensitive areas.

Tree planting commitments are taken from projects, 
particularly linear projects and thermal power plants. 
These commitments are included in contracts and 
monitored annually.

Management of Biodiversity Risks

While risk categories are identified as part of the 
Environmental and Social Impact Evaluations done by 
İşbank, biological risks are evaluated on a per-project 
basis. A Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) is requested for 
projects with Risk A category and high biodiversity risks.

In the ÇESMOD question set, the need for a critical 
habitat assessment and balancing strategy study 
for all relevant projects is examined. In addition, on a 
sectoral basis, additional impact questions such as bat 
habitat, bird migration routes and biodiversity issues are 
considered.

Environmental and Social 
Risk Management in Loans

Factors such as those listed above, the scope of which 
is set out in the applicable laws and regulations, are 
evaluated and scored using questions specifically 
developed based on the activities of the company being 
evaluated. Based on the answers given, the risk level of 
the project is determined, e.g. high (A), medium high (B+), 
medium low (B-) and low (C). A "Project Environmental 
and Social Evaluation Document" is prepared based on 
national and international legislation and good practices 
(e.g. IFC Performance Standards, EBRD Performance 
Requirements, Equator Principles), and the document 
is then added to the loan folder which is submitted for 
approval.

For all projects deemed eligible based on the evaluations 
conducted by the Sustainable Finance (SF) team, 
including but not limited to those projects which are 
classified by İşbank as high-risk (risk category A), an 
independent environmental consultant is assigned to act 
on behalf of the Bank. The independent environmental 
consultant conducts field visits and literature research 
to determine the current status of the project and its 
possible environmental and social impact. As a result 
of this work, an Environmental and Social Status 
Evaluation (ESSE), which describes the current status 
and applicability of any permission / approval process 
regarding environmental obligations as well as the 
consultant's comments, and an Environmental and 
Social Action Plan (ESAP), which describes how to limit 
and eliminate this impact and manage the process, 
are drawn up and submitted to the Bank. When 
deemed necessary, the consultant is requested to 
carry out periodic monitoring studies on these ESAP 
items throughout the loan term. In projects where an 

At İşbank, new investment projects with an 
investment value over USD 10 million are subjected 
to the Environmental and Social Risk Evaluation Tool 
(ÇESMOD).

The ERET model, which İşbank had used since 2013 
to calculate the Environmental and Social Risk Score 
of investments, was replaced in 2021 by ÇESMOD 
(Environmental and Social Model), an Environmental and 
Social Risk Evaluation Model that is more closely aligned 
with the global standards of risk measurement and can 
be tailored according to the type of investment. In 2022, 
the transition process from ERET was completed, and 
the new model was put into use.

With the ÇESMOD Model, E&S risk scores for 
investments financed by the Bank are calculated 
with initial evaluations conducted with specific sets 
of questions based on the type of investment, e.g. 
new facility development, capacity expansion and/or 
additional facilities or refinancing/procurement, followed 
by evaluations conducted with specific sets of questions 
based on the sector in question

Sets of questions based on type of investment 
and sector: 

 䬏 EIA decisions, environmental permits, environmental 

and/or social impact evaluation, 

 䬏 Nature preserve, critical habitat and ecosystem 

evaluations,

 䬏 Earthquake risk, 

 䬏 Natural resource use, 

 䬏 Waste management, 

 䬏 Air, soil and water quality, 

 䬏 Noise and dust, 

 䬏 Occupational health and safety, public health and 

safety, 

 䬏 Management of chemicals, 

 䬏 Involuntary displacement and stakeholder engagement 

independent environmental consultant is not appointed, 
ESSE, ESAP and monitoring activities are carried out by 
İşbank SF service specialists if necessary.

In the newly created ÇESMOD model, sector-based 
questions are asked about both groundwater and 
surface water resources, and risk scores are determined 
accordingly. Where necessary, forest and water-related 
permits are requested from companies on a project 
basis. Within the scope of the EIA regulation, IFC 
Performance Standards, Equator Principles and EBRD 
Performance Criteria, İşbank also assesses how the 
project affects biodiversity and nature preserves.

In 2022, 166 investments were subjected to 
Environmental and Social Risk Evaluation. A total of 106 
projects were financed between 2013 and 2022.

Sustainability Analysis System 
(SÜRAS)

Since 2012, İşbank has been assessing environmental 
and social risks in projects with a total investment amount 
above a certain limit in order to manage the impact 
it creates through its loan portfolio. Regardless of the 
amount of financing, the Environmental and Social Risk 

Evaluation Tool (ÇESMOD) is being used to determine the 
environmental and social risk categories of projects with a 
total investment value of more than USD 10 million, and a 
roadmap is being created to eliminate or limit the possible 
negative impacts of the investment as much as possible 
according to the assigned risk category. 

However, as climate change and its increasing risks 
are becoming more evident, there is a need to improve 
existing ways of doing business and review them in line 
with international best practices. In this context, in addition 
to the investment types evaluated within the scope of 
the ÇESMOD, a process for assessing environmental 
and social risks across the commercial loan portfolio 
was designed and put into operation in 2022. The 
new process, called the Sustainability Analysis System 
(SÜRAS), includes;  

 ᆔ“Environmental and Social Question Set”, which 

enables companies to determine the environmental 
and social risks and 

 ᆔ “Climate Change Question Set”, which enables the 
companies to determine awareness and resilience 
levels on climate change risks.

Activities Not Financed
İşbank rejects any loan applications for activities on 
the İşbank Exclusion List, which the Bank names in 
the annex to its Environmental and Social Impacts 
Policy, without even taking them into consideration. 
Among activities not financed by the Bank are 
investments involving forced labor and child 
employment, the production of weapons of mass 
destruction and landmines, and the production and 
trading of internationally prohibited chemicals, drugs or 
substances that are harmful to the ozone layer.

Loans for financing greenfield investments of coal- and 
natural gas-fired thermal power plants to be established 
for electricity generation and new coal mine investments 
are included in the İşbank Exclusion List. In 2022, 
gold mining using cyanide, and activities prohibited 
by national legislation and international conventions 
regarding the protection of biodiversity resources and 
cultural heritage were also added to the activities not 
financed.

Products and Services 
Contributing to a Green Economy

Climate change brings many opportunities as well 
as risks. With the financing allocated to support the 
transition economy, it is possible to develop creative 
products and processes to combat climate change. In 
order to be a good companion for its customers in a 
green economy, İşbank develops numerous products 
and services that support a green economy.

İşbank Group is in the energy business

In 2022, İşbank Group established İş Enerji 
Yatırımları A.Ş. to create an integrated energy 
portfolio, primarily in electricity generation and 
trade. İşbank Group aims to further expand its 
fields of activity by incorporating the energy 
sector, particularly electricity generation.

İş Enerji aims to participate in facilities and 
companies engaged in the generation and 
trade of electrical energy, primarily based on 
renewable energy sources such as hydraulic, 
wind, and solar energy.

Having made a significant contribution to 
Türkiye’s annual electricity generation with 
the loan support provided to the electric 
energy sector to date, İşbank Group has also 
assumed the role of investor in the sector with its 
shareholdings in renewable energy power plants 
with an installed capacity of over 800 MW.

􀄍Financing Renewable Energy

The transition to renewable energy sources is among 
the most important steps of climate action. Renewable 
energy investments also provide significant economic 
benefits through the new business lines created. It 
is essential that renewable energy investments and 
technologies are supported to ensure an increase of 
renewable sources in energy generation. İşbank is one of 
the pioneering institutions in financing renewable energy 
projects in our country. All new project financing provided 
by the Bank for electricity generation investments after 
2015 has been allocated to renewable energy projects.

The number of renewable energy projects financed 
during the year is 162, and the loan amount provided to 
these projects is USD 544 million.

All new project financing provided by İşbank for the 
energy generation sector in 2022 consists of renewable 
energy projects.  In line with its commitment to allocate 
100% of its new investment loans for the energy 
generation sector to renewable energy investments, 
the Bank aims to increase the ratio of renewable energy 
loans to total electricity generation loans even more from 
its level of 75%.

􀄍Cooperation with International Financial 
Institutions for a Green and Sustainable 
Economy

Since 2008, İşbank has been obtaining medium-long-
term, special-purpose financing from international 
financial institutions such as the European Investment 
Bank (EIB), European Bank for Reconstruction and 
Development (EBRD), Proparco, U.S. International 
Development Finance Corporation (DFC (formerly known 
as OPIC)), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), 
and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in 
order to finance the sectors and activities that contribute 
to sustainability. Besides energy efficiency and renewable 
energy projects, these resources are also used to finance 
female entrepreneurs, SMEs, agricultural enterprises and 
businesses located in priority development regions.

The Bank also supports the economy by increasing 
awareness and efficiency in the use of resources through 
technical consultancy and training received from financial 
institutions.

Closely following developments in the field of sustainable 
finance, İşbank evaluates the new financing needs of its 
customers and continues to provide resources for projects 
that are feasible and comply with lending principles and 
environmental and social standards. The total amount 
of loan agreements signed with international financial 
institutions within the sustainable framework during the 
year is USD 327 million.

􀈹You can find the list of funds obtained by İşbank 
from international financial institutions and that were 
outstanding as of 2022 in the Table of Outstanding 
Loans from International Financial Institutions.

􀄍The sustainability-linked syndication loans 

İşbank secured two sustainability-linked syndication 
loans amounting to EUR 483 million and USD 257 
million in June 2022 and EUR 330.5 million and USD 191 
million in November 2022.

􀄍New resources for green transformation 
and a sustainable economy

Within the scope of the securitization program based 
on foreign remittance flows (“Diversified Payment 
Rights”), the Bank obtained a total of USD 227 million 
in funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction 
and Development (EBRD) and the International Finance 
Corporation (IFC) in August 2022, with a final maturity of 
5 years.

The USD 127 million in funding provided by the EBRD 
will be used to finance women-led businesses as well as 
renewable energy and resource efficiency investments. 
The USD 100 million in funding provided by the IFC, 
on the other hand, will be used to finance mortgages, 
including green mortgages.

In September 2022, İşbank signed a USD 100 million 
loan agreement with the Asian Infrastructure Investment 
Bank (AIIB) and realized its first transaction with the 
relevant institution.  This 5-year term loan will be used to 
finance SMEs and small-scale corporate firms affected 
by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Karapınar YEKA SPP project

Within the scope of the Karapınar YEKA SPP 
project, which is planned to be established in 
the Karapınar district of Konya province with an 
installed capacity of 1,000 MWe, financing was 
provided by our Bank and the environmental 
and social risks of the project were evaluated. 
The risk score was B+.

The Environmental and Social Risk Governance 
System “ESRG” was developed to audit project 
activities. The ESRG consists of Kalyon Enerji’s 
policies, project assessment documentation, 
project-specific management plans, supporting 
thematic sub-plans, and reporting templates to 
monitor progress. The ESRG will be supported 
by management plans to be prepared. 
The ESRG framework is compatible with 
ISO14001:2015 Environmental management 
and OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health 
and Safety management requirements.

In addition, within the framework of the risk 
category, on behalf of the lenders, a private 
firm has been assigned to provide services 
on behalf of the Banks to carry out an 
environmental and social impact evaluation 
study within the scope of the Karapınar SPP 
Project, as per local legislation and regulations, 
Equator Principles, IFC Performance Standards, 
EBRD Performance Criteria, and international 
best practices, and an Environmental and Social 
Status Evaluation (ESSE) for permits, licenses, 
and legal requirements for the Project and an 
Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) for 
managing the identified impacts were prepared. 
Within this framework, the monitoring of the 
actions to be taken to limit the environmental 
and social impacts of the Project will be carried 
out by the audit firm through site visits every 
six months during the construction period and 
annually during the operation period, and these 
reports will be disclosed to the lenders within 
the same periods; the loan agreement will be 
conditioned on the outputs of these reports 
being in line with the company's commitments 
and, where necessary, the implementation of 
appropriate actions.

It was determined that the activities carried out 
serve Sustainable Development Goals 7.1, 7.2, 
8.4, 8.5, 8.7, 12.5, 13.3, 17.3, and 17.7.

NAYS

Customer journeys have evolved with advancing 
technology, and consumers’ expectations from 
financial applications have accordingly evolved 
into contextualized and personalized experiences. 
As many technology companies and technology-
based platforms have become able to offer 
financial services, it has become essential to 
design new experience journeys. 

 the NAYS, which was launched 2022, application 
targets customers who are highly technology 
savvy, open to innovation, and want to receive 
lean services. The application, in which the 
most needed financial services in daily life are 
offered with an easy, innovative, and entertaining  
experience, was designed with insights from 
potential users. Aiming to reach individuals, 
especially the young segment between the ages 
of 18-25 who are looking for an easier experience

by adding savings and investment products to 
its free money sending and receiving service, 
advantageous shopping opportunities, flexible 
borrowing opportunities, and gamified earning

Open Banking

The Bank began API development activities according 
to the standards published in preparation for compliance 
with the open banking legislation. In this context, , the 
Bank aims to make İşCep and the Internet Branch the 
primary channel through which customers will prefer to 
consolidate their financial transactions. 

İşbank aims to expand the variety of APIs and the 
number of integrations to include strategic products in 
order to deliver the most suitable products at 3rd party 
contact points with smooth experiences to its customers 
when they need them. With the possibility to integrate 
digital customer acquisition with 3rd parties, the number 
of new digital customers and digital product sales will 
increase. Solutions will be provided for the financial 
needs of small players who do not yet have sufficient 
technical knowledge and resources for API integration, 
with products that use the İşbank API infrastructure 
and can be easily integrated. Within this framework, 
highlighting API services that will be offered outside 
İşbank channels will contribute positively to the future of 
the Bank.

Therefore, within the scope of API developments and 
integration efforts made, the Bank maintained its position 
as the bank with the highest number of integrations 
among competing banks, and continued to be among 
the leading banks in terms of API diversity. 

In line with open banking, which has been adopted with 
the vision of “banking anywhere”, a total of 62 APIs were 
developed, and 96 different integrations were realized 
through the APIs developed. The volume of financial 
transactions through APIs exceeded TL 180 billion. 

Within the scope of the CBRT open banking regulations, 
which became mandatory on February 28, 2023, 
account information and payment initiation services 
were made available to authorized third-party institutions 
in the form of APIs, and work was completed to display 
other bank accounts included in the system on our 
İşCep and Internet Branch channels in a consolidated 
manner and to initiate payment transactions from these 
accounts.   

Within the scope of BRSA service banking regulations, 
personal and commercial lending scenarios will be 
implemented following BRSA approval. As the BRSA’s 
circular on establishing a remote contractual relationship 
and transaction authorization is expected to be finalized, 
the approval process is on hold by the BRSA. After 
approval, the Bank will be one of the first banks to provide 
service model banking.

Paperless Banking

With the digital approval of product contracts 
and application forms, the opening of non-Bank 
Registered Electronic Mail (KEP) delivery to 
the entire Bank, and the introduction of digital 
signatures on receipts, 190 million✓ pages of 
paper were saved in 2022 with an increase of 
175% with respect to 2021, and TL 22 million 
was saved in paper cost with an increase of 
192% compared to last year. 

With the digitalization of various contracts, 
1.56 million contracts, equivalent to 21.6 million 
pages, were saved annually. It was determined 
that this operation saved TL 6.6 million in a 
6-month period.

Developments in Payment Systems

With the perspective of “banking anywhere”, efforts to 
address the daily needs of our customers are deployed 
digitally and/or physically through business partnerships 
in different sectors.  

Accordingly, the projects and applications deployed in 
the	field	of	card	applications	are	as	follows:

 􀯽In order to ensure that real person merchant 

customers can complete their commercial credit card 
applications with an end-to-end digital experience, 
customers can view and approve the Commercial 
Credit Card Membership Agreement on İşCep for 
commercial credit card applications made by logging 
in to İşCep, and the application can be completed 
upon approval of the agreement. In addition to making 
the lives of İşbank customers easier, this project also 
contributes to the Bank’s paperless banking and 
sustainability goals. 

 􀯽POAŞ Dealer cards have begun to be produced 

digitally. 

 􀯽With the Maximum Business+ product, İşbank 

contributed to the reduction of the operations with 
customers and branches regarding the payments 
to be made to the vendor by obtaining a certificate 
of expenditure when it is necessary to check the 
purpose of the lending in loans extended for the cash 
needs of customers.

 􀯽The  İmece Card Application and Allocation Flow 

via İşCep was launched, and within the framework 
of the flow, it became possible to allocate İmece 
Cards up to a limit of TL 50 thousand to real person 
farmers who are İşbank customers by using the 
Instant Commercial Loan decision engine, and to 
simultaneously produce and deliver them to the 
branches of their choice.

 􀯽The ability to use Miles while shopping at certain 

stores has been provided.

 􀯽Credit card ready limit allocation was launched on 

İşCep.

We deployed the following projects and applications 
in	the	field	of	contracted	merchants:	

 􀯽In 2022, by being integrated with transportation 

infrastructure providers in various cities of Türkiye, it 
became possible to use contactless credit and debit 
cards as transportation cards by scanning them 
through the Bank’s contracted merchant system.

 􀯽Acceptance	of	UnionPay	QR	Method	on	İşbank	

Physical	POS	Terminals: As part of the agreement 
between İşbank and UnionPay International since 
2020, the Maximum İşyerim app can accept QR 
payments via UnionPay's mobile app. Thanks to the 
developments in the payment acceptance methods 
introduced in 2022, Ingenico POS devices can accept 
payments in Euro, USD, and TL via the UnionPay QR 
code method.

 􀯽“POS’um	Cepte”	App: In addition to the speed and 
convenience it provides, contactless payment is 
also preferred in terms of hygiene. Therefore, with 
the Maximum İşyerim app, it is now possible to turn 
an NFC-enabled Android mobile phone into a POS 
terminal for accepting contactless payments. In 2022, 
the Pos’um Cepte App was provided with multi-
terminal and employee payment functions; thus, the 
mobility of the application was increased by enabling 
company employees to receive payments without the 
requirement of being a Bank customer.

 􀯽Moka Super POS (Virtual) Campaign: The Moka 

Super POS (Virtual) Campaign, which enables small 
and medium-sized companies to make installments 
to different bank cards with a single virtual POS, 
started to be offered to our customers through the 
İşCep and Commercial Internet Branch. 

 􀯽Payment	Collection	with	TR	QR	Code:  it will be 

possible to create QR Codes in the "TR QR Code" 
format on POS terminals and Maximum İşyerim

Digital Loan Developments

Digitalization in Business Processes

İşbank aims to increase employee productivity by 
digitalizing its repetitive, low value-added processes 
that have a high risk of error. In 2022, many processes 
were digitalized, saving time and reducing environmental 
impact.

In 2022;

 􀯽With the Customer Embedding project, an Artificial 
Intelligence model that creates digital twins of our 
customers was developed. By using the outputs of 
this model as input in various artificial intelligence 
projects, we aim to increase customer satisfaction 
and develop more suitable products and services for 
customers.

 􀯽Screen enhancements were completed in order 
to monitor and track investments for which the 
ÇESMOD was completed, and a score was created. 
Within this scope, an application was designed 
to monitor the ÇESMOD and action plans of 
investments.

 􀯽According to İşbank’s Articles of Incorporation, Board 
of Directors meetings can also be held electronically. 
Accordingly, the Electronic Board of Directors 
System (e-YKS), which will enable shareholders to 
participate and vote in these meetings electronically, 
was purchased from Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu A.Ş. and 
installed.

 􀯽It is planned that e-YKS, which was implemented 

as a pilot in 2022, will be officially put into use as of 
January 1, 2023, and that Board of Directors and 
Board Committee decisions will be submitted to the 
approval of the members via e-YKS and the electronic 
signatures (e-signature/mobile signature) of the 
members will be obtained. Thus, it will be possible to 
carry out these processes, all of which are carried out 
on paper, within the framework of paperless banking 
and digitalization principles.

 􀯽Thanks to projects such as Smart Legislation Search 
and Letter of Guarantee Matching, developed with 
Artificial Intelligence Natural Language Processing 
algorithms, applications were developed to support 
İşbank employees in their labor-intensive work, 
reduce human error, and gain speed.

In order to acquire potential customers looking for housing 
and vehicles at the source, mortgage and vehicle loan 
applications received through loan comparison websites 
and advertisement sites on digital media are digitally 
transmitted to İşbank branches. In this way, sales channels 
were diversified, and conversion rates on loan applications 
were increased. With this effort, loans amounting to TL 
246.9 billion were extended in 2022.

In 2022, TL 45.5 billion worth of loans were extended 
within the scope of “Instant Loan”, “Instant Shopping 
Loan”, and “Ready Limit” applications, which are 
paperless banking applications where all processes 
can be completed through digital channels such as 
İşCep, Internet Branch, and the İş Bankası ile Öde (Pay 
with İşbank) application that can be accessed through 
contracted shopping sites. TL 26.1 billion in loans were 
extended within the scope of the “My Loan is Ready” 
application, which enables the completion of consumer 
loan applications through digital channels, with the final 
approval process completed at the branch regardless 
of the channel where the process starts. The lending 
rate through digital channels, which was 80% last year, 
increased to 84.9% in 2022.

With the İş'te Limit (Limit at İşbank) application, which 
shows the credit worthiness of İşbank customers, displays 
the total limit of consumer loan, additional account, or 
credit card products that can be allocated to the customer, 
and also allows limit transfers between related products, 
customers can apply directly from İşCep as well as our 
branches. Customers with a set İş’te Limit can apply 
directly from this screen for the relevant products within 
their defined İş’te Limits. In addition to İşCep, customers 
who have the appropriate permission can now proactively 
inquire about and be offered an İş’te Limit through 
RPA processes. TL 26.4 billion worth of İş’te Limit was 
determined within the proactive İş’te Limit application, and 
TL 616 million worth of İş’te Limit was determined within 
the İş’te Limit application from İşCep.

In 2022, approximately 326 thousand additional accounts 
with a total limit of TL 3.4 billion were opened through 
digital channels.

In 2022, approximately 
326 thousand 
additional accounts with 
a total limit of 
TL 3.4 billion 
were opened through 
digital channels.

 􀯽Digitalization in Branch Operations
In 2022, in order to reduce the number of counter 
transactions at branches, efforts were made to develop 
next-generation devices with a similar structure and 
architecture to the counters where customers will receive 
self-service and pilot implementation has been started in 
three branches. In addition to cash transactions, efforts 
are underway to address more customers with a wider 
menu set with functions such as customer acquisition, 
video calls, application processes, card delivery, digital 
verification, and contract approval. Within the scope 
of improving in-branch approval and authentication 
processes, efforts are underway to ensure customer 
authentication in the branch and in the field with the chip 
ID card and biometric verification.

As of the end of December, expenditures for projects 
carried out under the Digital Customer Experience of 
the Future program amounted to TL 62.5 million. The 
number of İşbank branches renovated as part of digital 
transformation reached 578 as of year-end 2022. 

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence applications managed within the 
framework of the corporate vision and strategies at 
İşbank aim to maximize customer experience and direct 
employees to areas where they can create higher value 
with the automation of low value-added processes.

Accordingly, an Artificial Intelligence Division was 
established at the Bank. The "Agile working model" is 
applied in artificial intelligence, which is one of the priority 
areas of work. 

As of year-end 2022, artificial intelligence investments 
realized amounted to TL 43 million.

Artificial Intelligence Governance

Machine learning operations (MLOps) are used for 
Artificial Intelligence to operate at İşbank on a large scale, 
continuously learning and sustainably. The applications 
and collaborations (technology, people, and processes) 
developed within this scope are positioned as the key to 
industrializing artificial intelligence. As a result, a single 
platform suitable for corporate integration has been 
introduced that manages the entire artificial intelligence 
lifecycle end-to-end by standardizing and automating it.

Artificial Intelligence Ethics Approach

In order to manage Artificial Intelligence technologies 
correctly and to create the expected effect, the principles 
that İşbank adheres to were published as the Artificial 
Intelligence Ethical Approach under the Ethical Manifesto.

 􀯽Social Benefit and Sustainability:  In our artificial 
intelligence activities, in addition to sustainability, we 
prioritize creating social benefit in many areas of life 
such as economy, education, and culture, as well as 
the principle of respect for the environment.

 􀯽Impartiality: We make our AI decisions independent 
of qualities such as race, origin, belief, status, and 
gender, and we reject all forms of bias.

 􀯽Transparency and Explainability: In our artificial 

intelligence activities, in addition to sustainability, we 
prioritize creating social benefit in many areas of life 
such as economy, education, and culture, as well as 
the principle of respect for the environment.

 􀯽Durability: We run our artificial intelligence models 
autonomously from end-to-end in our Bank’s cloud 
infrastructure, where up-to-date technologies are used 
in a way that is open to human control and closed to 
human intervention. We take all security measures for 
our models and provide the necessary controls.

 􀯽Accountability: We record our artificial intelligence 
activities in accordance with the legislation and its 
purpose. Within our duties and authorities, we make 
decisions as per the applicable legislation and banking 
principles. We manage all processes centrally with the 
İşbank Mozaik* platform we developed ourselves.

 􀯽Security: We organize our artificial intelligence 

activities in accordance with national, international, and 
internal policies. We take and implement all measures 
to prevent illegal transactions. We collaborate with 
other banks and institutions in this regard and protect 
bank and customer confidential information and 
personal data within the framework of our information 
security policies.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

In order to make the right strategic moves and take the 
right actions in the digital world where technology is 
developing rapidly, İşbank continues to develop innovative 
business models suitable for new competitive conditions. 
Adopting an open innovation approach with its visionary 
structure, İşbank supports joint cooperation models 
with startups to develop new products and services and 
closely monitors new ideas and technological trends 
through innovation centers established in Türkiye and 
abroad as well as technology companies, universities, and 
institutions, and organizations in its network of contacts.

Innovation at İşbank

Innovation efforts in 2022 closely monitored innovative 
applications and solutions with the potential to impact 
the future on a global scale, including the sustainability 
field, and proof-of-concept studies were carried out for 
innovative business models. The competencies of the 
Forest for the Future application launched in 2021, in 
which customers can convert the points they earn from 
their spending, banking transactions, and daily activities 
that contribute to nature into sapling donations, were 
further developed. Within the framework of our Web 3.0 
vision, which consists of the components of continuously 
developing our competencies in blockchain technologies 
through experimental studies, expanding the use of 
smart contracts, creating beyond-banking products/
services that will enable the digital asset ecosystem to 
become established, and designing physical ownership 
links for digital assets, we aimed to utilize the value 
propositions of blockchain and metaverse technologies 
from various perspectives.

The budget allocated for R&D and innovation at İşbank 
in 2022 was TL 206 million. In 2022, the actual budget 
expenditure was TL 148 million. 

Support for Entrepreneurship

As of its founding mission, supporting all economic 
activities, especially entrepreneurship, and aiming to 
provide this support in a sustainable and accessible 
manner, İşbank carries out many activities to support 
technology-based startups. In line with its vision of 
being the bank of entrepreneurship and startups, the 
Bank continued its ecosystem collaborations around 
entrepreneurship programs, which have been ongoing 
since 2017, and further expanded its network of 
influence in this area. In 2022, the Bank collaborated with 
52 initiatives and carried out campaigns and proof-of-
concept work.

The Bank continued to work intensively to support 
the ecosystem through the Istanbul Entrepreneurship 
Branch opened in 2021 and the Izmir Entrepreneurship 
Branch which started operating in 2022. By the end 
of the year, the total number of customers of the 
Entrepreneurship Branches reached 656, of which 433 
were newly brought to İşbank or activated customers 
during the year. The number of business partnerships 
established within the scope of non-financial value 
propositions for entrepreneurs reached 9 by the end of 
the year, and 52 entrepreneurs were enabled to develop 
collaborations/campaigns with İşbank or its subsidiaries. 
In 2022, the Technological Entrepreneur Package was 
defined for the first time, providing privileges in our core 
banking services and facilitating entry into the financial 
system for a total of 265 startups.

In 2022, USD 1.2 million was invested in 4 startups, 2 of 
which were follow-up investments, through the Maxis 
Innovative Venture Capital Fund, of which İşbank is the 
main investor and which was established to provide 
resources to early-stage technology startups in the 
entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Internal Entrepreneurship Program

Thanks to the "Internal Entrepreneurship Program", 
which was launched to introduce innovative business 
ideas and develop the employees' teamwork and 
continuous learning skills, the employees have gained 
the skills "to think and act like an entrepreneur" and 
improved their innovation, creativity, risk-taking and 
competitive thinking skills and also got the opportunity 
to generate their ideas, detect problems, create solutions 
and launch their products.

Entrepreneurship teams, which consist of employees, 
improve their knowledge and awareness about 
innovative business models, entrepreneurship and the 
basics of internal entrepreneurship and are given training 
and mentorship support from their program partners 
that have experience in entrepreneurship. This program 
aims to contribute to the transformation of İşbank's 
innovative/entrepreneurial culture by providing all 
employees across the country with competencies such 
as entrepreneurship, teamwork, and continuous learning/
development.

Workup and WorkupAgri 
Entrepreneurship Program

The Workup Entrepreneurship Program, which was 
created to support and accelerate early-stage startups 
with a technology-oriented, sustainable and scalable 
business model, has continued since 2017. Eight 
startups graduated with the Demo Day held in the 
10th term of Workup. The 2nd term of the Workup 
Agri Entrepreneurship Program, which was launched 
to support new technologies in agriculture and related 
topics and to add new collaborations to our agricultural 
value proposition, continues with 6 startups.

140 startups have been accepted to the Workup 
and WorkupAgri programs out of over 15 thousand 
applications, and 100 of them have graduated with 
Demo Day events. 2 out of every 3 Workup startups and 
3 out of every 4 entrepreneur graduates continue to exist 
in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. 40 Workup startups 
received USD 15 million in investments during and after 
the program.

Arya Women Investment Platform 

Arya Venture Capital Fund

İşbank is the main sponsor of the Arya Women 
Investment Platform, which has worked to increase both 
investment and business development opportunities for 
women entrepreneurs since 2018.

The Arya Investment Preparation Acceleration Program 
is being organized as part of the collaboration between 
İşbank and the Arya Women Investment Platform, in 
which women entrepreneurs go through a 5-week 
training and mentorship program to get ready to meet 
investors. At the semi-final event, the entrepreneurs 
included in the program deliver their investor 
presentations and graduate from the program. In the final 
part of the program, the Arya Retreat event, which brings 
the remaining entrepreneurs together with investors 
and lasts for 3 days, 3 entrepreneurship projects receive 
awards after completion of the presentations delivered 
to the jury and investors. The program also includes 
workshops, and opportunities for collaboration and 
networking are presented. The seventh Arya Retreat was 
organized in 2022 with the theme “Invest in Women”.

A training series for women entrepreneurs is organized 
under the name Arya Business Workshops; practical 
information and cases are shared on topics such as 
marketing, sales, finance, investment, and e-commerce. 
The workshops also include the experience sharing of 
entrepreneurs who are successful in their fields.

The trainings provided within the scope of Arya 
Entrepreneur Academy aim to provide entrepreneurs 
with basic awareness and the vision they need to 
manage and grow their startups.

With the Arya Investor Academy, which focuses on 
women’s angel investing, the basic elements of the angel 
investing process are conveyed to women and women 
are encouraged to become angel investors.

The number of women who 
benefited from the Investment 
Preparation Program and 
the Retreat event, Business 
Workshops, Entrepreneurship, and 
Investor Academies reached 569.

In Türkiye, the biggest challenge women entrepreneurs’ 
face in realizing their dreams and reaching a certain 
scale is access to finance and finding funding. Many 
women with creative ideas, experience, and self-
confidence can start their own businesses if they 
find financial support. Within this scope, the financial, 
educational, and mentoring support to be provided to 
women entrepreneurs from the foundation stage of their 
businesses until they reach the stage where they grow 
and contribute to the economy is of great importance. 
More women entrepreneurs brought into the economy 
means more production, more employment, and thus a 
greater contribution to the national economy.

To this end, in 2022, Arya Women Investment Platform 
and İşbank established a fund, which is aimed to reach 
a minimum size of USD 10 million, to invest in gender-
balanced startups that offer the potential for sustainable 
returns. The fund will invest in gender-balanced startups 
and aims to become a venture capital fund with regional 
impact. 

WeLead

In cooperation with TÜRKONFED and İşbank and 
with the support of UN Women Regional Office for 
Europe and Central Asia, a new project called “WeLead 
(Leading Women Entrepreneurship for Accelerating 
Development)” was launched for women entrepreneurs. 
The project aims to improve the capacities of 
entrepreneurial women and strengthen their 
communication networks. Within the project, it is planned 
to provide training support to entrepreneurial women 
regardless of sector and scale.

Training content is based on two pillars which are ‘gender 
equality awareness’ and ‘technical capacity building’. The 
technical content covers topics such as digitalization, 
budget management, supply chain management and 
branding, which were identified as a result of the WeLead 
Research Report, the source for shaping the project.50

Within the project, 15 online and face-to-face training 
programs were organized in 2022., 2022, the WeLead 
Project, launched on June 1,2022,  provided access to 
training for more than 1,700 women entrepreneurs. The 
project will continue with similar activities in 2023 as well.

Entrepreneurship Foundation (GİRVAK) and TÜSİAD “Bu 
Gençlikte İş Var” Program, which play an important role in 
helping young people gain an entrepreneurial perspective at 
an early age and see entrepreneurship as a career path.

FounderOne
FounderOne, a next-generation investment fund aiming to 
invest in early-stage impact startups, was established in 
June 2022 in cooperation with the Turkish Entrepreneurship 
Foundation, Turkish Informatics Foundation, and our 
subsidiary Maxis Girişim Sermayesi Portföy Yönetim A.Ş.

Next-Generation Contact Point: 
İş Mekan

With the aim of designing the customer 
experience and the Bank of the Future, the 
Next-Generation Contact Point project was 
started and branded as İş Mekan with the aim 
of reaching our customers we contact digitally 
in the physical world and meeting their needs 
more holistically as the İşbank Group without 
limiting them to banking processes. 

The aim is to continuously improve the 
customer experience and strengthen customer 
belonging and loyalty through İş Mekan’s 
contact points whose concepts will vary 
according to different customer profiles and 
market characteristics.

İş Mekan, which started operations in Nişantaşı, 
has created an ecosystem where visitors can 
meet İşbank Group brands and platforms in 
addition to performing banking transactions. İş 
Mekan features a corner for İş Kültür Publishing 
where visitors can enjoy a pleasant bookstore 
experience, the first physical point of sale of 
İşbank’s online shopping platform Pazarama, 
and a café offering a next-generation coffee 
experience. In addition, there are meeting rooms 
rented by our subsidiary İşmer and workspaces 
that all our customers can use free of charge. İş 
Mekan has been designed to inspire its visitors 
with a variety of events and activities that will 
bring them together on a regular basis to create 
a community. 

In order to support the physical İş Mekan 
experience area digitally and to provide a holistic 
experience, the İş Mekan mobile application, 
which is complementary to the physical İş 
Mekan experience, has been offered to our 
customers in the app marketplaces. With this 
application, users will be able to book meeting 
rooms at the İş Mekan, book spaces for events 
and, with future developments, be informed 
about campaigns and announcements before 
anyone else. In this way, the aim is to create a 
collective customer experience by supporting 
the service offered in the physical world in the 
digital world as well.

Information Security at İşbank

İşbank works meticulously to ensure the reliability 
of its operations against risks related to information 
confidentiality and cybersecurity, which are increasing 
with digitalization. The processes related to ensuring the 
security of information systems and the secure storage 
of personal data and confidential information, which are 
the most important issues of our day, are maintained 
through regular investments in the field of security and 
training and awareness activities for the continuous 
development of a security culture.

The Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility to 
ensure information security within İşbank. To this end, 
the Board of Directors develops the required strategy 
and oversees its implementation via the committee. 
The Information Security Committee is responsible for 
establishing and implementing policies for information 
and personal data security. All organization units of the 
Bank are responsible, within the boundaries of their 
areas of responsibility, for carrying out their activities 
in accordance with these policies and other sub-
regulations based on them.

Policies and other sub-regulations regarding information 
security and personal data form the basis of any 
actions to be taken within this scope. Through constant 
awareness programs, the Bank strives to increase the 
knowledge of its employees and raise awareness among 
end users.

In 2022, 8.933 employees from the Head Office and 
branches received a total of 9,853 hours of training 
in the fields of cybersecurity, social engineering and 
information security.

İşbank's banking processes and information systems 
are annually audited by the Board of Inspectors in a risk-
based manner to provide a basis for the Management's 
Statement to be submitted to an independent auditor 
in accordance with the "Regulation on External Audit 
Institutions’ Information Systems and Banking Processes 
Audits" published by the Turkish Banking Regulation 
and Supervision Agency (BRSA). Processes for ensuring 
information security are absolutely covered during the 
audits of information systems. 

With priority given to the control targets regarding 
the provisions included in the "Information Security 
Management" section of the BSEB regulation, and 
within the framework of the mentioned regulations, the 
existence, adequacy and effectiveness of a process that 

includes activities such as risk assessment, approval of 
the corporate information security policy by the Board 
of Directors and supervision of its implementation by 
the Senior Management, conducting studies to increase 
the awareness of the Bank personnel on information 
security, classifying all data according to the degree of 
security sensitivity and conducting security controls at 
the appropriate level for each class, implementation of 
information security tests, prevention of data loss, and 
updates of existing controls and structures created 
according to technological developments are evaluated.

In line with  audit studies for information technologies 
(IT), inspections are carried out to contribute to 
the achievement of basic goals for the healthy 
management of IT risks and the effective and efficient 
use of IT resources. The scope of the said audit work is 
determined by a risk assessment prepared by taking into 
account the criticality of the applications and systems 
for the Bank and their sensitivity in terms of data security. 
These system-oriented technical inspections are carried 
out on the basis of local legislation and international 
best practices, including especially the articles of the 
BSEB regulation which are directly related to ensuring 
information security.

The internal control environments regarding information 
security of İşbank's subsidiaries and affiliates and the 
organizations from which the Bank receives support 
services are also evaluated through audit activities, 
similar to the audit activities carried out within the Bank.

As per the communiqué “Penetration Tests for 
Information Systems” published by BSRA, banks are 
required to carry out penetration testing at least once 
a year. The purpose of penetration testing is to identify 
and fix vulnerabilities that may result in unauthorized 
access to the Bank's information systems or sensitive 
data before such vulnerabilities are exploited. External 
firms have been carrying out penetration tests at İşbank 
since 2012 in accordance with the communiqué. 
Penetration test action plans prepared on a quarterly 
basis by Information Security regarding the findings of 
the penetration tests are reviewed by the audit team, and 
the "Penetration Test Finding Follow-up Report" for the 
current year is reported in the following year.

In the ordinary audit activities and investigations 
carried out by the members of the Board of Inspectors, 
the effectiveness of the measures taken for the 
confidentiality of customer information is reviewed. In

case of a customer complaint submitted to the Bank 
in relation to an alleged breach of confidentiality due 
to loss or disclosure of customer information to third 
parties, the issue is meticulously handled in all aspects, 
and the audit results are reported. Within the scope of 
the investigations, the data and audit trails in the Bank's 
systems are analyzed in a holistic and detailed manner, 
and any situations that indicate reasonable doubt are 
examined from an analytical perspective. In the event 
of a reasonable suspicion that such information is 
disclosed to third parties, investigations on the subject 
are expanded, and if these suspicions reflect the truth, 
the necessary measures and decisions within the scope 
of both internal regulations and legal legislation are taken 
without delay. In addition, the processes described in 
the Bank legislation regarding provision of information to 
customers about the outcome of such complaints are 
executed in order to ensure that the complaint owners 
are notified about the outcome of the investigations.

Within the scope of internal audit activities, all 
investigation results are reported to the Board of 
Directors through the Audit Committee; within the 
framework of audit reports, it is ensured that the 
measures taken by the relevant unit managements are 
monitored.

The Internal Control Division information systems internal 
control activities team conducted inspections at 76 
checkpoints for the Bank’s information security process. 
In addition, various checkpoints for cybersecurity on 
the Bank’s critical IT assets are regularly monitored at 
daily, weekly, and monthly intervals as part of level two 
controls, and the identified operational issues are shared 
with the relevant IT units to correct them. 

The control activities of the Internal Control Division 
within this scope include: 

 􀯽access to databases, 
 􀯽authorization and security parameter controls, 
 􀯽controls for the security of privileged public user 

accounts and user groups on servers and databases, 

 􀯽activity controls of high-privilege users on critical 
servers and applications for information security, 

 􀯽server anti-virus software controls, 
 􀯽controls for the security of server audit trails,
 􀯽data leakage prevention system controls

Additionally, regular access and authorization controls 
are done to ensure that end-user privileges in basic 
applications used for the main banking processes are up 
to date.

Within the framework of the security architecture, 
there are multiple layers in the communication 
network infrastructure of İşbank. Anti-DDoS solutions 
are positioned to prevent suspicious external DDoS 
(Distributed Denial of Dervice) traffic. In the outermost 
network, incoming and outgoing traffic is controlled 
by IPS (Intrusion Prevention Systems) and WAF (Web 
Application Firewall) systems. In order to increase 
security on the communication network, different zones 
have been created on the network. Within each zone, 
there are different firewalls and access control lists 
(ACLs), and zones are protected by customized rules 
and security defense mechanisms. In addition, different 
switches and VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) 
have been established in different zones. Outgoing 
internet traffic is analyzed by secure socket layer 
(SSL) monitoring tools and protected by sandbox APT 
(Advanced Persistent Threat) systems. All server and 
endpoint devices are protected by endpoint security 
solutions. Authorizations in the systems are made 
based on role and in accordance with the principle of 
separation of duties, and authorizations are regularly 
reviewed. The trace records created on the systems are 
transferred to SIEM products, and security warnings are 
followed by the Security Intelligence and Defense Center 
within the framework of predetermined rules on a 24/7 
basis, and actions are taken regarding security incidents. 

At İşbank, regular penetration tests are conducted to 
detect possible system vulnerabilities. Systems are 
patched to fix any detected vulnerabilities. Information 
security awareness training is provided and phishing 
tests are done to increase awareness among Bank

Environmental Impact Management

Environmentally Friendly Buildings

Believing that using natural resources responsibly 
and minimizing the impact on the environment while 
conducting its activities are fundamental duties of both 
individuals and institutions, İşbank takes responsibility 
for climate action in order to maintain its operations with 
minimal environmental impact. The Bank bases this 
responsibility on the targets it sets and the commitments 
it makes. Additionally, İşbank is undertaking many 
improvement and energy-efficiency projects to mitigate 
the negative environmental impact it causes.

Climate targets

Within the scope of combating climate change, İşbank 
established its strategy on climate change risk, and 
climate change was added to the Bank’s risk catalogue. 
In the combat against climate change, İşbank set its 
target for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and 
stated it in its disclosure under the CDP Climate Change 
Program:

"To reduce the total Scope-1 and Scope-2 greenhouse 
gas emissions calculated in accordance with the 
International GHG Protocol by 38% by 2025, 65% by 
2030, and to zero by 2035, and to carry out activities as 
carbon-neutral as of 2035 (target baseline year: 2018)"

İşbank made a commitment to the Science Based 
Targets Initiative (SBTi) for identified science-based 
emission reduction targets to be validated. In 2023, it is 
aimed to go beyond these targets and evaluate Scope-3 
emissions from lending activities and the supply chain 
with a target-based approach.

İşbank was awarded 
a score of “A-" in the 
CDP Climate Change 
Program in 2022.

Environmental Management

At İşbank, an ISO 14001 Environmental Management 
System Project has been in place since 2018 in order 
to reduce its environmental impact and build an 
environmental management system that complies 
with international standards. Within this scope, training 
is provided to employees working in the position of 
environmental officer. In 2022, our 638 employees 
who will serve as environmental officers attended the 
“Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) 
Training” and 12 employees who will conduct the 
internal audit of this system attended the “Environmental 
Management System (ISO 14001) Internal Auditor 
Training”. Employees who start their careers at İşbank 
are provided with information about the Environmental 
Management (ISO 14001) System in the “Getting to 
Know Our Bank” course as part of the “Starting My 
Career” Training. In addition, employees were provided 
with information and awareness on the environmental 
management system through online workshops.

The Environmental Management System is audited by 
the Internal Control Division on an annual basis. The 
Bank has not incurred any fines for non-compliance 
with environmental laws and regulations during the 
reporting period.

As of 2022, İşbank has ISO 14001 Environmental 
Management System Certificates for 1,178 locations. 
Efforts are underway to obtain zero waste certification 
in line with the Zero Waste Legislation at the covered 
locations. At the end of 2022, the ratio of certified 
locations to the Bank’s total locations was 100%, and 
efforts are underway to include newly opened branches 
in the certification process. With the newly launched 
Sustainability Platform, data collection from branches is 
carried out through an online application. İşbank aims to 
maintain its environmental management system which 
complies with international standards in the coming years. 

İşbank has awareness of the destruction of nature and 
economic loss caused by electronic waste. Therefore 
İşbank sells scrap and returns toner cartridges to 
recycle field assets whose life cycle is managed by 
the Information Technologies Division. All companies 
to which sales are made have WEEE certificates. All 
recycling operations are outsourced to authorized 
companies in line with the Bank’s general rules.

As of 2022, the Bank has ISO 14001 Environmental 
Management System Certificates for 1,178 locations 
(100% of total locations).

Environmentally friendly buildings play a key role in 
reducing the environmental impact of İşbank's activities. 
İşbank's big buildings, such as the Head Office, 
operations center and data center, were designed to 
minimize their environmental impact. İşbank Head 
Office building in Levent, Istanbul has a BREEAM In-use 
Excellent certificate. Additionally, Tuzla Technology and 
Operations Center (TUTOM) received the LEED Gold 
certificate.

From 2020 when remote working arrangements were 
put in place to the end of 2021, electricity consumption 
at the Head Office locations decreased by 8.4%.

The Bank’s Tuzla Data Center (Atlas) building has the 
LEED v4 Gold for Data Centers certification and is the 
first data center in Türkiye to meet these standards. In 
the Atlas Data Center building, the heated air generated 
after the data halls with IT cabinets are cooled with air 
is used to heat the office areas. In this way, the Bank’s 
energy consumption is reduced, and energy savings are 
achieved. 

In addition, rainwater is collected through rainwater 
collection channels installed in our buildings, treated to a 
certain level and then reused in various areas.

At the Head Office and TUTOM buildings, all waste 
is sorted and recycled according to the ISO 14001 
Environmental Management System Standard.

Efficiency in Branches

İşbank aims to use energy and resources efficiently in 
order to reduce the environmental impact of its service 
buildings and carries out such efficiency activities with a 
continuous improvement approach.

In 2022, during the renovation work in the Bank, branch 
lighting, heating, and cooling systems were modernized. 
Existing lights were replaced with LED lighting, while old 
air conditioners were replaced with high energy-efficient 
units, and natural gas conversion was carried out at 
branches that were heated with coal or diesel fuel.

 At our Head Office building, the heating, cooling and 
domestic water system pumps were replaced with more 
energy-efficient models. LED conversion of lighting 
fixtures in all service buildings is ongoing. It is planned to 
be completed by the end of 2023.

At all service buildings, conventional flush tanks were 
replaced with new models that use less water, and 
urinals with photocell control were chosen to replace 
existing urinal flush tanks. Lavatory faucets in all service 
buildings were replaced with water-saving faucets. It is 
estimated that 15% water savings will be achieved with 
these measures.

As a result of the improvements and upgrades made for 
higher energy efficiency, emissions (scope 1+scope 2) 
were reduced by 9,196 tCO2e.

Visors are being installed on Bankamatik ATMs that 
convert solar energy into electric energy and help 
reduce energy consumption. Acting as solar panels, 
the Bankamatik ATM visors can meet a significant 
portion of the energy need of façade lighting, except 
for the advertisement panels. By the end of 2022, 
68 Bankamatik ATMs with solar panels produced 
330 Wh per device per day. These systems are in the 
testing stage, and it is planned to expand their use to all 
renovated units from 2022 onwards. In addition, İşbank 
plans to invest in a solar farm covering all its branches in 
2023.

Efforts to reduce single-use plastics in branches 
and Head Office buildings are ongoing. The use 
of disposable water cups, of which 317,840 were 
consumed in 2022, was terminated within the year; 
similarly, the purchase of new cardboard cups at the 
Head Office building was also terminated

In 2022, 190 million✓ sheets 
of paper and TL 22 million in 
paper costs were saved through 
digital, digital signature, and KEP 
delivery practices.

Responsible Procurement

Sustainable development is only possible through 
responsible business models. Positive or negative 
impacts caused by organizations are not confined to the 
area of its operations but may affect a large area based 
on the organization’s size. Aware of its responsibilities, 
İşbank aims to propagate its approach to, and standards 
of, business to its supply chain as well. By collaborating 
with its suppliers, the Bank tries to ensure that best 
practices and products extend to an even larger area. 
İşbank works to achieve sustainable business success 
with a financially strong, environmentally friendly supply 
chain that is also reliable with high-quality production 
and continuity.

In order to leave a more livable world for future 
generations, it is of critical importance to protect 
the environment and use resources in a sustainable 
manner. In addition, the importance given to employee 
and human rights and compliance with ethical 
principles have a great impact on the development 
of societies and countries. Within this context, 
sustainability criteria come to the forefront in product/
service procurement in order to contribute to the 
said values. In accordance with the Sustainability 
Policy, İşbank endeavors to minimize the negative 
environmental and social impacts caused by suppliers 
and to raise the positive effects to maximum levels. 
In this context, the Bank respects environmental and 
social criteria in its supplier selection.

The Bank follows a procurement strategy that 
envisages contributing to the sustainability of the 
ecosystem, including its suppliers, through its social 
and environmental policies based on growing together 
with stakeholders. In line with İşbank's ethical banking 
approach, the Supplier Code of Conduct, based on the 
UN Global Compact and İşbank Human Rights and 
Human Resources Policy, determines the main principles 
and essentials in purchases of goods and services. All 
suppliers are expected to show due diligence in acting 
in compliance with these principles and policies and 
to refrain from behaviors that may be contrary to these 
principles. In order to carry out healthy and sustainable 
procurement processes, İşbank expects its suppliers to 
have values identical to its own.

CIPS Certification

The conformance of the Bank’s purchasing 
organization and processes to international 
standards was certified with the CIPS (The 
Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply) 
certificate it obtained in 2021. CIPS is one of 
the leading professional institutes that sets 
the best practices and standards in the field of 
procurement and supply chain management. 
The Bank is the first organization in the 
Turkish banking and finance sector to receive 
this certificate.

Within the framework of İşbank's Procurement 
Implementation Instruction and Procurement Policy, the 
environmental impact of the products and services to be 
purchased is also evaluated as per the requirements of 
the environmental management system in the selection 
of suppliers from which the products or services needed 
by the Bank will be purchased. In addition, measures 
are taken to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts, 
taking into account the requirements specified in the 
country’s legislation and the Bank’s regulations.

The Bank cooperates with suppliers whose working 
principles are compatible with the Bank’s sensitivities in 
terms of human rights, environmental and social impacts. 
Supplier selection is carried out within the principles 
set forth in the Procurement Policy and Implementation 
Instruction. Article 2 of the Supplier Management 
Principles states "No person is employed under the age 
limit defined in the legal legislation. ”. In addition, the Bank 
does online research and looks into the market sources 
to gather information about suppliers. Furthermore, 
suppliers are visited on a regular basis as part of a 
specially designed program. Within this context, there 
are no suppliers that employ child labor, or no information 
has been received in this regard. At the same time, 
our suppliers are asked whether they have policies to 
prevent child labor in the Sustainability Survey directed to 
them once a year

The Supplier Management Principles, Anti-Bribery, 
Anti-Corruption, and Gift and Hospitality Policies, 
which set out the basic principles and principles to be 
followed in the relations between İşbank and suppliers 
from whom products and services will be purchased, 
can be accessed from the procurement platform.  Thus, 
suppliers can be informed about procurement processes 
and policies while registering on İşbank's procurement 
platform. These policies are also available on the Bank’s 
website and are accessible to all stakeholders.

The Supplier Management Principles on the home page 
of İşbank’s procurement platform detail the sensitivities 
that suppliers must comply with. The sensitivities 
specified in the Principles are observed in supplier 
selection. No purchase is made from suppliers who 
cannot submit the required documents. 

A large proportion of İşbank's suppliers are well-known 
companies in the sector that fulfill their legal obligations 
due to their position in society. In the reporting period, 
there was no information on any negative impact related 
to suppliers in terms of human rights, working conditions, 
and social criteria.

İşbank aims to collaborate with its global peers and 
suppliers in order to be a pioneer in sustainability by 
benefiting from best practices and product examples. 
Like environmental criteria, social criteria are also 
important in the selection of suppliers at İşbank. The 
Bank is highly respectful of association and collective 
bargaining rights. Sensitivities on this issue are taken into 
consideration in supplier selection. Purchases of goods 
and services from suppliers that are found to be involved 
in practices of bribery and corruption are suspended, 
and such suppliers are banned. The supplier cannot 
employ workers under the age limit defined in the legal 
legislation. For our suppliers, who were visited regularly, 
no feedback with a negative social impact was received 
during their reporting periods.

İşbank works to achieve sustainable business success 
with a financially strong, environmentally friendly supply 
chain that is also reliable with high-quality production 
and continuity. The Bank adopts the principle of 
continuously improving its employees along with its 
suppliers, ensuring organizational excellence and 
consistently improving business processes. When 
selecting suppliers, the Bank chooses one from its 
existing pool of suppliers based on the nature of 
procurement in question or tries to reach new alternative 
suppliers by looking at predefined criteria. In addition 
to the specified criteria, the Bank also takes different 
parameters into consideration, such as reference checks, 
sector analysis, and financial analysis when identifying 
alternative suppliers.

Each year, the business unit that uses the product/service 
is asked a number of questions for supplier evaluation 
within the supplier performance management study. 
Specialized employees working in the Procurement 
Division also evaluate suppliers through the questions 
directed to them. This study is carried out systematically 
through the purchasing application for the suppliers that 
account for a large portion of the purchases.

As part of supply chain management, İşbank expects its 
suppliers to:

 􀯽Act in accordance with environmental and ethical 

rules, 

 􀯽Be able to adapt to the developing and changing 

sector conditions,

 􀯽Meet the Bank's expectations of quality-logistics 

performance,

 􀯽Be open to cooperation to reduce the negative impact 

of the production process on the environment, 

 􀯽Prefer environmentally friendly raw materials and

In current procurement processes, environmental/social 
impacts are taken into account in supplier selection;

 􀯽Boxes purchased in 2022 were made entirely from 

recyclable materials.

 􀯽The work chairs purchased for the Head Office 

buildings and branch managers in 2022 were made 
of 95% recycled material. 

 􀯽The carpets purchased for agile offices are carbon 

neutral.

 􀯽 High-energy class air conditioners are preferred for 

the air conditioning requirements. 

 􀯽Certificates of compliance with environmental 

regulations such as Waste Electrical and Electronic 
Equipment Processing Certificate, Non-Hazardous 
Waste Collection-Separation Certificate, Waste 
Battery and Accumulator Temporary Storage Permit, 
Hazardous Waste Transport Vehicle Licenses, 
and ISO 14001 Certificate are requested from 
participating companies in scrap sale tenders.

 􀯽 With the tender held in 2022, renewable energy 
sources were preferred for the entire electricity 
consumption under the Bank’s control in the 
electricity purchase for 2023.

 􀯽 In 2022, hybrid vehicles were preferred for most of 

the vehicle leasing contracts. 

İşbank has adopted the principle of continuously 
improving its suppliers, ensuring organizational 
excellence, and consistently improving business 
processes. The Bank continued to contribute to the 
national economy by selecting local suppliers in 2022 
as well. Therefore, local suppliers accounted for 97% of 
the total suppliers, while the amount of procurement from 
local suppliers accounted for 88% of the total volume of 
procurement during the reporting period.

İşbank also monitors the environmental impacts of its 
supply chain. In the Supplier Management Principles, it 
is stated that environmental criteria are also effective in 
supplier selection. In purchases with high environmental 
impact, suppliers are evaluated according to their 
competencies and no purchase is made from suppliers 
who cannot submit the necessary documents. For such 
special purchase activities, suppliers that submit the 
required documentation are preferred, regardless of 
price.

A Sustainability Survey is sent to suppliers once a year. 
Suppliers from which the Bank buys a large amount 
of products/services via its purchasing application are 
subject to a survey which included 38 questions in the 
main topics of environment, labor and human rights, 
ethics, and sustainable purchasing. The survey, which 
was conducted to understand at what stage suppliers 
are in terms of sustainability, also aims to raise their 
awareness on this topic. 

A total of 30 suppliers, constituting 57% of purchasing, 
participated in the survey which was sent to suppliers 
covering 71% of purchases for 2022. The survey 
consists of 38 questions in total - 24 under Environment, 
8 under Employee and Human Rights, 4 under Ethics, 
and 2 under Sustainable Purchasing topics.- The survey 
also includes questions on water management, such as 
the total amount of water used in production, targets set 
to reduce water consumption, whether reporting is done 
for water use, and actions taken to reduce water use.

All purchasing is carried out in accordance with the 
Supplier Management Principles, Gender Equality, and 
Human Rights policies available on the Bank’s website. 
The Bank observes gender equality in all its activities and 
aims to create opportunities to raise awareness on the 
topic. The aforementioned survey sent to suppliers also 
includes questions on gender equality. 

Business Continuity Management 
Program

The Business Continuity Management Program, which 
has been carried out at İşbank since 2009 as a holistic 
management process aimed at creating an effective 
response capability to protect the institution’s reputation, 
brand, and value-creating activities, is in compliance with 
the ISO 22301 standard and legal regulations in Türkiye. 
Under the program, studies that will constitute inputs 
to information systems recovery plans and strategies 
are carried out, and the continuity of our branches is 
monitored. The program is supported by trainings for all 
employees.

In 2022, it was ensured that business continuity 
recovery strategies were implemented within one 
business day in branches where service interruptions 
occurred, except for regional disasters; 2 online 
trainings planned for Business Continuity Coordinators 
were held on March 29 and 31, 2022 with the 
participation of 65 managers; all business continuity 
plans were updated within the studies carried out 
throughout the year; and all planned business impact 
analysis studies were completed. The completion ratio 
of the Business Continuity Management Digital Training, 
which was directed to a total of 23,019 employees, was 
93.99% as of October 2022.

In 2022, the Business Continuity Management Policy, 
which constitutes the framework of the program, was 
updated in line with the developments in this field, 
particularly the Regulation on Banks' Information 
Systems and Electronic Banking Services (BSEB 
Regulation). In line with the business continuity 
experiences gained during the pandemic, the Workflows 
to be followed by our branches in the event of Prolonged 
System Outages were published for our branches. 
The ratio of employees with ISO 22301 Certification 
among the Business Continuity Team employees was 
100%. The inclusion of the Remote Working Service 
Level Agreement in 2022 among the Service Level 
Agreements that include monitoring indicators for the 
continuity of İşbank Information Systems Applications 
is considered as one of the reflections of new working 
models on the program. 

Considering the reflections of new working models on 
the activities carried out within the program, studies will 

be carried out also in 2023 by adopting the continuous 
improvement and development approach, which is 
emphasized in the essence of the ISO 22301 standard, 
and it is aimed to increase effectiveness with application 
support as well.

Within the Business Impact Analysis studies carried 
out under the İşbank Business Continuity Management 
Program, all Bank processes, including our critical 
services, are evaluated every year in terms of;

 􀯽Financial Impacts

 􀯽Reputational Impacts

 􀯽Legal, Legislative, and Contractual Impacts

 􀯽Operational and Business Goal Impacts

that may occur if processes are interrupted, by the 
relevant Head Office Divisions, and as a result of the 
evaluation, the “Criticality Level” of each process is 
determined as Very High, High, Medium, and Low. 
Business Continuity Plans are prepared on the basis 
of each Head Office Division in order to ensure that 
the processes can be restored before the anticipated 
Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD) in case 
of any interruption.

The Information Systems Continuity Plan, which is a part 
of the Bank’s Business Continuity Management Program, 
ensures the continuity of information systems services 
that maintain the continuity of İşbank’s activities in the 
event of an interruption and ensures that critical business 
functions are restarted effectively and efficiently in the 
event of a major interruption in the Bank’s computer and 
communication resources.

The potential impacts natural disasters and extreme 
weather conditions may have on our operations are 
included among the location-based extraordinary 
conditions the branch/regional/general directorate units 
may face within the activities conducted for ensuring 
the Bank’s business and service continuity and among 
extraordinary conditions which may cause interruptions 
in terms of providing the continuity of the Bank’s 
systems. Said risks are considered in the corporate crisis 
management processes, and in case said risks occur, the 
emergency management processes to be implemented 
are all defined in the Business Continuity Plans and IS 
Continuity Plan.

Employee Loyalty 
and Satisfaction

İşbank believes that the fundamental basis of business 
success is employee loyalty and satisfaction and 
considers it a key responsibility to provide a satisfying 
work environment for its employees. The Bank has 
a deeply-rooted corporate culture and supports 
employees with their requirements according to today's 
modern world. Thanks to its deep-rooted culture and 
a work approach that keeps pace with the times, 
employees remain a part of the İşbank family for many 
years.

Employee loyalty and satisfaction are regularly 
measured through surveys in the Bank. The results of 
these surveys, which are conducted in the areas of 
training activities, performance management, career 
management, recruitment process, remuneration, and 
rewarding, aiming to increase employee satisfaction, 
are evaluated by managers and enable the necessary 
improvements to be made.

In 2022, 90% of the Bank’s employees participated in 
the employee loyalty and satisfaction survey conducted 
with the support of a consulting firm. In this study, the 
employee loyalty rate was measured as 60%.

Practices that support employee satisfaction at İşbank 
include online tours and workshops, culture and art 
events, special employee discounts obtained from 
various organizations, and practices aimed at increasing 
employee volunteering support. The running team, 
which also included employees of the Bank, attended 
marathons for the benefit of different foundations 
in 2022 and collected donations for the relevant 
foundations with the support of our employees.

The presence of long-term employees is an important 
indicator of employee satisfaction and loyalty. 76% of its 
employees have been working for İşbank for more than 
10 years. As of year-end 2022, the employee turnover 
rate was around 1.90%✓, and the voluntary turnover rate 
was 3.75%.

Employee Rights

The Future of Business 
and New Working Models

İşbank guarantees a work environment where employee 
rights are fully respected. All the Bank employees are 
free to join trade unions within the scope of freedom 
of association and act of their own free will. 97.5% 
of the Bank’s employees are union members. The 
Remuneration Policy, which is based on the Bank's 
internal regulations and the provisions of legal legislation, 
especially the Collective Labor Agreement, defines all 
economic and social rights of employees. The ultimate 
authority and responsibility for ensuring that the Bank’s 
remuneration practices are managed effectively within 
the framework of the relevant legislation and this 
Policy rests with the Bank’s Board of Directors. The 
İşbank Remuneration Committee is responsible for the 
preparation of decisions regarding remuneration to be 
submitted to the Board of Directors for approval, ensuring 
the compliance of remuneration with the Bank's risk 
appetite, ethical values, internal balances, and strategic 
goals, and regularly monitoring the effectiveness of the 
Policy.

It is essential that the remuneration of the Bank's 
managers and employees at all levels is in line with the 
Bank's ethical values, internal balances, and strategic 
goals and is not associated with the Bank's performance.

The salaries of senior executives are determined in 
accordance with the Bank's strategies, long-term goals 
and risk management structure and are designed to 
prevent excessive risk taking. The wage package of the 
Bank consists of salary, bonus, meals, foreign language 
compensation, dividend payment determined by the 
Articles of Incorporation, and other fringe payments that 
may vary depending on seniority and/or scope of the job. 
Payments such as high productivity allowance, product-
based sales bonuses, and executive bonuses may 
also be made to employees in line with their individual 
performance.

In the coming period, it is planned to establish an 
incentive-based remuneration system for the Executive 
Board and other senior executives based on specific 
performance indicators related to sustainability in line 
with the Bank’s strategic priorities.

Manager and manager candidates working in branches 
and the Head Office divisions receive premium 
payments on an annual basis. Attention is paid to ensure 
that the manager premium payments are aligned with 
the performance of employees, the Bank's long-term 
strategy and the risks assumed. There is no variable 
remuneration practice for key employees in the Bank.

In 2022, the “Personalized Goal Setting and Systematic 
Bonus” was introduced to cover all employees, and the 
target cards consisting of individual and team goals 
began to be used to evaluate the success of business 
results.

Within the Collective Bargaining Agreement signed 
with the Bank-Finance and Insurance Workers Union 
(BASİSEN), all employees, regardless of title and seniority, 
are eligible for healthcare benefits as per the principles 
of the Healthcare Benefit Implementation Regulation, 
as well as facilities such as food service and personnel 
transportation services, and other benefits and support 
packages such as marriage support package, maternity 
allowance, child allowance, natural disaster support, 
goods transportation allowance and immigration 
allowance. Part-time employment of university students 
under contracts has started at İşbank, but these 
employees cannot benefit from the provisions of the 
Collective Labor Agreement due to their individual 
contracts. 

At İşbank, the principle of freedom of employment 
and contract applies. At İşbank, which is among 
the organizations with the highest rate of unionized 
employees in the sector, there are no activities that pose 
a risk of forced labor.

In 2022, online sports workshops were organized 
for employees. Relevant videos were shared through 
an application that employees can benefit from 
continuously.

İşbank supports its employees with practices that go 
beyond their fundamental rights and freedoms: 

 􀯽İşbank contributes to the sportive lives of its 
employees with the gym located in the Head 
Office and TUTOM buildings that is available for all 
employees.

 􀯽The Bank has practices that go beyond the 

legislation. Annual leave, maternity leave, disability 
and unpaid leave arrangements specified in the 
Collective Bargaining Agreement can be expanded 
to grant rights in favor of employees beyond the legal 
regulations. 

 􀯽There is also the practice of granting administrative 

leave by the direct managers upon request of 
employees for personal matters. The remote work 
practice put in place in connection with the pandemic 
means the employees now have more time to deal 
with their personal matters.

With the COVID 19 pandemic, the remote working 
culture entered business life. Until October 2022, the 
Bank tried different working models determined by 
prioritizing employee and customer health and closely 
monitored the development of many parameters such 
as employee loyalty, employee happiness, business 
performance, and customer satisfaction. In the reporting 
period, when pandemic-related concerns and health 
measures were almost over, it was observed that remote 
and hybrid working was adopted as a valid, new working 
model in the world and in our country. Thus, until the end 
of 2023, İşbank employees will continue to work with a 
setup of;

 􀯽Remote working for teams in the fields of technology, 
remote service, remote sales, and operations working 
at least 2 days a month in the office,

 􀯽Hybrid working for business units and development 

teams, 

 􀯽Full-time office work for teams that need to be in the 

office due to the nature of their work.

In addition to Head Office employees, branch employees 
can also work remotely in line with the principles to be 
determined at the initiative of the branch manager.

In addition to the Head Office premises, modern offices 
called MaxiOfis are being opened in different provinces 
in line with the “İşim Her Yerde” approach and with the 
principle that these jobs can be performed from “An 
İşbank Office” at any location where employees are 
located, in cases where the work to be done can be 
performed independently of the location. Considering 
the office usage needs evolving with the new working 
model, 8 MaxiOfis locations were opened in Istanbul, 
Izmir, Ankara, Adana, Antalya, and Trabzon, which can be 
used by all employees whose work is suitable for remote 
working, especially remote workers and employees 
assigned to different cities.

In office designs, the aim is to create spaces that offer 
comfort, flexibility, and new opportunities that increase 
employees’ sense of belonging and strengthen 
positive interaction in business life with social space 

solutions considering community health. Realized with 
this vision, MaxiOfis locations are contemporary and 
modern workspaces with spacious and next-generation 
design, cafés and recreation areas, libraries and private 
meeting rooms. These offices are organized according 
to the hybrid working setup, with desks and meeting 
rooms made available to all İşbank employees by being 
included in the booking system. In this way, workspaces 
that can be booked and used for different purposes such 
as collaborative work, events, meetings, and customer 
meetings, when needed, are available to all employees 
without space and table ownership and can be used 
more effectively and efficiently.

In order to manage human resources effectively 
and to provide location-independent access to the 
next-generation competencies needed, functions 
such as remote service, remote sales, data analytics, 
and operations, which the Head Office units want to 
expand strategically, were made functional under the 
scope of competency lines.  With assignments to these 
functions, the aim is to increase the welfare and standard 
of living of more employees by meeting the demands 
of employees who request transfers to different cities. 
MaxiOfis locations are being determined by taking 
into account the demands and needs of employees.  
With this practice, the Bank is able to access the next-
generation competencies it needs regardless of location, 
and employees are offered different career alternatives. 
Currently, 445 employees are performing their duties in 
this context. Also in 2023, the Bank plans to continue 
opening new MaxiOfis locations where needed and to 
assign employees in Anatolia to these offices within the 
scope of the competency lines specified.

With the introduction of remote and hybrid working and 
the experience that flexible working models are also 
applicable, employees have found the opportunity to 
work from different cities within the framework of their 
needs. Employees who request it have the opportunity to 
work permanently in MaxiOfis locations opened outside 
Istanbul if their managers find it appropriate. In this 
way, it has been possible to create an alternative to the 
increasingly difficult living conditions in Istanbul.

Agile Workshop

Despite its large corporate structure, İşbank is an 
institution with fast decision-making processes. An 
important component of this working system is the “agile 
areas” established in critical areas. In agile areas where 
employees from different functions come together, fast 
and innovative solutions are created for critical questions. 

With the addition of the 10 Agile Areas in 2022, there are 
now a total of 22 Agile Areas, 1,500 employees working 
with the agile working model, and 185 Agile Teams.

Within the Agile Academy, a training catalogue and 
learning journeys consisting of 23 modules were 
designed in a structure that can serve external 
companies. 

In 2022, within the agile transformation efforts, divisions 
with functions such as payment systems and product 
development were restructured under the agile working 
model in line with İşbank’s strategic goals and started 
their activities with a focus on providing more innovative 
products and services to our customers. The Agile 
Service Unit, which creates value for the customer and 
receives business from the same service pool, was put 
into practice.

With the Panel, which was commissioned to strengthen 
the institutional framework of the agile working model 
and to ensure that employees’ Field-Team-Competence 
Line-Role information can be monitored instantly through 
the system, employee information working in agile 
organizations can be monitored and reported instantly 
through the system. The new Software Development 
Life Cycle, which ensures that all existing processes, 
from the planning of a job in agile areas to the period 
after it is taken into the production environment, are 
carried out in accordance with the agile model, has been 
implemented in all areas. In the JIRA application, where 
agile teams engaged in software development carry out 
business planning, a Single Backlog structure where 
business and software needs can be managed through 
the same backlog was implemented. In this way, the 
software development and release processes of agile 
organizations have become more efficient. 

The structure required for measuring and evaluating the 
innovation rate in the works produced by Agile Teams 
has been put into operation. As of 2023, the aim is to take 
various actions to increase the innovation rate of Agile 
Team work lists through monitoring.

In 2023, it is planned to spread agile values and an agile 
mindset in all Head Office Divisions.

The following results 
were obtained with the 
evaluations made in 2022.

Our Gender Equality Strategy

İşbank has supported women since its 
foundation. By becoming a signatory to the 
United Nations Women’s Empowerment 
Principles (WEPs) in 2020, the Bank reinforced 
this egalitarian approach and committed to 
playing a role in supporting and facilitating 
women’s participation in employment in 
Türkiye. Inclusion in the WEPs has created a 
complementary framework for existing efforts. 
As an extension of this approach, the Gender 
Equality Policy was established in 2021 with 
the decision of the Board of Directors. With 
the Board’s decision, the Board of Directors 
Diversity Policy was put into effect in 2022.

In 2022, a program was established to put 
the Bank’s efforts on gender equality into 
a structural framework under the Gender 
Equality Policy. The aim of this program is to 
develop good practices that create impact by 
considering all stakeholders in the Bank’s value 
chain. For this purpose, a 4-pillar structure was 
designed with the dimensions of employees, 
suppliers, customers, and society. Working 
Groups, which include various business units of 
the Bank, continue to work on this topic through 
various actions.

􀾑To access the Gender Equality Policy, 
please click here.

At İşbank, providing equal opportunity to all employees 
without discrimination is a material topic.  On the basis of 
diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity, discrimination 
based on factors such as gender, language, religion, 
ethnic origin, and age is not permitted in business 
processes.  Attaching special importance to ensuring 
gender equality, the Bank conducts training and 
practices in this regard.

İşbank is a signatory to the Women’s Empowerment 
Principles (WEPs), which were launched by the United 
Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative and aim to 
empower women to take part in economic life in all sectors 
and at all levels. The Bank is a corporate member of the 
30% Club’s Türkiye Network, an international initiative that 
aims to increase the number of women on the boards and 
in executive leadership of companies worldwide.

Career opportunities

The Remuneration Policy covers the employees and managers 
of the Bank at all levels and is under the responsibility of the 
Remuneration Committee, which directly reports to the Board 
of Directors. Remuneration is managed through transparent 
and measurable processes and systems, and there is no 
gender-based wage differentiation within the remuneration 
policy. As of December 2022, regardless of role and 
responsibility, the median salary payment to female employees 
in the Bank was 9% higher than the median salary paid to 
male employees.51

The 2022 “Gender Equality in Remuneration Audit Report” 
was submitted to the Audit Committee on 09.02.2023. 
The said report concluded that the remuneration of female 
and male employees did not differ according to gender in 
the conjugate study as of the date of commencement of 
employment, the date of the last title change, and the date of 
the last level change. 

51 In the calculations, monthly regular payments made to employees 
working in Türkiye as of November 2022 regardless of their performance 
were taken into account. Payments such as overtime pay, cash 
compensation, shift compensation and other social benefits and 
non-guaranteed payments made once a year were not taken into account.

A joint program was developed with Upschool to increase 
the number of competent women to work in technology and 
digital activities at İşbank. Only female candidates, who are 
the 4th can apply for the program, women who are 4th-year 
university students or graduates, are not over 30 years of age 
and succeeded in the evaluation process will receive technical 
training for 10 weeks and then have the opportunity to work 
in the Information Technologies, Data Management, or Head 
Office business lines at the Bank.

Awareness for equality

İşbank implements gender equality practices covering all 
employees and activities in line with the principles of equal 
opportunity and diversity. “Diversity and Inclusion” training 
was organized for Head Office and Branch managers. Aiming 
to raise awareness on unconscious prejudice, the training, 
in which gender equality and tools and methods to reduce 
discriminatory behaviors were discussed, was attended by 
313 managers in December 2021 and 1,794 managers in 
2022. The “Leader Women” Program was launched in 2022 
to encourage more active participation of female employees 
in management and to support their development on their 
way to senior management positions. 123 managers have 
participated in the program, which includes classroom 
trainings focusing on furthering leadership competencies, as 
well as experience-sharing meetings where participants will 
come together in small groups periodically throughout the 
year under the mentorship of experienced managers. The 
program is planned to continue in the future as well.

Within the scope of awareness-creating and consciousness-
raising trainings focused on themes that support İşbank's 
sustainability vision and the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals, the following Management Development 
Conferences were organized for managers and manager 
candidates: “Sexism Behind Politeness: Culture and 
Language”, “Sustainability through the Lens of Gender 
Equality”, and “Law Against Violence: Empowerment 
through Rights”. In addition, “Better is Possible with Inclusive 
Leadership” training in the Branch Managers Training 
Catalogue and “Women in Business Life and Inclusive 
Leadership” training in the Leader Women Program were 
organized. A total of 749 of our employees’ self-awareness on 
tacit prejudices was supported through these trainings.

A 2-hour “Diversity and Inclusion” course is provided to new 
recruits with the titles of Officer and Assistant Specialist within 
the Starting My Career Trainings and to employees promoted 
to Senior and Assistant Manager roles in the career training 
programs. In this course, tacit prejudice and gender equality 
are covered for 1 hour. In the 2-hour training “The Richness 
of Differences: Diversity and Inclusion”, which was included 
in the Training Catalogue offered to all our employees with 
the principle of equal opportunity, a 20-minute section of the 
training was on gender equality, and a 40-minute section was 
on tacit prejudice, totaling one hour of discussion on these 2 
topics, and a total of 1,204 people participated in the related 
trainings. In addition, discrimination, prejudices, and gender 
inequality topics were conveyed in the 45-minute section of 
the 2-hour “Equality in Language and Communication” training 
included in the Training Catalogue, and 60 people received this 
training. Furthermore, the “Ethical Principles and Operational 
Rules” digital training was made available to employees. The 
training included detailed information on the Bank’s ethical 
principles and operational rules; quality, compliance, and risk 
policies; the principles on the Policy for Combating Financial 
Crimes and Sanctions and Compliance Program, Compliance 
with Competition Law and provision of Information Security; 
and information on the “Ethics Hotline” where employees can 
report any violations or suspected violations of ethical principles. 
The Correct Approach towards Disability and Sign Language 
trainings continue to be offered as mandatory trainings.

İşbank always considers gender equality in its marketing and 
advertising activities. Women/female farmers play an important 
role in the agricultural sector. In order to demonstrate this 
importance and appreciation, the Bank evaluates its advertising 
and marketing content from this perspective and approaches 
the positioning of women, the expressions in texts, the selected 
visuals, and scenario flows within this framework. Content 
for use in the Bank’s marketing and advertising activities 
is prepared with sensitivity against gender discrimination, 
reviewed by the relevant teams before publication, and 
evaluated in terms of all prejudices and identity distinctions, 
including gender. In case some or all of the content is deemed 
inappropriate, feedback is provided to the relevant business 
units and contracted third-party companies, and business 
processes are also developed in this regard. In machine 
learning models, care is taken not to use gender information 
and information such as “date of maternity leave” that may 
lead to gender prediction. There were no complaints of gender 
discrimination in marketing and advertising activities.

Support for Women

In cooperation with TÜRKONFED and İşbank and with the 
support of UN Women Regional Office for Europe and Central 
Asia, the “WeLead (Leading Women Entrepreneurship for 
Accelerating Development)” project was launched for women 

entrepreneurs. The project aims to improve the capacities of 
entrepreneurial women and strengthen their communication 
networks. Within the project, training content on financial and 
non-financial topics was prepared for entrepreneurial women 
regardless of sector and scale.

Within this scope, face-to-face trainings on E-commerce, 
Digital Marketing and Global Marketplaces, and Gender 
Responsive Procurement were held in Istanbul on June 29, 
2022; Introduction to E-Commerce and Sales in Marketplaces

on December 15, 2022 on Facebook Ad Panel.

An Entrepreneur Women Meetings event was organized in 
Adıyaman on September 20, 2022.

By offering financial and non-financial services to women 
entrepreneur customers, the Bank aims to increase the loyalty 
of existing customers and acquire new ones. İşbank regularly 
monitors the depth score of women entrepreneur customers, 
which indicates product penetration and establishment of 
profitable relationships, product ownership means in POS and 
corporate credit card products, which make a high contribution 
to the expansion of the Bank’s demand deposit base, their 
total combined shares, and their Commercial NPL ratios. The 
Bank has Women Entrepreneur Loan and Eximbank Funded 
Women Entrepreneur Export Support Loan Campaigns for 
women entrepreneurs. 

Family-friendly employer

The family life of its employees is important for İşbank. 
Accordingly, the Bank conducts practices that support the 
balance between the work and private lives of its employees.

For female employees, pregnancy and the postpartum period 
can affect their work life. In order to avoid such disruptions, 
İşbank puts in place practices that will facilitate the return of 
female employees to work after childbirth. Thanks to these 
practices, 99.7%✓ of female employees who took maternity 
leave in 2022 returned to work.

The positions of female employees on maternity leave are 
preserved, and following the end of their leave, they can 
continue their duties in the same position and in the same 
location. They can request unpaid maternity leave before 
starting work or benefit from part-time work arrangements. 
For new mothers, breastfeeding rooms have been allocated 
to create a more comfortable working environment after 
maternity leave. Employees using breastfeeding breaks can 
also benefit from personnel transportation services. Mother 
and child benefit from the comprehensive health benefits 
offered by the Bank. Children between 36-72 months of 
age of female employees working at the Bank’s TUTOM 
location can benefit from the Private Tuzla Bilfen Kindergarten 
operating at the relevant location. All employees with children 
are provided with a maternity and child allowance. Male 
employees can take a longer paternity leave than the length of 
leave specified in the regulations.

Compliance with 
Operating Principles 

Employee Health 
and Safety

Preferred 
Employer

If, during routine audits conducted by the Board of 
Inspectors, suspicion arises that the Bank employees do 
not conform to work standards, or if the Board receives a 
claim that the operating principles are not complied with, the 
issue is meticulously reviewed. If tangible evidence is found 
that proves such suspicion or claim, the reports prepared 
to allow the necessary administrative decisions to be made 
in accordance with the Bank’s collective labor agreement 
and the legislation are reviewed by the Board and then 
transferred to the related Head Office Divisions for action.

For behaviors that are found to be in violation of the Bank's 
policies, the necessary disciplinary action, up to termination 
of the employment contract, is taken according to the 
Human Resources Regulation and applicable provisions 
and procedures of the Collective Labor Agreement. 
Where circumstances warrant legal action, the violation is 
brought to the attention of legal authorities. Accordingly, 46 
investigations were carried out and referred to the related 
Head Office Divisions in 2022.

Sexual harassment allegations submitted to the Board of 
Inspectors are examined by the Board, and the findings 
are transferred to the relevant disciplinary units of the 
organization in accordance with the provisions of legal and 
internal regulations.

Internal Communication and Employee 
Participation

For İşbank, the ideas and suggestions of our employees are 
valued. The Bank listens to the employees' suggestions, 
complaints and feedback via constant communication 
channels and reflects them in its management and decision-
making processes. There are various platforms aimed to 
systematically ensure employee participation at İşbank.

 􀯽As part of the Employee Communication Platforms and 
Programs (ÇİPP), trend surveys are conducted among 
employees, and they contribute to the planning of new 
activities. Innovations such as cultural tours, competitions 
and e-sports activities have been introduced via this 
platform, and the participation of employees in social 
responsibility activities has increased. Thanks to the 
hobby and interest groups created through ÇİPP, 
employees are given the opportunity to expand their 
communication networks within the Bank.

 􀯽HR Help Desk (Maximo) is a practice where employee 
opinions, evaluations, requests and complaints are 
received and forwarded to the relevant units.

 􀯽There are mechanisms based on in-house confidentiality 
where employees can report their complaints about the 
workplace. Employees can report actual or suspected 
violations of İşbank's Ethical Principles and Operational 
Rules, the Bank's policies and internal regulations, as 

well as national and international legislation via the 
Ethics Hotline. It is essential that the reports are kept 
confidential; and unless expressly requested, the name 
of the reporting person is kept confidential. Employees 
are not exposed to any disciplinary action, direct or 
indirect retaliation, or put at any disadvantage compared 
to their peers for reporting a violation.

 􀯽Submissions coming through the “Negative News Line” 
can only be viewed and directly answered by the CEO. 
Thus, employee privacy and confidentiality is protected 
at the highest level. In 2022, 761 employees created 
812 negative news items, and product and process 
improvements were evaluated by the related business 
divisions.

 􀯽The “About Me” platform was created to enable 

employees to communicate issues they deem useful to be 
known by the Human Resources Function and to support 
the Bank's decision-making processes with accurate 
and detailed information. The information entered on 
the platform can only be viewed by authorized persons 
in the Human Resources Management Division and by 
the employee themselves, and the confidentiality of the 
shared information is essential. Through this platform, 
employees can make notifications under the topics “About 
My Family”, “About My Health”, “I Have a Complaint”, “I Have 
a Wish”, and “About My Career”.

 􀯽The aim of the “I Have a Suggestion” application is to 
create new applications and solutions related to the 
banking system together with employees by utilizing 
their knowledge and experience, thereby improving and 
enhancing the customer experience. Suggestions can be 
entered into the system by all our employees, provided 
that they bring innovation and benefit to the Bank's 
practices and that each suggestion covers a single topic. 
Another aim of the application is to develop employees’ 
creativity and increase their sense of job satisfaction by 
making them more participatory. Suggestions entered 
by employees are subjected to a preliminary evaluation 
by the Corporate Architecture Division according to 
their prior presence in the agenda and availability in 
practice. Then, if necessary, they are directed to the 
relevant Divisions according to the subject matter. 
Suggestion owners are provided with responses via the 
system within a maximum of 15 days from the date of 
suggestion entry. Suggestion owners can monitor the 
outcome of their suggestions through the system. At the 
end of these processes, suggestion owners are given gift 
vouchers from İş Kültür Publications for suggestions that 
are deemed favorable and approved for implementation.

Within the reporting period, 3,669 out of 4,702 suggestions 
entered were evaluated by the relevant divisions, and 434 
were implemented. The remaining 1,033 suggestions are 
under evaluation. 

Ensuring a healthy and safe work environment for 
employees in compliance with international standards is 
one of the main responsibility areas of İşbank. The most 
authorized person in charge of OHS at İşbank is the Human 
Resources Management Division Manager, two reporting 
levels lower than the General Manager. In line with the 
provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Law, 
OHS Committees where employees are represented are 
established in the Bank's buildings having more than 50 
employees.

As of year-end 2022, there are 40 OHS Committees 
operating at İşbank. The OHS Committees convened 151✓ 
times during the year, with 361✓ committee members 
participating, including 107✓ employee representatives.

Maintaining a healthy and safe work environment is as 
important as providing such an environment. And this 
is possible if employees have OHS awareness. İşbank 
organizes trainings to increase OHS awareness among 
employees. In 2022, 49,344 person-hours of OHS training 
were provided to 9,454 employees.

İşbank’s Occupational Health and Safety Policy was 
approved by the Board of Directors, announced to all 
employees, and published on the Bank’s website.

International Award to İşbank in 
Occupational Health and Safety

In 2022, İşbank was awarded the “International 
Occupational Safety Award”, one of the most 
prestigious awards in the world in the field of 
occupational health and safety, organized by 
the British Safety Council.

In 2022, 49,344 person-
hours of OHS training were 
provided to 9,454 employees.

İşbank aims to become the preferred employer for 
qualified humancapital. By attracting a potential 
workforce, the Bank contributes to the development of 
young employees, increases the sustainability and brand 
value of the organization, and retains existing employees. 
The Bank communicates with potential employees and 
university students through various channels in order to 
reach potential qualified employees.

Communication with university students takes place 
via campus communication, student clubs and 
career centers. Employees representing the business 
divisions of the Bank share the corporate culture and 
their personal experiences with the youth. In-house 
technologies and innovation studies are communicated 
to the students.

Within the scope of the Master Class Internship Program 
and Future Hub programs for students in their last two 
years of university education, young people are provided 
with the opportunity to get to know the institution closely, 
work on joint projects with current employees, and gain 
personal and professional development opportunities 
through online training.

Depending on the requirements of the position, online 
exams and recruitment processes are monitored. Thanks 
to online applications, the Bank offers employment 
opportunities throughout the country. There are 
internship programs for students in their last two years 
of university education, which allow young people to 
become more familiar with the Bank, observe existing 
employees, and benefit from their perspectives.

Besides universities, İşbank also collaborates with 
non-governmental organizations. As a result of such 
collaborations, various development programs are 
undertaken. Through projects carried out jointly with 
U2C, Upschool organizations, 1 million jobs program and 
the Yenibirlider Association, part-time work opportunities 
are offered to university students, and the Future Hub 
Development Program is organized for young people. 
Within the scope of development programs, university 
students are offered mentorship, as well as the right 
to benefit from in-house trainings and the opportunity 
to participate in art events organized by the Bank and 
İş Sanat. This not only helps young people in their 
education but also enriches their cultural and personal 
development.

content such as videos, e-learning, and games, from a 
single platform via the “Learning World” digital learning

Information on Risk Management 
Policies Applied per Risk Types

Besides banking activities, both financial and non-
financial risks encompassing the whole group required to 
be analyzed, monitored and reported from the standpoint 
of group risk management in addition to that of banking-
specific risk management principles. Beyond regulatory 
requirements this aspect of risk management has 
become an industry standard for corporate governance.

The risk management process, organized within 
the framework of advanced risk management 
methodologies and favors a common risk management 
culture throughout the establishment, is structured 
to emphasize good corporate governance, assuring 
segregation of units responsible for monitoring and 
controlling risk from executive functions. In that respect, 
risk definition, measurement, analysis, monitoring, 
reporting and control functions are carried out within the 
same framework.

The process of risk management and the functions 
involved in that process are among the highest priority 
responsibilities of the İşbank Board of Directors. The 
Risk Management Division, which acts through the Risk 
Committee and Operational Risk Committee and forms 
a functional constituent of the risk management function 
in collaboration with the Bank Credit Committee and the 
Asset & Liability Management Committee, carries out 
the works towards the regulatory and internal capital 
adequacy in accordance with the Basel framework and 
consistent with international best practices, in addition 
to working towards developing and validating risk 
measurement methodologies and optimizing the capital 
adequacy management process. 

Capital Adequacy Policy

Capital Adequacy Policy defines the level of capital, on 
consolidated and unconsolidated basis, that the Bank 
must hold against potential losses arising from financial 
risks associated with on and off-balance sheet items 
in addition to non-financial risks caused by the Bank’s 
operations; and establishes the principles for maintaining 
and monitoring the minimum capital levels determined in 
accordance with the regulations and the Internal Capital 
Adequacy Assessment Process. Capital Adequacy 
Policy is an integral part of the Risk Policies.

Credit Risk Policy

Credit risk is defined as the probability of the Bank 
having a loss due to the counterparty not fulfilling the 
obligation partially or fully on maturity as affirmed in the 
agreement. Credit Risk Policy sets the framework for 
credit risk management, control and monitoring, roles 
and responsibilities and credit risk limits.

İşbank maintains identification, measurement and 
management of credit risk across all products and 
activities as defined in the Article 48 of the Banking 
Law. The Board reviews credit risk policies and 
strategies annually at minimum. CEO, and the other chief 
executives and the division heads that are involved in the 
credit lifecycle are responsible for the execution of credit 
risk policies.

The credit risk profile of the Bank is continuously 
monitored. The trend of risk factors and the changes in 
these factors are reported to the  senior management 
regularly. Avoiding concentration is essential in 
managing credit risk. Concentration in the credit 
portfolio is monitored by taking the balance of earnings, 
riskiness and capital charges into account. To this end, 
limits specified by the Board of Directors based on 
counterparties, industry, credit type, collateral, country, 
maturity, currency etc. are implemented.

In managing credit risk, İşbank implements internal risk 
limits specified by the Board of Directors that restrict the 
maximum credit risk based on parameters such as risk 
groups and sectors in addition to the credit risk limits 
that are mandated by legal regulations. These internal 
limits are determined in a way that does not lead to risk 
concentrations. 

İşbank employs internal credit risk rating systems in 
managing credit risk. Internal credit risk rating systems 
and artificial intelligence applications are employed with 
the capability to monitor credit risk on a portfolio basis; to 
calculate expected and unexpected credit losses and to 
assess credit risk correctly in credit pricing, performance 
management, sales and marketing. The assessment and 
management of the risks related to the models are done 
according to the Model Risk Management Policy.

İşbank 2022 Integrated Annual Report  151

Asset and Liability Management Risk 
Policy

Asset and liability management risk is defined as; the risk 
of loss caused by Bank’s failure to effectively manage all 
financial risks arising from the bank's assets, liabilities 
and off-balance sheet transactions. Market risk of trading 
book, structural interest rate risk of banking book and 
liquidity risk are all within the scope of asset and liability 
management risk.

All principles and procedures related to constitution 
and management of Bank’s asset-liability structure 
and Bank’s risk appetite is established by the Board 
of Directors. Ensuring asset and liability management 
risk being maintained within the levels imposed by 
legislation and internal risk limits is the first priority. Within 
the Bank’s risk appetite framework risk tolerance levels 
which aim to put a cap on the amount of risk undertaken 
by the Bank are determined by Board of Directors for 
each risk type on both bank-only and consolidated 
basis. In this process, liquidity, target income level and 
general expectations about the risk factors are taken into 
consideration.

Board of Directors and Audit Committee are obliged 
to track that Bank’s capital is used optimally. For this 
purpose, they have to keep risks under control and 
ensure necessary actions being taken.  

Asset-Liability Management Committee is responsible 
for governance of asset and liability management risk 
in accordance with the risk appetite framework and risk 
limits determined by Board of Directors and within the 
principles and procedures expressed in ALM risk policy. 

Measuring asset and liability management risk, reporting 
the results and monitoring the compliance with the risk 
limits are the responsibilities of Risk Management Division. 
The level of the risk taken is reviewed under different 
scenarios. Measurement results are tested in terms of 
reliability and integrity. Asset and liability management risk 
is reported to Risk Committee and reported to the Board of 
Directors through Audit Committee.

Compliance with risk limits is closely and continuously 
monitored by Risk Management Division, Asset-Liability 
Management Committee and related business units. In 
the event of a breach in the risk limits, the breach and 
its reasons are instantly reported to Board of Directors 
through Audit Committee. Course of action needed to be 
taken in order to eliminate the breach is determined by 
the Board.

Asset and liability management processes and 
compliance with the policy rules are audited by internal 
audit system. The principles regarding the audit process, 
audit reports and fulfillment of action plans to eliminate 
the errors and gaps determined by internal audit are 
established by the Board of Directors. 

Stress Testing Policy

The purpose of the Stress Testing Policy is to measure 
the significant risks and vulnerabilities that may arise 
from both bank specific adverse developments or from 
stress conditions on general economic and financial 
environment.

Stress testing programme is defined as the collection 
of studies and analyses to assess the risks generated 
by Bank’s activities and the programme covers the 
methodologies, assumptions and scenarios related 
with those analyses. In order to ensure the validity 
and appropriateness of the results; stress testing 
programme is regularly monitored and updated taking 
into consideration the current economical conjuncture 
and market conditions, Bank’s products, strategies 
and technological capabilities and Bank’s risk appetite 
framework.

Bank implements a stress testing programme oriented 
to assess the risks both from a holistic view (i.e. bank-
wide stress tests) and on the basis of the important risk 
types (i.e. individual stress tests) in accordance with the 
regulations and internal procedures and the results are 
reported to the senior management, Board of Directors 
and other related legal authorities.

The Board of Directors is responsible for conducting 
the stress testing programme as a whole. The Board 
of Directors ensures that the outputs of the stress 
testing programme are evaluated and used as an input 
for decision making on the relevant fields. Executing 
the analyses included in stress testing programme, 
reporting the outputs of the stress tests and monitoring 
the compliance with respect to the risk limits are the 
responsibility of Risk Management Division. The scope 
of the stress testing programme, the set of risk factors 
to be used in the analyses and the level of the stress 
parameters are determined by Risk Committee.

The processes related to stress testing and compliance 
with the policy rules are audited by internal audit system. 
The principles regarding the audit process, audit reports 
and fulfillment of action plans to eliminate the errors and 
gaps determined by internal audit are established by the 
Board of Directors.

Employees have the understanding of the Bank's 
objective to attain a working environment aiming to reduce 
the probability of loss, considering that the entire internal 
rules and procedures, led by operational risk policy, and act 
sensitively to the inherited operational risks and controls. 

Reputational Risk Policy

Reputational risk is defined as loss of trust to the Bank or 
reputation impairment as a result of non-compliance with 
existing legal regulations or negative view of parties such 
as current or potential customers, partners, opponents and 
supervisory authorities and related studies are conducted 
by Risk Management Division. Reputational Risk Policy 
determines principles and procedures for definition, 
evaluation, control, monitoring, reporting and management 
activities of reputational risk sources.

Reputational risk sources are evaluated both individually 
and as a whole, appropriate systems and controls 
are established to manage risky elements efficiently. 
Risk Management Division is responsible for reporting 
reputational risk evaluations periodically to Risk 
Committee, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

All the employees execute their functions with the 
responsibility of preserving the reputation of the Bank.

Consolidated Risk Policies

Compliance with risk management principles related 
to the Bank’s subsidiaries is monitored according 
to Bank’s Consolidated Risk Policies. Through 
Consolidated Risk Policies, subsidiaries identify their 
specific risk management policies which are approved 
by their boards that form the framework of their risk 
management systems and processes. Risk levels of 
subsidiaries are monitored closely by Risk Management 
Division and reported periodically to the Risk Committee 
and the Board.

Operational Risk Policy

Operational risk is defined as “the risk of loss resulting 
from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and 
systems or from external events”. This definition includes 
legal risk. Risk Management Division is responsible 
for the risk management activity on this particular risk. 
Operational risk management activities comprise defining, 
measuring, analyzing, monitoring and reporting, controlling 
of operational risks, following up the new techniques 
on management of operational risks besides regulatory 
and internal reporting. The fundamental principles and 
procedures of risk management are determined in 
Operational Risk Policy.

Categorization of inherited operational risks within the 
activities and processes is made possible by the Risk 
Catalogue. It serves as the basic document to define 
and classify the risks and is subject to alteration as 
conditions change. Risk Catalogue is modified in line with 
the improving risk management practices and changing 
regulations.

Operational risk is managed on the basis of the three 
lines of defense approach within the framework of risk 
management policies approved by the Board. Risk 
appetite and affiliated internal limits which are determined 
by the Board for the operational risks are monitored 
periodically. Internal and external factors that may affect 
banking operations negatively are considered in the 
process of determining operational risks. Operational risk 
management process combines both qualitative and 
quantitative approaches in measurement and assessment. 
In the process of measurement and assessment, risks 
are prioritized with respect to financial, legal, reputational 
and operational effects of operational risks that Bank is 
exposed to. Apart from the calculations executed within 
the scope of legislation, “internal measurement methods”, 
“impact - likelihood analysis”, “loss data analysis”, “scenario 
analysis”, “stress testing” and “key risk indicators” are 
utilized. Studies are reported to the Board through Risk 
Committee and Operational Risk Committee.

Operational risks that the Bank is exposed in the banking 
and information systems processes, risk levels of new 
product, service and activities, support and valuation 
services, operational risk related loss events and risk 
indicators are monitored regularly by Risk Management 
Division and reported periodically to the Risk Committee, 
Operational Risk Committee and the Board.

Information Systems Management 
Policy

The purpose of the Information Systems Management 
Policy is to determine the principles regarding 
identification, measurement, monitoring, control, 
reporting and management of risks arising from 
information systems management. With this policy, it 
is intended to effectively manage information systems, 
which is a critical element for sustaining Bank's activities, 
by considering information systems management as 
a part of corporate risk management practices. The 
provisions of this policy are applied in the management 
of the Bank's information systems and all elements 
containing these systems.

Risks derived from information technologies are basically 
assessed within the scope of Bank’s operational risk 
management framework. It is essential that those risks 
which could be seen as multipliers of the other risks 
derived from activities of the Bank are measured, closely 
monitored and controlled within Bank’s integrated risk 
management framework.

Model Risk Management Policy

The purpose of the Model Risk Management Policy is 
to regulate the procedures and principles, regarding 
the model risk management by considering the end 
to end life cycle of the models used by the Bank. With 
the policy, it is aimed to manage the model risk, caused 
by errors, malfunctions or deficiencies in the life cycle 
of the models used in the activities of the Bank, with a 
holistic perspective.

In the bank, model risk is managed by the three line of 
defense structure; first line of defense (model owner, 
model development team, model implementation 

team, model user), second line of defense (model risk 
management team, validation team, internal control) 
and the third line of defense (internal audit). Model risk 
management covers the entire model life cycle. The 
main activities in each step of the model life cycle and 
the responsibilities within the scope of these activities 
are determined in the policy.

Climate Change Risk Policy

Climate change includes “transition risks” that may 
be encountered due to the transition to a low carbon 
economy and “physical risks” that may arise due 
to the effects of climate change on nature. Bank’s 
Climate Change Risk Policy regulates the principles 
and procedures regarding the identification, definition, 
evaluation and/or measurement, monitoring, control, 
reporting and management of climate change risks that 
the Bank may be exposed to as a result of its activities.

Climate change risk, in addition to being a type of risk that 
the Bank may be directly exposed to, may also arise due 
to other risks that may occur during the execution of its 
operations. Therefore, Climate Change Risk Policy is an 
integral part of the Bank's other Risk Policies.

The main purpose of climate change risk management 
is to ensure the compatibility of the Bank's activities and 
practices with its climate change strategy. Responsibilities 
regarding climate change risk management, have been 
defined within the framework of the three line of defense. 
Basically, the task of the first line is to ensure that credit 
decisions are made taking into account the risks of climate 
change throughout the lending process. The second 
line determines the working principles, rules, policies and 
requirements regarding climate change risk. The third 
line provides assurance to the Board of Directors that the 
structure described here is functioning properly.

Audit Committee’s Assessment on the Operation of Internal 
Audit, InternalAudit, Compliance and Risk Management 
Systems, and its Activities in the Reporting Period

Internal Audit

Reporting to the Board of Directors of İşbank, the Board 
of Inspectors conducts audits of the Bank’s Head Office 
divisions, banking processes, information systems, 
domestic and foreign branches, and the activities of 
consolidated subsidiaries. The audits aim to provide 
assurance that the Bank’s activities are in compliance 
with legal regulations, the Bank’s strategies, policies, 
principles, and goals. The work carried out in this 
direction prioritizes the assessment of the effectiveness 
of the processes for identifying risks and developing 
the necessary controls within the framework of the 
activities of the first and second lines of defense. In 
accordance with national and international quality 
standards, audits are conducted on-site or remotely, 
depending on business needs, with a modern and risk-
focused approach, utilizing the strength of the Board 
of Inspectors’ deep-rooted audit culture and advanced 
information technologies.

The Board of Inspectors also conducts preliminary 
inspections, examinations, and investigations into 
suspicions of internal crime.

The audit reports prepared as a result of the inspection 
activities are communicated to the senior management 
and relevant divisions via the Audit Committee, and 
the measures taken in response to the findings are 
monitored by the Board of Inspectors. The Board of 
Directors closely monitors the activities of the Board of 
Inspectors through monthly activity reports submitted via 
the Audit Committee.

İşbank’s banking processes and information systems 
are annually audited by the Board of Inspectors in 
a risk-based manner to provide the basis for the 
Management's Declaration to be submitted to an 
independent auditor in accordance with the "Regulation 
over External Audit Institutions’ Information Systems and 
Banking Processes Audits" published by the Turkish 
Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA). In 
this context, during the audit of the financial reporting 
process within the routine banking processes, the 
preparation of the consolidated financial statements 
as well as the unconsolidated financial statements are 
reviewed by the Board of Inspectors. In addition, during 
the regular audits of subsidiaries, the financial reports 
submitted by the related companies are reviewed within 
legal regulations and basic accounting principles such as 
accuracy and completeness.

In 2022, audits were conducted in domestic and foreign 
branches, as well as in the Head Office Divisions and 
Units, subsidiaries and Regional Directorates. In addition, 
the Bank’s loans to the top 400 companies with the 
highest credit risk, which constitute 47% of the Bank’s 
total loans, were audited.

The following audits were conducted:

 䬏Portfolio (Collective) Custody Service, 
 䬏Sustainability Management System,
 䬏Gender Equality in Remuneration,
 䬏Compliance Program on Prevention of Laundering 
Proceeds of Crime and the Financing of Terrorism,
 䬏Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Group Compliance Program on 

Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime,

 䬏London Branch Compliance Program on Prevention of 

Laundering Proceeds of Crime,

 䬏Valuation Services Received by İşbank,
 䬏Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process 

(ICAAP),

 䬏Compliance with the Guidelines on Loan Allocation 

and Monitoring Processes.

The management of customer complaints is also audited 
by the Board of Inspectors, and customer complaints 
received directly by the Board of Inspectors through 
various channels, including the Ethics Line, are inspected 
on a case-by-case basis..

Compliance

Compliance is the foremost duty and responsibility 
of all managers and employees of İşbank at any level. 
Compliance functions and activities executed in the 
Bank's Head Office divisions, domestic and overseas 
branches, and its subsidiaries are monitored by the 
Corporate Compliance Division, which reports to the 
Board of Directors. The purpose of the Corporate 
Compliance Division is to make the maximum 
contribution to the Bank's efforts to effectively manage 
and control compliance risk according to a materiality- 
and risk-based approach and to ensure the execution 
and management of the Bank's activities in accordance 
with applicable laws, regulations and standards at all 
times. 

Employees of the Sanctions and International 
Obligations Unit participate in various events such 
as seminars, trainings and conferences organized by 
international organizations such as SIBOS, ACAMS, 
correspondent banks, data provider companies, various 
authorities, or other institutions.

􀈹 The Compliance Risk Management Policy and 
Combating Financial Crimes and Sanctions Policy 
are available at www.isbank.com.tr under “Investor 
Relations/Corporate Governance”.

Internal Control

The main objective of the internal control system is to 
provide the maximum contribution to achieve İşbank’s 
corporate targets set in accordance with the Bank’s 
vision, mission and strategies, as well as stakeholder 
expectations. To this end, the performance required to 
ensure that all components of the internal control system 
operate together in an integrated and effective manner, 
under the supervision of İşbank’s Board of Directors, with 
the contribution and support of all İşbank’s employees, 
is being rigorously carried out with professional care and 
attention.

For this purpose, “on-site” and/or “remote” controls 
have been carried out by the Internal Control Division 
with a risk-oriented approach on the activities of the 
Bank’s domestic and foreign branches and Head Office 
units, financial reporting and information systems, and 
internal control structures of the subsidiaries subject to 
consolidation.

Activities for central and continuous monitoring of 
the effectiveness of controls by using advanced data 
analytics applications were conducted.

Besides being the "Compliance Officer" of the Bank, 
the Head of the Corporate Compliance Division is also 
a member of the Risk Committee and Operational Risk 
Committee and a consultant member of the ISSteering 
Committee, Business and ISContinuity Committee, 
Information Security Committee, and Information Sharing 
Committee.

The Bank also oversees the effective execution of the 
corporate compliance activities of its subsidiaries. The 
necessary researching, analyzing, monitoring, assessing, 
informing, conducting, coordinating and reporting activities 
regarding compliance issues are conducted within the 
Corporate Compliance Division, which consists of three 
sub-units, namely Regulatory Compliance, Fiscal Crimes, 
and Sanctions and International Obligations.

The duties and responsibilities of the Compliance Officer as 
specified in the Law on Prevention of Laundering Proceeds 
of Crime and other applicable regulations are fulfilled by 
the Head of the Corporate Compliance Division, who is

of the Corporate Compliance Division also serves as the 
"Compliance Officer" of the Financial Group, the parent 
company of which is the Bank, in accordance with MASAK 
(Financial Crimes Investigation Board) regulations.

Activities regarding the prevention of financial crimes 
and sanctions at İşbank are executed in a purposeful and 
effective manner in accordance with applicable regulations 
and the Bank’s Policy and Compliance Program, which were 
developed for this purpose.

The results of the reviews were analyzed by the Internal 
Control Division, and developing proposals, monitoring 
and follow-up activities intended for eliminating the 
existing deficiencies and preventing the recurrence of 
the defects were continued.

In order to contribute to their professional development, 
İşbank’s internal control personnel were provided with 
various trainings throughout the year. The Internal 
Control Division also supported the trainings given to 
İşbank’s employees in order to increase the awareness of 
internal control activities across the organization.

In 2022, in accordance with İşbank’s Sustainability 
Policy, control activities regarding the operations carried 
out within the scope of the Sustainability Management 
System were conducted. The "internal audit" activities 
defined within the scope of ISO 14001 - Environmental 
Management System are carried out by the Internal 
Control Division.

İşbank’s internal control system and internal control 
activities are structured and operated to make sure that 
the Bank’s assets are protected, the Bank’s activities 
are carried out in compliance with the Law and other 
relevant legislations, the Bank’s internal policies, 
guidelines, and banking practices, accounting and 
financial reporting systems function securely and in 
integrity, and information is provided promptly.

The design and operational effectiveness of the internal 
control activities carried out by the relevant units in the 
process is regularly examined by the Internal Control 
Division, which is an independent function. In the 
inspections conducted by the Internal Control Division in 
2022, no significant disruption was found in the internal 
controls in place to ensure the effective, reliable, and 
uninterrupted execution of the Bank’s activities and 
services, as well as the integrity, consistency, reliability, 
timely availability, and security of the information 
provided by the accounting and financial reporting 
system.

Efficient Risk Management

At İşbank, the risk management process puts "good 
corporate governance" to the forefront and ensures 
the segregation of units responsible for monitoring and 
controlling risk from executive functions, identifies risks in 
accordance with international regulations and facilitates 
measurement, analysis, monitoring, reporting and control 
functions.

The risks to which the Bank is exposed are managed 
with a triple defense line. The first line of defense is 
comprised of the executive units and is responsible for 
identifying and assessing risks, ensuring continuous 
implementation of risk management, designing and 
putting process controls in place, and reporting results 
according to the Bank's risk appetite, rules, procedures 
and risk strategies. The second line of defense is 
comprised of the Risk Management Division, Corporate 
Compliance Division and Internal Control Division, which 
report to the Board of Directors. The Risk Management 
Division is responsible for creating the risk policies and 
risk catalogue and updating them as necessary, setting 
and updating control targets for the risks, measuring, 
monitoring and reporting the risks, and developing a risk 
management framework. The Internal Control Division 
tests the effectiveness of controls, while the Corporate 
Compliance Division sets the policy for compliance risks 
and establishes the principles regarding the control 
targets for compliance risks. In the third line of defense, 
the Board of Inspectors is responsible for conducting an 
independent audit of the risk management framework 
and control systems to ensure their effectiveness and 
adequacy.

The Risk Committee, which was established to share 
risk management principles within the Bank in order to 
reflect them in decision-making and implementation 
processes, is responsible for articulating the risk 
management strategies and policies of the Bank on a 
consolidated and unconsolidated basis, submitting them 
to the Board of Directors for approval and monitoring 
their implementation. Furthermore, the Operational Risk 
Committee operates to improve the operational risk 
management framework and strengthen the governance 
model regarding operational risks.

İşbank 2022 Integrated Annual Report  159

The Bank's risk management practices are intended to 
create a common risk culture across the organization. 
Risk management activities are based on the regulations 
and good practices guidelines published by the 
Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA). 
Besides compliance with regulatory limits, the Bank also 
ensures capital and liquidity adequacy against all risks 
undertaken by the Bank as part of the Internal Capital 
Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).

The Risk Management Division, which is the main 
executing body of central risk management activities 
at the Bank, carries out activities related to regulatory 
and internal capital adequacy to ensure compliance 
with the Basel framework and international best 
practices, develops and validates risk measurement 
methodologies, and optimizes the capital adequacy 
management process. The Bank’s level of risk exposure 
is systematically monitored in accordance with the 
written risk policies and implementation procedures. 
The Bank runs the risk management process as per 
internal regulations approved by the Board of Directors, 
including Capital Adequacy, Credit Risk, Asset-Liability 
Management Risk, Operational Risk, Model Risk, 
Climate Change Risk, Stress Testing, Reputational 
Risk, Consolidated Risk and Information Systems 
Management Policies. 

The Bank uses impact-probability analysis, loss event 
data analysis, scenario analysis, stress testing and risk 
indicators in addition to the prioritization of risk in the 
measurements related to operational risks. The risks 
which are defined in the Risk Catalogue and for which 
the management principles are explained in detail in the 
risk policies are reviewed annually, as a minimum, and the 
related definitions and principles are kept up-to-date.

In order to manage the Bank's risk profile and conduct 
a prospective assessment of it, the scenario analysis 
method is used to assess the impact on conjectural 
but unexpected operational risk-type loss events. The 
scenario analysis allows assessment of catastrophic 
events which are also referred to as tail risks and 
rarely occur but create a high impact when they do 
occur. Scenario analysis results provide inputs to 
the operational risk management stress testing and 
top-down risk assessment studies in addition to the 
operational risk internal capital requirement.

İşbank has defined numerous risk management policies 
for various risk types.

Management of Non-financial Risks

Besides financial risks, non-financial risks such as 
climate change risk, environmental management risk, 
internal behavior/culture and ethics risks, and employee 
practice and employee relations risks are defined in 
the Bank's risk catalogue and consideredas part of risk 
management activities.

Introducing best practices in the management of climate 
change risks is a priority for İşbank. The Bank carried out 
project activities aimed at measuring and reporting the 
climate change risks to which it may be exposed and 
developing the principles and procedures of governance 
and integrating such risks into the Bank's strategy and 
loan processes. The climate change risk, positioned as a 
strategic risk in the Bank's risk catalogue, is defined and 
exemplified according to TCFD and international best 
practices to include transition risks and physical risks. 
The Climate Change Risk Policy, which was approved 
and put into force by the Board of Directors, sets out the 
principles and procedures to be followed for detecting, 
identifying, assessing and/or measuring, monitoring, 
controlling, reporting and managing the climate change 
risks that the Bank may be exposed to in connection 
with its activities.  The "Share of Sectors With High 
Climate Change Risk Within Total Commercial Portfolio" 
indicator is monitored within the framework of the Bank's 

solo risk appetite in order to prevent an increase in the 
concentration of sectors with a high exposure to climate 
change risk within the portfolio and to provide guidance 
for composition of the portfolio in subsequent periods.

The Bank utilizes a scenario approach in measuring 
climate change risks. For high-risk sectors, which are 
identified with the climate change heat map method, an 
impact analysis for climate risk events is conducted by 
taking into account the scenario analysis approach of the 
United Nations Environment Program - Finance Initiative 
(UNEP-FI), and NGFS reference scenarios.

Reputational risk refers to potential losses which may 
be caused by loss of trust in the Bank or damage to 
the Bank’s reputation as a result of non-compliance 
with existing legal regulations or negative views of 
parties such as current or potential customers, partners, 
competitors and supervisory authorities. The Bank 
uses the Reputation Index to monitor reputational risk. 
This index was created by the Bank to serve as an early 
warning for elements which might potentially impact 
the Bank's reputation. Assessments of the level of 
reputational risk are reported to senior management 
on a quarterly basis as a minimum. It is the senior 
management's responsibility to monitor and improve 
compliance with the corporate governance concept, 
which constitutes the basis of reputational risk.

Business Ethics

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

İşbank established the “Ethical Principles and 
Operational Rules” in line with the Principles of Banking 
Ethics of the Banks Association. İşbank’s Collective 
Bargaining Agreement and the Bank's legislation 
also include regulations on employees and working 
life. Additionally, İşbank's "Human Rights and Human 
Resources Policy" includes provisions that refer to ethical 
principles.

There is an ethics hotline to allow employees, customers, 
and other related parties to report any violation of 
operational rules to the related units of the Bank in 
accordance with the Ethical Principles and Operational 
Rules. In 2022, the Ethics Hotline received a total of 
4 complaints.  Reports and notifications regarding 
bribery, corruption and other similar actions submitted 
through the Ethics Hotline are monitored by the Board of 
Inspectors.

For behaviors that are found to be in violation of the 
Bank's policies, the necessary disciplinary action, up 
to termination of the employment contract, is taken 
according to the applicable provisions and procedures of 
the Collective Labor Agreement.

Customer complaints can be conveyed via e-mail, 
petition, or fax to digital channels, Branches, or directly to 
the Head Office or the Board of Inspectors. Complaints 
submitted by customers to Branches and the Head 
Office units are transferred to the Customer Relations 
Platform and followed up on the relevant platform. 
With a special application specifically designed for all 
employees, complaints can be directly submitted to the 
Head Office, which then transfers them to the Board of 
Inspectors for evaluation as necessary.

During the training, Intern Assistant Inspectors receive 
a one-hour “Ethical Principles” and “Anti-Bribery 
and Anti-Corruption” training. The topic of "Ethical 
Principles" is also covered as part of a one-hour class 
during the "Branch Managers Development Program", 
"My Management Career”, and "As I Rise in My Career" 
trainings given to managers and manager candidates.

In 2022, 1,480 hours of ethical training was given to 
2,700 employees.

The “Internal Audit” training provided by the Board of 
Inspectors as part of the Branch Managers Development 
Program covers ethical banking principles.  In addition, 

in the seminars “Sexism Behind Politeness: Culture and 
Language”, “Sustainability through the Lens of Gender 
Equality”, and “Law Against Violence: Empowerment 
Through Rights” held within the scope of Management 
Development Conferences, information on basic human 
rights from the perspective of related topics was shared.

Private security officers are informed about individual 
rights in the “Law on Private Security Services and 
Individual Rights” course, which is delivered as part 
of their refresher training. In 2022, 191 employees 
participated in Private Security Refresher trainings. In 
addition, in 2022, the Bank’s “Human Rights and Human 
Resources Policy” text was sent by the Support Services 
Division to all private security officers via e-mail for their 
information.

In the “Getting to Know Our Bank” course delivered as 
part of the “Starting My Career” trainings organized for 
new employees at İşbank, the principles set out in the 
Bank’s Human Rights and Human Resources Policy 
are addressed. During the “Getting to Know Our Bank” 
course within the scope of “Starting My Career” trainings 
provided to new employees at İşbank, the requirement 
to act according to the discipline regulations and the 
"Ethical Banking Principles" is emphasized. In the career 
training programs organized for employees promoted 
to Senior and Assistant Manager positions, the Board of 
Inspectors also provides information on this subject.

In the "Banking Law" class included in the Career as a 
Specialist training for Senior Assistant Specialists and 
the career training programs for employees promoted to 
Supervisorand Assistant Manager roles, information is 
provided on the ethical principles that bank employees 
are obliged to comply with. 

The “Ethical Principles and Operational Rules” digital 
training was made available to employees. The training 
included detailed information on the Bank’s ethical 
principles and operational rules, our quality, compliance 
and risk policies, the principles on Combating Financial 
Crimes and implementation of Sanctions, Compliance 
with Competition Law and ensuring Information Security, 
and information on the “Ethics Hotline” where employees 
can report any violations or suspected violations of 
ethical principles.

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption is an uncompromised 
priority of İşbank’s banking approach.

Bribery and corruption risk is defined as the risk that the 
Bank will incur losses due to an employee of the Bank 
abusing the power vested in them as part of their role at 
the Bank in order to, directly or indirectly, secure benefits 
for themselves or third parties and failing to comply 
with the anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and 
internal regulations. Measuring and prioritizing bribery 
and corruption risk is done through a top-down risk 
assessment, impact-probability analysis, loss event data 
analysis and scenario analysis activities.

During routine audits conducted by the Board of 
Inspectors according to Internal Audit Standards, all 
risks, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption, are 
addressed on a periodic basis, and the audit results 
are reported to authorized divisions of the Bank in 
accordance with the provisions of applicable legislation, 
and the outcomes of the reported findings are monitored. 
Besides existing risks, factors that present potential risks 
are also identified, appropriate solutions are proposed, 
and the entire process is monitored. If any violation of 
anti-corruption policies is detected during the audits, 
appropriate action is taken according to the internal 
discipline regulations and legal regulations.

All findings, reports and customer complaints related 
to corruption practices are meticulously handled and 
thoroughly investigated. At the end of audits, the reports 
prepared to allow necessary administrative decisions 
to be made in accordance with the Bank's collective 
labor agreement and the legislation are transferred to 
the related Head Office Divisions for action. In 2022, the 
scale of activities evaluated in relation to corruption risks 
was found to be at a negligible level compared to the 
total assets of the Bank.

İşbank’s guiding policies on anti-corruption are the 
“Ethical Principles and Operational Rules” and the 
“Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy”. İşbank’s 
"Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy”, which is 
the reference document for combating bribery and 
corruption at the Bank, was publicly disclosed on 
the corporate website. The Anti-Bribery and Anti-
Corruption Policy is implemented by the relevant Head 
Office Division under the supervision of the Corporate 
Governance Committee. Compliance with the provisions 
of this policy is audited within the scope of internal audit. 
The principles regarding fulfillment of the action plans to 
resolve audit findings are determined by the Corporate 
Governance Committee.

For behaviors that are found to be in violation of the 
Bank's policies, the necessary disciplinary action, up 
to termination of the employment contract, is taken 
according to the Human Resources Regulation and 
applicable provisions and procedures of the Collective 
Labor Agreement. Where circumstances warrant legal 
action, the violation is brought to the attention of legal 
authorities.

The content of the e-training "Policy for Combating 
Financial Crimes and Sanctions Compliance Program”, 
which is assigned to all employees as a legal compliance 
training, is determined by the Corporate Governance 
Division and updated regularly and covers information 
about the topic of "Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption”. 
Regular communication is carried out to ensure 
completion of this training by the employees.

During the "Getting to Know Our Bank" course within the 
scope of "Starting My Career" trainings provided to new 
employees at İşbank, the requirement to act according 
to the discipline regulations and the "Ethical Banking 
Principles" is emphasized. This topic is also covered 
during the "Policy for Combating Financial Crimes and 
Sanctions and Compliance Program" class for our 
Officers and Assistant Specialists which is included in 
the same training program.

With the "Banking Law" class included in the Career as 
a Specialist training for Senior Assistant Specialists and 
the career training programs for employees promoted 
to Supervisorand Assistant Manager roles, information 
is provided about the legal regulations concerning 
corruption and other similar crimes.

The sensitivities specified in the Anti-Bribery and 
Anti-Corruption Policy on the home page of İşbank’s 
purchasing platform are also observed in supplier 
selection. In the reporting period, no supplier was found 
to be involved in bribery and corruption incidents.

Dividend Distribution Policy

The principles regarding the Bank’s dividend distribution 
are regulated in Article 58 of the Articles of Incorporation. 
According to this:

“After deducting all general expenses from the income 
arising from the operations of the Bank within a year, 
including premiums, bonuses and similar payments 
to the personnel of the Bank, and funds for all kinds of 
depreciations, as well as necessary provisions, the net 
profit obtained shall partly be set aside as reserve fund 
and partly distributed in the order, manner, and at the 
rates indicated below.

a)     1- 5% to legal reserve fund,

         2- 5% as provision for probable future losses,

         3- 10% as first extraordinary reserve fund.

If the cause for the setting aside of a provision and fund 
for a probable future loss and/or risk no longer exists, the 
remainder of these accounts added to the net profit after 
the allocation made in subparagraph (a) shall be added 
to the first contingency reserve fund in section (a/3).

b) An amount equal to 6% of the paid-in capital 

represented by Group A, B, and C shares shall be 
distributed to shareholders as the "first dividend" from 
the amount remaining after the reserves mentioned in 
paragraph (a) above are set aside from the net profit. 
Should the profit realized in any year be insufficient to 
provide for the first dividend of 6% referred to above, 
the balance shall be allocated and distributed from 
the extraordinary reserve fund. However, the amount 
allocated from the reserve fund in this way shall 
constitute a debt that must be allocated from the net 
profit of subsequent years.

c) After the reserved fund referred to in paragraph (a) 
and the first dividend referred to in paragraph (b) 
above, the balance shall be distributed as follows:

10% to the founder shares (limited to the portion of TL 
250 thousand –two hundred and fifty thousand– of 
paid-in capital)

20% to the employees of the Bank, and

10% shall be set aside as the second extraordinary 
reserve fund.

d) After the amounts set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) 
and (c) have been set aside and distributed, the 
balance remaining by considering paragraph (e) 
shall be distributed to the shareholders as a “second 
dividend” in the manner stated below.

1- The net total of the dividends to be distributed to 

the holders of Group A shares as first and second 
dividends under paragraphs (b) and (d) may not 
exceed 60% of the capital paid up by them, the net 
total of the dividends to be distributed to holders of 
Group B shares may not exceed 30% of the capital 
paid up by them, and the net total of the dividends to 
be distributed to holders of Group C shares may not 
exceed 25% of the capital paid up by them.

2- After the amounts set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) 

and (c) have been set aside and distributed, should 
the balance be insufficient to distribute the second 
dividend in the manner specified by the paragraph 
(1) above, total dividends to be paid to the three 
Groups of shares shall be calculated separately in the 
distribution of the second dividend by considering 
twice the amount of the paid-in capital represented 
by Group A shares, the full amount of the paid-in 
capital represented by Group B shares, and 5/6 (five-
sixths) of the amount of paid-in capital represented 
by Group C shares.

e) The amount that needs to be added to the statutory 
reserve under paragraph 2/c of Article 519 of the 
Turkish Commercial Code shall be set aside.

f) The General Assembly shall, upon proposal of the 
Board of Directors, decide whether the balance 
remaining after the distribution and allocation of the 
net profit as specified above shall be transferred 
to the extraordinary reserve funds, carried over to 
the following year, or up to 80% of such balance be 
distributed in net to the shareholders by dividing the 
same by the number of shares and the remaining 
balance be transferred to the extraordinary reserve 
funds or carried over to the following year. In the 
calculation of the dividends to be paid to all three 
Groups of shares; Group A shares will be considered 
as 40 times the share quantity, Group B shares will 
be considered as 1.5 times of the share quantity, 
and Group C shares will be considered as the same 
quantity due to the reason that 20 shares each with 
a nominal value of TL 500 (this amount is related 
to the period prior to the Law No. 5083 regarding 
the Monetary Unit of the Turkish Republic on which 
the rate of change has not been applied) have been 
changed with shares with a nominal value of 1 Kurus."

The dividends are distributed within the scope of the 
related legislation in a manner and at a time determined 
by the General Assembly.

İşbank 2022 Integrated Annual Report  181

Summary Report of the Board of Directors

Esteemed Shareholders, 

Welcome to our Bank’s 99th Ordinary General Assembly Meeting. 

As we present the Board of Directors' Report, the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement covering the results of our activities in fiscal 
year 2022 for your review and approval, we respectfully greet all of you here today.

In 2022, the risks and uncertainties caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as the commercial and financial sanctions imposed on 
Russia, have been the main risk factors for the world economy, especially for European countries. While disruptions in supply chains for 
basic needs such as energy and food due to the war increased global inflationary pressures, the rapid tightening of monetary policies 
across the world caused economic activity to lose momentum. 

Ordinary General Assembly Meeting:

As per the resolution of the Board of Directors of İşbank, the Ordinary General Assembly Meeting of the Bank will be 
held on Thursday, 30 March 2023, at 14:00 at the İş Towers Head Office Auditorium, 34330 Levent/İstanbul.

In 2022, the Turkish economy grew by 5.6% on the back of high consumption expenditures and moderate contributions from exports 
and investments. On the other hand, the rise in global commodity prices, particularly energy, caused the current account deficit to widen 
and inflationary pressures to increase despite the rapid recovery in tourism revenues. 

Agenda of the Ordinary General Assembly 

1.  Opening Ceremony, establishment of the Council of Chairmanship

While the banking sector continued to support economic activity in 2022, it maintained its strong outlook. The volume of Turkish Lira 
loans, including loans to the financial sector, increased by 77.5% on an annual basis, reaching TL 4,749.6 billion as of December 30, 
2022. In the same period, the volume of FX loans fell to USD 125.9 billion with a decrease of 15.7%. Accordingly, the total loan volume 
expanded at a rate of 52.8% as of December 30, 2022 and reached TL 7,100 billion. According to the exchange rate adjusted data, the 
total loan volume expanded by 38% in this period.  

As of December 30, 2022, according to the Weekly Bulletin data published by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, the 
volume of TL deposits including deposits of banks increased by 145.7% and reached TL 4,468 billion compared to the same period in 
2021 with the support of the FX-protected deposit accounts. The volume of FX deposits in USD terms decreased by 12.5% in this period 
and was realized as USD 208.4 billion. Thus, as of December 30, 2022, the total deposit volume increased by 68.4% compared to the 
same period of the previous year and reached TL 8,360 billion. According to the exchange rate adjusted data, the annual increase in total 
deposit volume was 45.4%.

As of 31.12.2022, compared to the end of the previous year,

 ੵ The amount of our loans reached TL 759.3 billion with a 53.9% increase,

 ੵ The amount of our deposits reached TL 931.1 billion with a 56.3% increase,

 ੵ Our total assets reached TL 1,408.3 billion with a 52.0% increase,

 ੵ Our equity reached TL 191.4 billion with a 120.4% increase

.Thanks to its stable growth policy and effective risk management practices in loan allocation processes, our Bank achieved an NPL 
ratio of 3.0% at the end of 2022. At the same time, İşbank maintained its leadership among private banks in terms of the total amount 
of deposits in 2022 and continued to make use of non-deposit funding sources in domestic and foreign markets in order to diversify 
funding sources and extend the maturity structure of its liabilities by taking funding costs into consideration.

The Bank preserved its strong capital structure throughout the year, with a capital adequacy ratio of 24.4%, well above the regulatory 
limit, as of year-end 2022. The Bank achieved a net profit of TL 61.5 billion in 2022 with a return on average equity and return on average 
assets of 46.8% and 5.3%, respectively.

Our Esteemed Shareholders,

We hereby submit our Annual Report, Balance Sheet and Income Statement pertaining to our activities during 2022 for your review and 
approval. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our stakeholders for their steadfast trust in our Bank, to the 
institutions of the Republic of Türkiye for their support, and to our employees for their dedicated efforts. We extend our respects to you, 
our valued shareholders, for having honored this General Meeting with your attendance.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the General Assembly  of Türkiye İş Bankası Anonim Şirketi:

Audit of Unconsolidated Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements of Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş (the Bank), which comprise the 
statement of balance sheet as at December 31, 2022, and the unconsolidated statement of income, unconsolidated statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unconsolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, unconsolidated 
statement of cash flows and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the unconsolidated financial 
statements.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter on the unconsolidated financial statements described in the Basis of for Qualified 
Opinion paragraph, the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the unconsolidated 
financial position of Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. as at December 31, 2022 and unconsolidated financial performance and unconsolidated 
its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (“BRSA”) Accounting and 
Financial Reporting Legislation which includes “Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents” 
published in the Official Gazette no.26333 dated 1 November 2006, and other regulations on accounting records of Banks published 
by Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and circulars and interpretations published by BRSA and Turkish Financial Reporting 
Standards (“TFRS”) for those matters not regulated by the aforementioned regulations.

Basis of Qualified Opinion

As explained in Section Five Part II-i.4.5 and IV.f, the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022 
include a free provision at an amount of TL 8,475,000 thousands of which TL 4,075,000 thousands was provided in prior years 
and TL 4,400,000 thousands provided in the current period by the Bank management for the possible effects of the negative 
circumstances which may arise from the possible changes in the economy and market conditions which does not meet the 
recognition criteria of “Turkish Accounting Standard” (TAS) 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”.

Our audit was conducted in accordance with “Regulation on independent audit of the Banks” published in the Official Gazette 
no.29314 dated April 2, 2015 by BRSA (BRSA Independent Audit Regulation) and Independent Auditing Standards (“ISA”) which 
are the part of Turkish Auditing Standards issued by the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (“POA”). Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 
section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with of Code of Ethics for Independent Auditors (Code of 
Ethics) published by POA and have fulfilled our other responsibilities in accordance with the code of ethics. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the unconsolidated 
financial statements of the current period. Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the unconsolidated financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to 
the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit 
matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

How the Key Audit Matter is addressed in our audit

Pension Fund Obligations

Financial impact of TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard 
and impairment on financial assets and related important 
disclosures

As presented in Section III disclosure VIII, the Bank 
recognizes expected credit losses of financial assets in 
accordance with TFRS 9 Financial Instruments standard. 
We considered impairment of financial assets as a key audit 
matter since: 
 ੵ Amount of on and off-balance sheet items that are subject to 
expected credit loss calculation is material to the financial 
statements.

 ੵ There are complex and comprehensive requirements of 

TFRS 9.

 ੵ The classification of the financial assets is based on 
the Bank’s business model and characteristics of the 
contractual cash flows in accordance with TFRS 9 and 
the Bank uses significant judgment on the assessment 
of the business model and identification of the complex 
contractual cash flow characteristics of financial 
instruments. 

 ੵ Policies implemented by the Bank management include 
compliance risk to the regulations and other practices.

 ੵ Processes of TFRS 9 are advanced and complex.
 ੵ Judgements and estimates used in expected credit loss, 

complex and comprehensive.

 ੵ Disclosure requirements of TFRS 9 are comprehensive and 

complex.

Our audit procedures included among others include:
 ੵ Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies as to 
the requirements of TFRS 9, Bank’s past experience, local 
and global practices.

 ੵ Reviewing and testing of processes which are used 
to calculate expected credit losses by involving our 
Information technology and process audit specialists.
 ੵ Evaluation of the reasonableness and appropriateness of 
key judgments and estimates determined by management 
and the methods, judgments, and data sources used in 
calculating expected loss, taking into account the standard 
requirements, industry and global practices.

 ੵ Reviewing the appropriateness of criteria in order to identify 
the financial assets having solely payments of principal 
and interest and checking the compliance to the Bank’s 
Business model.

 ੵ Evaluating the alignment of the significant increase in 

credit risk determined during the calculation of expected 
credit losses, default definition, restructuring definition, 
probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default 
and macro-economic variables that are determined by the 
financial risk management experts with the Bank’s past 
performance, regulations, and other processes that has 
forward looking estimations.

 ੵ Assessing the completeness and the accuracy of the data 

used for expected credit loss calculation.

 ੵ Testing the mathematical accuracy of expected credit loss 

calculation on sample basis.

 ੵ Evaluating the judgments and estimates used for the 

individually assessed financial assets.

 ੵ Evaluating the necessity and accuracy of the updates 
made or required updates after the modeling process

 ੵ Auditing of TFRS 9 disclosures.

It has been addressed whether there have been any 
significant changes in regulations governing pension 
liabilities, employee benefits plan during the period, that 
could lead to adjust the valuation of employee benefits.

Support from actuarial auditor of our firm, has been taken 
to assess the appropriateness of the actuarial assumptions 
and calculations performed by the external actuary. We 
further focused on the accuracy and adequacy of the Bank’s 
provision provided for the deficit and also disclosures on key 
assumptions related to pension fund deficit.

Employees of the Bank are members of “Türkiye İş Bankası 
A.Ş. Mensupları Emekli Sandığı Vakfı”, (“the Fund”), which is 
established in accordance with the temporary Article 20 of 
the Social Security Act No. 506 and related regulations. The 
Fund is a separate legal entity and foundation recognized 
by an official decree, providing all qualified employees 
with pension and post-retirement benefits. As disclosed in 
the “Section Three Note XVII” to the financial statements, 
Banks will transfer their pension fund to the Social Security 
Institution and the authority of the “Council of Ministers” on 
the determination of the mentioned transfer date is changed 
as “President” in the Decree Law No. 703 published in the 
Official Gazette numbered 30473 and dated July 9, 2018. 
According to the technical balance sheet report as of 31 
December 2022 prepared considering the related articles 
of the Law regarding the transferrable benefit obligations for 
the non- transferrable social benefits and payments which 
are included in the articles of association, the Fund has an 
actuarial and technical deficit which is fully provisioned for. 

The valuation of the Pension Fund liabilities requires 
judgment in determining appropriate assumptions such as 
defining the transferrable social benefits, discount rates, 
salary increases, demographic assumptions, inflation rate 
estimates and the impact of any changes in individual 
pension plans. The Bank Management uses Fund actuaries 
to assist in assessing these assumptions.

Considering the subjectivity of key assumptions and 
estimate used in the calculations of transferrable liabilities   
and the effects of the potential changes in the estimates 
used together with the uncertainty around the transfer date 
and given the fact that technical interest rate is prescribed 
under the law, we considered this to be a key audit matter.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange 
contracts, currency and interest rate swaps, currency and 
interest rate options, futures and other derivative financial 
instruments which are held for trading are initially recognized 
on the statement of financial position at fair value and 
subsequently are re-measured at their fair value. Details of 
related amounts are explained in “Section Five Note I.c.” and 
“Section Five Note II.b”.

Our audit procedures included among others involve 
reviewing policies regarding fair value measurement 
accepted by the bank management fair value calculations of 
the selected derivative financial instruments which is carried 
out by valuation experts of our firm and the assessment 
of used estimations and the judgements and testing the 
assessment of operating effectiveness of the key controls in 
the process of fair value determination.

Fair value of the derivative financial instruments is 
determined by selecting most convenient market data and 
applying valuation techniques to those particular derivative 
products. Derivative Financial Instruments are considered 
by us as a key audit matter because of the subjectivity in the 
estimates, assumptions and judgments used.

Independent Auditor’s Report

TÜRKİYE İŞ BANKASI A.Ş

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Unconsolidated Financial Statements

Bank management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements in accordance with the BRSA 
Accounting and Reporting Legislation and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the unconsolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to 
liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Unconsolidated Financial Statements

In an independent audit, the responsibilities of us as independent auditors are:

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee 
that an audit conducted in accordance with BRSA Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.  

As part of an audit in accordance with BRSA Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional 
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 ੵ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform 
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. (The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.)

 ੵ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not 

for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control.

 ੵ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
 ੵ Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether 
a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the unconsolidated 
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the 
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the unconsolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial 
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit 
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with government with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, 
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 
related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 
unconsolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report 
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be 
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of 
such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1.  In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the Turkish Commercial Code (“TCC”) no 6102; no significant matter has come to our attention 

that causes us to believe that the Bank’s bookkeeping activities and financial statements for the period January 1 – December 31, 2022, are not in 
compliance with the TCC and provisions of the Bank’s articles of association in relation to financial reporting.

2.  In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the TCC; the Board of Directors submitted to us the necessary explanations and provided required 

documents within the context of audit.

The engagement partner who supervised and concluded this independent auditor’s report is Fatma Ebru Yücel.

Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

SECTION THREE: EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES

I. 

Basis of Presentation:

The unconsolidated financial statements, related notes, and explanations in this report are prepared in accordance with the “Regulation on Accounting 
Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents” and other regulations on accounting records of Banks published by Banking Regulation 
and Supervision Agency and circulars and interpretations published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Authority, (together referred as “BRSA 
Accounting and Financial Reporting Legislation”) and requirements of Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) published the Public Oversight 
Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority for the matters not regulated by the aforementioned legislations.

COVID-19 outbreak, which started in China and spread globally in the first half of 2020, caused serious effects on both economic and social life. In 
addition to the social life effects of the cautions taken to ensure the control of outbreak in many countries, there are also consequences observed which 
is negatively affecting economic activity both on regional and global scale. As in other countries where the pandemic is effective, various cautions also 
have been taken in our country in social and economic terms. The Bank sustains its activities for the period precisely by closely monitoring the processes 
related to outbreak, postponing retail and non-retail customers' due debts, restructuring with grace period and existing or additional limit allocations 
in respect with customers’ needs.  Assessments regarding to possible effects of the COVID-19 outbreak through the measurement of expected credit 
losses are explained in the Section Three “VIII. “Explanations on Impairment of Financial Assets”.

“Interest Rate Benchmark Reform- Stage 2”, brought changes in various TAS / TFRSs effective from January 1, 2021, was released in December 2020 
within the scope of the project of transition of the benchmark interest rates carried out by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). It was 
concluded that as of December 31, 2022, the changes have not occurred significantly on the Bank's financial statements.

TAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies requires entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to prepare 
their financial statements in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. TAS 29 describes characteristics that may indicate 
that an economy is hyperinflationary, and it requires all entities that report in the currency of the same hyperinflationary economy apply this Standard 
from the same date. Therefore, it is expected that TAS 29 will start to be applied simultaneously by all entities with the announcement of Public Oversight 
Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority to ensure consistency of the application required by TAS 29 throughout the country. However, the 
Authority has not published any announcement that determines entities would restate their financial statements for the accounting period ending on 
31 December 2022 in accordance with TAS 29. In this context, TAS 29 is not applied and inflation adjustment has not been reflected in the financial 
statements as of December 31, 2022.

The tension between Russia and Ukraine since January 2022 has turned into a crisis and an armed conflict as of the date of the report. The Bank does 
not carry out any activities in these two countries that are subject to the crisis. Considering the geographies in which the Bank operates, the crisis did 
not have a direct impact on the Bank's operations as of 31 December 2022. However, since the course of the crisis is still uncertain as of the date of this 
report, developments that may occur on a global scale, and the effects of these developments on the global and regional economy and on the Bank's 
operations, are closely monitored. Since the Bank's risks to both countries are at a very low level, these developments are not expected to have an 
significant impact on the Bank's operations.

The accounting policies applied in the current period are in line with the prior period financial statements. The accounting policies and valuation 
principles used in the preparation of financial statements are presented below in detail.

II. 

Strategy for Use of Financial Instruments and Foreign Currency Transactions  

1.  The Bank’s Strategy on Financial Instruments 

The Bank’s main activities comprise private, retail, commercial and corporate banking, money market and securities market operations, as well as 
activities related to international banking services.

In conformity with the general liability structure of the banking system, the Bank’s liabilities are mainly composed of short-term deposits and other 
medium and long-term liabilities. The liquidity risk that may arise from this liability structure can be easily controlled through deposit continuity, as well as 
widespread network of the correspondent banks, market maker status (The Bank is one of the market makers banks) and by the use of liquidity facilities 
of the Central Bank of Republic of Turkey (“CBRT”). As a result, the liquidity of the Bank and the banking system can be easily monitored. On the other 
hand, foreign currency liquidity requirements are met by the money market operations and currency swaps. 

Most of the funds collected bear fixed interest, and by closely monitoring the developments in the sector, both fixed and floating rate placements are 
made based on the yields of alternative investment instruments.

Safety principle has always been the top priority in placements and the placements are focused on high yielding and low risk assets by considering 
their maturity structure. Accordingly, a pricing policy aiming at high return is implemented in the long-term placements and attention is paid to the 
maximum use of non-interest income generation opportunities. The Bank determines its lending strategy by taking into consideration the international 
and national economic data and expectations, market conditions, current and potential credit customers’ expectations and tendencies, and risks such as; 
interest rate, liquidity, currency and credit risks. Furthermore, in conformity with this strategy, the Bank acts within the legal limits in terms of asset-liability 
management.

The primary objectives related to balance sheet components are set by the long-term plans shaped along with budgeting; and the Bank takes the 
required positions against the short-term currency, interest rates and price fluctuations in accordance with these plans and the course of the market 
conditions.

Foreign currency, interest rate and price fluctuations in the markets are monitored instantaneously. While taking positions, in addition to the legal limits, the 
Bank’s own transaction and control limits are also effectively monitored in order to avoid limit overrides. 

The Bank’s asset-liability management is executed by the Asset-Liability Management Committee, within the risk limits determined by the Board of 
Directors, in order to keep the liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit risk within certain limits depending on the equity adequacy and to 
maximize profitability.

2.  Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are converted into Turkish Lira by using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance 
sheet date. Non-monetary items in foreign currencies carried at fair value are converted into Turkish Lira by the rates at the date of which the fair value is 
determined. Exchange rate differences arising from the conversions of monetary foreign currency items and the collections of and payments in foreign 
currency transactions are reflected to the income statement. 

The Bank started to apply equity method for the foreign associates and subsidiaries which were followed with historical rates in accordance with the TAS 
27 “Separate Financial Statements” In this context, foreign subsidiaries are accounted at current rates in the financial statement and the resulting exchange 
differences are accounted under equity.

The financial statements of the foreign branches of the Bank are prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates 
(functional currency). The financial statements of foreign branches are expressed in TL which is the functional currency of the Bank and the presentation 
currency of the financial statements. Assets and liabilities of the foreign branches of the Bank are converted into TL by using the prevailing exchange rates 
at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are converted by at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The exchange rate differences arising 
from the conversion are recorded in the shareholders’ equity.

III. 

Associates and Subsidiaries

The Bank accounts, its associates, and subsidiaries in accordance with equity method which described in TAS 28.

Under the equity method, Bank’s share of net assets of the associates and subsidiaries is recognized in the Bank’s financial statements. The profit or loss of 
the Bank includes the Bank’s share of the profit or loss of the associates and subsidiaries and Bank’s other comprehensive income or expenses include the 
Bank’s share of other comprehensive income or expenses of the associates and subsidiaries. Mergers / acquisitions and change in share ratios of related  
associates and subsidiaries during the period are shown under the item "Increase / Decrease through Other Changes" in the statement of changes in 
shareholders’ equity.

IV. 

Forward, Option Contracts and Derivatives Instruments 

Derivative transactions of the Bank consist of foreign currency and interest rate swaps, forwards, foreign currency options and interest rate options. The 
Bank has no derivative instruments decomposed from the main contract.

The Bank classifies derivative transactions, which act as a hedge but does not meet qualification criteria for hedge accounting, as "Derivative Financial 
Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" in accordance with the “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments” requirements.

Derivative transactions are recorded at their fair value at the date of contract, receivables and payables arising from these transactions are recorded in 
off-balance sheet accounts. Derivative transactions are measured at fair value at subsequent reporting dates and if the valuation difference is positive, they 
are classified as "Derivative Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss", if it is negative they are classified as "Derivative Financial Liabilities at Fair 
Value through Profit or Loss". The differences arising from the valuation of derivative transactions are associated with the income statement.

On off-balance sheet items table, options which generated assets for the Bank are presented under “call options” line and which generated liabilities are 
presented under “put options” line.

V. 

Interest Income and Expenses

Interest income is calculated by using the effective interest rate method (the rate that equal the future cash flows of a financial asset or liability to its present 
net book value) to gross carrying amount of financial asset in conformity with “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments” except financial asset that is not a purchased 
or originated credit-impaired financial asset but subsequently has become credit-impaired.

Under the scope of TFRS 9 application, the Bank does not reverse the interest accruals and rediscounts of non-performing loans and other receivables and 
monitors the related amounts under interest income and calculates expected credit loss on these amounts according to the related methodology.

VI. 

Fees and Commission Income and Expenses

Wages and commissions those that are not an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost are 
accounted for in accordance with "TFRS 15 - Revenue from Customer Contracts". Fees and commission income and expenses are recognized either on 
accrual basis or by using the effective interest method. Income earned in return for services rendered contractually or due to operations like sale or purchase 
of assets on behalf of a third-party real person or corporate body are recognized in income accounts in the period of collection.

VII. 

Financial Assets

The Bank within the scope of “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments”, classifies and accounts its financial assets as “Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or 
Loss”, “Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets at Measured at Amortized Cost” by taking into account 
their business model and contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are recognized or derecognized according to TFRS 9 “Recognition and 
Derecognition in Statement of Financial Position” requirements. The Bank recognizes a financial asset in its statement of financial position when it becomes 
a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are measured at their fair value on initial recognition in the financial 
statements.

Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

The Bank has three different business models for classification of financial assets:

 ੵ Business model aimed at holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows: Financial assets held under the mentioned business model 
are managed to collect contractual cash flows over the life of these assets. The Bank manages its assets held under this portfolio in order to collect 
certain contractual cash flows

 ੵ Business model aimed at collecting contracted cash flows of financial assets and selling: In this business model, the Bank intends both to collect 

contractual cash flows of financial assets and to sell these assets.

 ੵ Other business models: A business model in which financial assets; are not held within the scope of a business model aimed at collection of 

contractual cash flows and within the scope of a business model aimed at collecting and selling contracted cash flows, are measured by reflecting fair 
value in profit or loss.

The Bank is able to reclassify all affected financial assets in case it changes the business model that is used for the management of financial asset.

In the event of the termination of the rights related to the cash flows from a financial asset, the transfer of all risks and rewards of the financial asset to a 
significant extent or has no longer control of the financial assets, the Bank derecognizes the financial asset.

1.  Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial assets except financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value 
through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for the purpose of generating profit from short-term 
fluctuations in price or similar factors in the market or being part of a portfolio for profitability in the short term, regardless of the acquisition reason or 
financial assets that are not held in a business model that aims at collecting and/or selling contractual cash flows of financial assets.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value on the balance sheet and are subsequently re-measured at fair 
value. Gains or losses arising from the valuation are related to profit and loss accounts.

In some cases, restructuring, alteration or counterparty changes of contractual cash flows of loans may lead to derecognition of related loans in 
accordance with TFRS 9. When the change in the financial asset results from derecognizing the existing financial asset from the financial statements 
and the revised financial asset is recognized in the financial statements, the revised financial asset is considered as a new financial asset in accordance 
with TFRS 9. When it is determined that there are significant changes between the new conditions of the revised financial asset and the first conditions 
in related agreements, the Bank evaluates the new financial asset according to the current business models. When it is determined that the contractual 
conditions do not only result in cash flows that include principal and interest payments at certain dates, the financial asset is recognized at fair value and 
is subject to valuation. The differences arising from the valuation are reflected in the nominal accounts.

The Bank recognizes loans at fair value through profit or loss, if the contractual terms of the loan, do not result in cash flow including the principal 
payments and interest payments generated from principal amounts at certain dates. These loans are valued at their fair values after their recognition and 
the losses or gains arising from the valuation are included in the profit and loss accounts. 

2.  Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets that are held under a business model that aims both to collect 
contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets, and financial assets with contractual terms that lead to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principle amount outstanding at specific dates.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognized at their fair value including their transaction costs on the 
financial statements. The initial recognition and subsequent valuation of such financial assets, including the transaction costs, are carried out on a fair 
value basis and the difference between amortized cost and the cost of borrowing instruments is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest 
method. Dividend income arising from investments in equity instruments that are classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income is also 
recognized in income statements.

Gains and losses, except impairment gain or loss and foreign exchange gain or loss, arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value 
through other comprehensive income are reflected to other comprehensive income until derecognized or reclassified. When the value of the financial 
asset is collected or financial asset is disposed, the related fair value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the profit or 
loss statement.

During the initial introduction to financial statements, amendments to the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument within the framework of 
TFRS 9 that are not held for trading or that are not valued in a financial statement of an entity that acquires business combinations under the “TFRS 3 
Business Combinations” may be subject to an irreversible preference regarding these amendments being accounted in other comprehensive income. In 
such case dividends taken from mentioned investment will be accounted in financial statement as profit or loss.

3.  Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are those financial assets that are held within the framework of a business model aimed at collecting 
contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and which result in cash flows that include principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding at 
specific dates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost with the initial recognition at fair value including transaction costs are subject to valuation 
with their discounted cost value by using the effective interest rate method, after eliminating any provision for impairment if there is any. Interest income 
measured by using the effective interest rate method are recognized in the income statement as an “interest income”.  

The Bank evaluates its loans within the framework of current business models and can be classified as Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost.

The Bank also holds consumer price indexed government bonds (“CPI”) in its securities portfolio, reclassified as financial assets measured at fair value 
through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortised cost. In 
the valuation of the mentioned securities, the estimated inflation curve created by using the CPI index announced by Turkish Statistical Institute (“TÜİK”) 
and the “Annual CPI Expectation After 12 Months” from the CBRT Market Participants Survey is used. Future cash flows of securities are estimated by 
using the mentioned inflation data and valuation is made according to the effective interest method within the framework of the reference inflaiton index 
formula specified in the Undersecretariat of Treasury’s Investor Guide of CPI.

VIII. 

Impairment of Financial Assets

In accordance with the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” and the regulation and related decision “Procedures and Principals regarding Classification of 
Loans and Allowances Allocated for Such Loans” issued by BRSA, the Bank recognizes expected credit loss allowance on financial assets at fair value 
through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at amortized cost, impaired credit commitments and financial guarantee contracts.

Within the scope of TFRS 9, the expected credit loss is calculated according to the “three-stage” impairment model based on the change in the loan 
quality of financial assets after initial recognition and detailed in the following headings:

Stage 1:

An important determinant for calculating the expected credit loss in accordance with TFRS 9 is to assess whether there is a significant increase in the 
credit risk of the financial asset. Financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition are monitored 
in the stage one. Impairment for credit risk for the Stage 1 financial assets is equal to the 12-month expected credit losses. 

Stage 2:

Financial assets that experienced a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition, are transferred to Stage 2. The expected credit loss of 
these financial assets are measured at an amount equal to the instrument’s lifetime expected credit loss. In order to classify a financial asset in the stage 
2, the following criteria is considered:

 ੵ Overdue between 30-90 days
 ੵ Restructuring of the loan
 ੵ Significant deterioration in the probability of default

In case of a significant deterioration in the probability of default, the credit risk is considered to be increased significantly and the financial asset is 
classified as stage 2. The absolute and gradual thresholds used to increase the probability of default are differentiated on the basis of portfolio and 
product group. In this manner, for the commercial portfolio, definition of increase in the probability of default is the comparison between the probability 
of default on loan’s opening date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on internal rating and probability of default of the same loan on 
reporting date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on internal rating. For the individual portfolio, it is accepted that the probability of default 
is worsened in cases where the behavioral score falls below the thresholds determined on the basis of the product and the probability of default exceeds 
the thresholds determined on the basis of the product. 

Stage 3: 

Financial assets with sufficient and fair information for impairment at the reporting date, are classified in the third stage. Expected credit loss of these 
financial assets is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss. The following basic factors are considered for the classification of a 
financial asset in the third stage:

 ੵ More than 90 days past due
 ੵ Whether the credit rating is weakened, has suffered a significant weakness or cannot be collected or there is a certain opinion on this matter

While estimating the expected credit loss, statistical models, methods and tools are used in accordance with the relevant legislation and accounting 
standards. Expected credit loss is measured using reasonable and supportable information by taking current and forecasts of future economic 
information into consideration, including macroeconomic factors. Three scenarios, base scenario, optimistic scenario and the worst scenario, are 
used in forecasting studies made by macroeconomic models. The variables used in these macroeconomic estimates Industrial Production Index, 
Employment Ratio and Credit Default Swap indicators. The validity of the risk parameter estimates used in the calculation of expected credit losses 
is reviewed and evaluated at least annually within the framework of model validation processes. Macroeconomic forecasts and risk delinquency 
data used in risk parameter models are re-evaluated every quarter to reflect the changes in economic conjuncture and are updated if needed. In this 
framework, necessary updates were made in 2022. Except for demand or revolving loans, the maximum period for which expected credit losses are 
to be determined is the contractual life of the financial asset. For demand or revolving loans, maturity is determined by taking the future risk mitigation 
processes into account such as behavioral maturity analyses performed by the Bank and cancellation/revision of the Bank’s credit limit.

While calculating the expected credit loss, aside from assessment of whether there is a significant increase in credit risk or not, basic parameters 
expressed as probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default are used.

Probability of Default: Represents the probability of default on the loan over a specified time period. In this context, the Bank has developed models 
to calculate 12-month and life-time default probabilities by using internal rating based credit rating models. As for the Group Companies historical 
probability of default data has also been observed.

Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Loss Given Default (LGD): Defined as the damage caused by the default of borrower to the total balance of the exposure at the time of default. The 
LGD estimates are determined in terms of credit risk groups that are detailed in the Bank’s data resources and system facilities. The model used for the 
estimation of the LGD was established by taking into account the direct cost items during the collection process, based on the historical data of the 
Bank’s collection, cash flows are discounted at effective interest rates.

Exposure at Default: For cash loans, the cash balance at the date of report, for non-cash loans the balance calculated using the Credit Conversion 
Factor (CCF) is represented by Exposure at Default.

Credit Conversion Factor: Calculated for non-cash loans (undrawn limit for revolving loans, commitments, non-cash loans etc.) The historical limit 
usage data of the Bank for revolving loans are analyzed and the limit amount that can be used until the moment of default is estimated. For non-cash 
loans, the cash conversion ratio of the loan amount is estimated by analyzing the product type and the past compensation amount of the bank.

Credit risks, which require qualitative assessments due to their characteristics and differ by grouping in this manner, are considered as individual within 
the internal policies. Calculations are made by the method of discounted cash flows with the effective interest rate expected from the relevant financial 
instrument. Discounted cash flows are estimated for 3 different scenarios in which parameters are differentiated, and individual expected credit loss is 
calculated by taking into consideration the cash deficit amounts weighted according to probabilities.

As mentioned above, the Bank allocated expected credit losses by reflecting additional provisions through individual assessments performed for the 
customers that operates in sectors where the impact might be high in accordance with the Bank’s risk policies.

Expected credit loss is reflected in the income statement. Released provisions in the current year are accounted under “Expected Credit Loss Expenses” 
and released provision which is carried from the prior year are accounted under “Other Operating Income”.

Receivables evidenced through the Legal Process that collection is not possible can be written-off by fulfilling the requirements of the Tax Procedure 
Law. Besides, the loans for which specific provision is allocated and for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery might be written-off.

IX. 

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset, and the net amount shall be presented in the balance sheet only when a party currently has 
a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts or intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously.

X. 

Sale and Repurchase Agreements and Securities Lending Transactions

Marketable securities subject to repurchase agreements are classified under “Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”, “Financial Assets 
at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets Measured at Amortised Cost” in the Bank’s portfolio and they are valued 
according to the valuation principles of the related portfolios. 

Funds obtained from the repurchase agreements are recognized under “Funds from Repurchase Transactions” account in liabilities. For the difference 
between the sale and repurchase prices determined by the repo agreements for the period; expense accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate 
method.

Reverse repo transactions are recognized under the “Receivables from Reverse Repo Transactions” account. For the difference between the purchase 
and resale prices determined by the reverse repo agreements for the period; income accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate method. 

XI. 

Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and Related Liabilities 

Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the scope of “TFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued 
Operations” are measured at the lower one of their fair value and their carrying amount which from the costs to sell are deducted and presented 
separately within the financial statements. In order to classify a tangible fixed asset as held for sale, the asset (or the disposal group) should be available 
for an immediate sale in its present condition subject to the terms of any regular sales of such assets (or such disposal groups) and the sale should be 
highly probable. For a highly probable sale, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or the disposal group), 
and an active programme to complete the plan should be initiated to locate a customer. Also, the asset (or the disposal group) should have an active 
market sale value, which is a reasonable value in relation to its current fair value. Events or circumstances may extend the completion of the sale more 
than one year. Such assets are still classified as held for sale if there is sufficient evidence that the delay in the sale process is due to the events and 
circumstances occurred beyond the control of the entity or the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset (or disposal group).

A discontinued operation is a component of a bank that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Gains or losses relating to 
discontinued operations are presented separately in the income statement.

XII. 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As at the balance sheet date, there is no goodwill recorded in the unconsolidated balance sheet of the Bank.

The Bank’s intangible assets consist of software programs. The purchased items are presented with their acquisition costs less the accumulated 
amortization and impairment provisions. In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated 
within the framework of “TAS 36 –Impairment of Assets” and impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition 
cost.  

The related assets are amortized by the straight-line method considering the estimated useful life. The amortization method and period are periodically 
reviewed at the end of each year.

XIII. 

Tangible Assets

The Bank follows its real estates in use, which are recorded under tangible fixed assets, according to the revaluation model within the framework of "TAS 
16 – Property, Plant and Equipment" since 2015. The positive difference between the net book value of real estate property values and the renewed 
expertise values which are determined by the licensed valuation in 2022, companies are recorded under the shareholders’ equity. 

In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of “TAS 36 – 
Impairment of Assets” and impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition cost.

Tangible assets other than the land and construction in progress are amortized at the straight-line method, according to their estimated useful lives. The 
estimated useful life, residual amount and the method of amortization are reviewed every year for the possible effects of the changes that occur in the 
estimates and if there is any change in the estimates, they are recognized prospectively.

Assets held under finance lease are depreciated over the expected useful life of the related assets. 

Assets subject to leasing are depreciated according to relevant contract periods.

Leasehold improvements are amortized in equal amounts considering their useful life. However, in any case the useful life cannot exceed leasing term. 
When the lease period is not certain or longer than 5 years, the amortization period is recognized as 5 years.

The difference between the sales proceeds arising from the disposal of tangible assets or the inactivation of a tangible asset and the book value of the 
tangible assets are recognized in the income statement. 

Regular maintenance and repair costs incurred for tangible assets are recognized as expense. 

There are no pledges, mortgages and similar encumbrances on tangible assets.

The “Regulation on Procedures and Principles for the Trading of Precious Metals by Banks and the Disposal of Commodities and Real Properties 
acquired by Banks due to their Receivables” has been abolished by BRSA effective from January 1, 2017. Real properties acquired by Group due to their 
receivables and not treated in the scope of “TFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" has been started to follow under 
“Other Assets” in accordance with the related accounting standard from the current period. 

The depreciation rates used in amortization of tangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Tahmini Ekonomik Ömür (Yıl)

Amortisman Oranı

Binalar
Kasalar
Diğer Menkuller

XIV. 

Leasing Transactions

50
2-50
2-25

%2
%2 - %50
%4 - %50

Assets acquired through financial leases are carried at the lower of their fair values or amortized value of the lease payments. Leasing payables are 
recognized as liabilities in the balance sheet while the interest payable portion of the payables is recognized as a deferred amount of interest. Finance 
lease payments are separated as financial expense and principal amount payment, which provides a decrease in finance lease liability, thus helps a fixed 
rate interest on the remaining principal amount of the debt to be calculated. Within the context of the Bank’s general borrowing policy, financial expenses 
are recognized in the income statement. Assets held under financial leases are recognized under the “Property, Plant and Equipment” account and are 
depreciated by using the straight-line method. 

The Bank does not participate in the financial leasing transactions as a “lessor”.

The Bank accounts its operating leases in accordance with the TFRS 16 "leases" standard. Operating leases within the framework of the 
aforementioned standard are monitored in a similar manner to financial leases. For the agreements within the scope of TFRS 16, the right of use asset 
and the lease payments are reflected to the financial statements and they are presented under "Tangible Assets" and "Liabilities from Financial Leases", 
respectively. The lease liability is calculated by discounting the future lease payments by the use of the Bank or alternative borrowing interest rates at the 
date of initial application or contract date. Fixed assets, which are accounted as right of use assets, are subject to depreciation considering the period of 
the contract. Interest expenses and foreign exchange differences related to the lease liabilities are associated with profit and loss statement.

XV. 

Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

As of the end of the reporting period, a past event is deemed to give rise to a present obligation if, taking account of all available evidence, it is more likely 
than not that a present obligation exists, the entity recognizes a provision in the financial statements. As of the end of the reporting period where it is 
more likely that no present obligation exists at the end of the reporting period, the entity discloses a contingent liability on footnotes unless the possibility 
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

In the financial statements, a provision is made for an existing commitment resulted from past events if it is probable that the commitment will be settled, 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are calculated based on the reliable estimates of management on the expenses to incur as of the balance sheet date to fulfill the liability by 
considering the risks and uncertainties related to the liability. In case the provision is measured by using the estimated cash flows required to fulfill the 
existing liability, the book value of the related liability is equal to the present value of the related cash flows.

If the amount is not reliably estimated and there is no probability of cash outflow from the Bank to settle the liability, the related liability is considered as 
“contingent” and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.  

XVI.  Contingent Assets

The contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the 
Bank. Since showing the contingent assets in the financial statements may result in the accounting of an income, which will never be generated, the 
related assets are not included in the financial statements, but if there is a possibility that an inflow of economic benefits of these assets may occur then 
it is explained in the footnotes of the financial statements. Nevertheless, the developments related to the contingent assets are constantly evaluated and 
if it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the financial statements 
of the period in which the change occurs.

XVII.  Liabilities Regarding Employee Benefits

1.  Severance Indemnities and Short-Term Employee Benefits

According to the related regulation and the collective bargaining agreements, the Bank is obliged to pay termination benefits for employees who retire, 
die, quit for their military service obligations, who have been dismissed as defined in the related regulation or (for the female employees) who have 
voluntarily quit within one year after the date of their marriage. Within the scope of “TAS 19-Employee Benefits”, the Bank allocates severance indemnity 
provisions for employee benefits by estimating the present value of the probable future liabilities. According to TAS 19, all actuarial gains and losses 
occurred are recognized under shareholder’s equity. The Bank also allocates provision for the unused paid vacation.

2.  Retirement Benefit Obligations 

Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Emekli Sandığı Vakfı (“İşbank Pension Fund”), of which each Bank employee is a member, has been established according to the 
provisional Article 20 of the Social Security Act No. 506. As per provisional article numbered 23 of the Banking Law numbered 5411, it is ruled that Bank 
pension funds, which were established within the framework of Social Security Act, will be transferred to the Social Security Institution, within 3 years 
after the publication of such law. Methods and principles related to transfer have been determined as per the Cabinet decision dated 30 November 
2006 numbered 2006/11345. However, the related article of the act has been cancelled upon the President’s application dated November 2, 2005, by 
the Supreme Court’s decision dated March 22, 2007, numbered E.2005/39, K.2007/33, which was published on the Official Gazette dated March 31, 
2007, and numbered 26479 and the execution decision was ceased as of the issuance date of the related decision.

After the justified decree related to cancelling the provisional Article 23 of the Banking Law was announced by the Constitutional Court on the Official 
Gazette dated December 15, 2007 and numbered 26731, Turkish Grand National Assembly started to work on establishing new legal regulations, and 
after it was approved at the General Assembly of the TGNA, the Law numbered 5754 “Emendating Social Security and General Health Insurance Act 
and Certain Laws and Decree Laws”, which was published on the Official Gazette dated 8 May 2008 and numbered 26870, came into effect. The new 
law decrees that the contributors of the Bank pension fund, the ones who receive salaries or income from these funds and their rightful beneficiaries will 
be transferred to the Social Security Institution and will be subject to this Law within 3 years after the release date of the related article, without any need 
for further operation.  The three-year transfer period can be prolonged for maximum 2 years by the Cabinet decision. However related transfer period 
has been prolonged for 2 years by the Cabinet decision dated March 14, 2011, which was published on the Official Gazette dated April 9, 2011, and 
numbered 27900. In addition, by the Law “Emendating Social Security and General Health Insurance Act”, which was published on the Official Gazette 
dated March 8, 2012 and numbered 28227, this period of 2 years has been raised to 4 years after that related transfer period has been prolonged for 
one more year by the Cabinet decision dated April 8, 2013, which was published on the Official Gazette dated 3 May 2013 and numbered 28636 also 
this period has revalidated one more year by the Cabinet decision dated February 24, 2014, which was published on the Official Gazette dated April 30, 
2014 and numbered 28987. The Council of Ministers has been lastly authorized to determine the transfer date in accordance with the last amendment 
in the first paragraph of the 20th provisional article of Law No.5510 implemented by the Law No. 6645 on Amendment of the “Occupational Health 
and Safety Law and Other Laws and Decree Laws” published in the Official Gazette dated April 23, 2015, and numbered 29335. This authority was 
transferred to the President with the delegated legislation No.703 which was published in the repetitive Official Gazette No. 30473 dated July 9, 2018.

On the other hand, the application made on 19 June 2008 by the Republican People’s Party to the Constitutional Court for the annulment and motion 
for stay of some articles, including the first paragraph of the provisional article 20 of the Law, which covers provisions on transfers, was rejected in 
accordance with the decision taken at the meeting of the afore-mentioned court on 30 March 2011.

The aforementioned Law also states that;

 ੵ Through a commission constituted by the attendance of one representative separately from the Social Security Institution, Ministry of Finance, Turkish 
Treasury, State Planning Organization, Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, Savings Deposit Insurance Fund, one from each pension fund, and 
one representative from the organization employing pension fund contributors, related to the transferred persons, the cash value of the liabilities of the 
pension fund as of the transfer date will be calculated by considering their income and expenses in terms of the lines of insurance within the context of 
the related Law, and technical interest rate of 9.8% will be used in the actuarial calculation of the value in cash, 

 ੵ And that after the transfer of the pension fund contributors, the ones who receive salaries or income from these funds and their rightful beneficiaries to 
the Social Security Institution, these persons’ uncovered social rights and payments,  despite being included in the trust indenture that they are subject 
to, will be continued to be covered by the pension funds and the employers of pension fund contributors. .

In line with the new law, the Bank obtained a technical actuarial valuation report from the licensed actuary for the year ended December 31, 2022. In 
related period’s financial statements, Bank provided full provision for the total amount of technical and actual deficit stated in the actuarial report of the 
aforementioned period. The actuarial assumptions used in the related actuarial report are given in Section Five Note II-i-4.1.

İşbank Members’ Supplementary Pension Fund has been founded to provide beneficiaries with additional social security and solidarity rights to 
compulsory social security benefits as per the provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish Civil Code. 

XVIII.  Taxation

1.  Corporate Tax:

In accordance with the Provisional Article 13 added to the Corporate Tax Law Numbered 5520 with the Law Numbered 7316, the 20% rate foreseen 
in the calculation of the corporate tax for the corporate earnings of the 2021 taxation period is determined as 25% (starting from the declarations to be 
submitted as of July 1, 2021 and to be valid for the corporate earnings for the taxation period starting from January 1, 2021), and as 23% for the corporate 
earnings for the 2022 taxation period. On the other hand, in accordance with the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law with the Law 
No. 7394 published in the Official Gazette dated 15.04.2022 and numbered 31810, the corporate tax rate should start from the declarations that must 
be submitted as of 01.07.2022 and taxation starting from 01.01.2022. It has been determined as 25% to be valid for the corporate earnings of the period. 
In this context, the Corporate Tax rate valid for the period of December 31, 2022, is 25%.

As per the Corporate Tax law, temporary tax is calculated and paid quarterly in line with the principles of the Income Tax Law and at the corporate tax 
rate. The temporary tax payments are deducted from the current period’s corporate tax. The 4th provisional tax for the year 2022 will be paid in February 
2023 for to be deducted from the corporate tax of the current taxation period.

Tax expense consists of current tax and deferred tax. The current tax liability is calculated over the portion of the period subject to taxation. The taxable 
profit differs from the profit stated in the income statement, as the income and expense items that can be taxable or deductible at other periods, and 
items that are not taxable or deductible are excluded. The current tax amounts payable is netted off with prepaid tax amounts and presented on the 
financial statements.

Within the framework of the Corporate Tax Law numbered 5520, 75% of the gains on the sale of the participation shares, which were held in the assets 
for a minimum of 2 whole years and 75% of the gains on the sale of immovable are exempt from tax provided that they are added to the capital as set 
forth by the Law or that they are kept in a special fund under liabilities for a period of 5 years. However, in accordance with Article 89 / a of the Law No. 
7061 and Article 5.1.e and Article 5.1.f of the Corporate Tax Law, which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017, and numbered 
30261, the 75% applied in terms of immovable sales mentioned above has been reduced to 50% which is effective from the date of publication of the 
Law.

In accordance with the provision of Article 298 / A of the Tax Procedure Law, the necessary conditions for inflation adjustment in the calculation of 
corporate tax as of the end of the 2021 calendar year have been met. However, the application of inflation adjustment in the calculation of corporate tax 
was postponed to 2023 with the regulation made with the "Law on the Amendment of the Tax Procedure Law and the Corporate Tax Law" numbered 
7352 published in the Official Gazette dated 29.01.2022 and numbered 31734. Accordingly, VUK (Tax Procedure Law) financial statements for the 2021 
and 2022 accounting periods, including the provisional tax periods, will not be subject to inflation adjustment, and the 2023 accounting period will not 
be subject to inflation adjustment as of the temporary tax periods. will be subject to inflation adjustment regardless.

2.  Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax asset or liability is determined by calculating the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
in the financial statements and the amounts considered in the legal tax base account, by taking the legal tax rates into account.  Deferred tax liabilities 
are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits 
will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Free provisions that are allocated for possible future risks are not subject 
to deferred tax calculation. No tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the temporary timing difference that affects neither the taxable profit nor the 
accounting profit and that arises from the initial recognition in the balance sheet, of assets and liabilities, other than the goodwill and mergers. The Bank 
calculates deferred tax for the provisions allocated for Stage 1 and Stage 2 expected credit loss.

The carrying values of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient 
taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is measured at enacted tax rates prevailing in the period or about to be enacted when the assets are realized or liabilities are settled, and the 
tax is recognized as income or expense in the income statement. Nonetheless, if the deferred tax is related to assets directly associated with the equity in 
the same or different period, it is directly recognized in the equity accounts.

3.  Tax Practices in the Countries that Foreign Branches Operate:

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)

In accordance with TRNC tax legislation, 15% income tax is accrued on the remaining tax base after 10% corporate tax is deducted from corporate 
income. The tax bases for companies are determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted according to TRNC regulations, to commercial 
gains and by subtracting exemptions and deductions from commercial gains. Income tax is paid in June, and corporate tax payment is made in two 
equal installments, in May and in October. On the other hand, withholding tax is paid in TRNC over interest income and similar gains of the companies. 
The related withholding tax payments and provisional tax paid every quarter during the year are deducted from corporate tax payable and the difference 
between withholding and provisional tax amounts and corporate tax payable is discounted from income tax provided that the withholding tax and paid 
provisional tax amounts are higher than corporate tax amount.

England

Corporate earnings are subject to 19% corporate tax in England. The relevant rate is applied to the tax base that is determined by adding the expenses 
that cannot be deducted due to the regulations, to commercial gains and by subtracting exemptions and deductions from commercial gains. In other 
respect, if the tax base calculated in accordance with the country legislation is within a certain range, the temporary corporate tax is paid in July, October 
of the relevant year and in January and April of the following year; If it is over a certain amount, it is paid in 4 installments in March, June, September and 
December of the relevant year.  The corporate tax amount must be finalized and paid by the end of September of the year following the year of profit. In 
case the corporate tax payable as a result of the calculation is below the temporary taxes paid, the difference amount is deducted later or paid back to 
the Branch by the authority.

Bahrain

Banks in Bahrain are not subject to tax according to the regulations of the country. 

The Republic of Iraq (Iraq)

The corporate tax rate in Iraq is 15%, and the corporate tax is paid on a consolidated basis to the tax office of the foreign bank's central branch. The 
first branch established in Iraq is considered as the central branch. Foreign bank branches whose central branch is within the boundaries of the Central 
Government must submit their consolidated financial statements to the relevant tax office by the end of May of the following year, and branches of 
foreign banks whose central branch is within the boundaries of the Northern Iraq Regional Government by the end of June of the following year at the 
latest and must pay the tax. Northern Iraq Regional Government tax offices can accrue fixed taxes other than the specified rate and can postpone the 
last payment period. 

Kosovo 

Corporate earnings are subject to income tax rate of 10% according to the Kosovo legislation. This ratio is applied to the tax base that will be calculated 
as a result of the implementation of exemptions, deductions, addition of disallowable expenses, to the corporate income and that are calculated 
in accordance with the tax laws. Tax has to be paid in advance until April, July, October and the 15th day of January of the following year by four 
installments. If those prepaid taxes are lower than the final corporate tax, the difference is paid until the end of March of the following year, in case of a 
claim made by the company, if it is higher, then the difference is returned to the institution by the tax authorities after the inspection conducted by those 
institutions.  

4.  Transfer Pricing:

Transfer pricing is regulated through Article 13 of Corporate Tax Law titled “Transfer Pricing through Camouflage of Earnings”. Detailed information for the 
practice regarding the subject is found in the “General Communiqué Regarding Camouflage of Earnings through Transfer Pricing”.

According to the aforementioned regulations, in the case of making purchase or sales of goods or services with relevant persons/corporations at a price 
that is determined against “arm’s length principle”, the gain is considered to be distributed implicitly through transfer pricing and such distribution of 
gains is not subject to deductions according to article 11 of Corporate Tax Law in means of corporate tax.

XIX.  Borrowings

The Bank, whenever required, generates funds from individuals and institutions residing domestically and abroad by approaching the borrowing 
instruments in the form of syndication, securitization, collateralized borrowing and issue of bonds/bills. Such transactions are at first carried at acquisition 
cost, and in the following periods they are valued at amortized cost measured by using the effective interest rate method.

XX. 

Equity Shares and Their Issuance 

Share issuance related to costs is recognized as expenses.  

Dividend income related with the equity shares are determined by the General Assembly of the Shareholders.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding is taken into account in the calculation of earnings per share. In case the number of shares increases by 
way of bonus issues as a result of the capital increases made by using the internal sources, the calculation of earnings per share is made by adjusting the 
weighted average number of shares, which were previously calculated as at the comparable periods. The adjustment means that the number of shares 
used in calculation is taken into consideration as if the bonus issue occurred at the beginning of the comparable period. In case such changes in the 
number of shares occur after the balance sheet date, but before the ratification of the financial statements to be published, the calculation of earnings 
per share are based on the number of new shares. The Bank’s earnings per share calculations taking place in the income statement are as follows:

Profit distributable to shareholders

commitments in the off-balance sheet accounts.

XXII.  Government Incentives

There are no government incentives utilized by the Bank, during the current or prior accounting periods.

XXIII.  Segment Reporting

Business segment is the part of an enterprise,

 ੵ which conducts business operations where it can gain revenues and make expenditures (including the revenues and expenses related to the 

transactions made with the other parts of the enterprise),

 ੵ whose operating results are regularly monitored by the authorities with the power to make decisions related to the operations of the enterprise in order

II. 

Explanations on Credit Risk

1.  Credit risk is defined as the possibility of incurring loss where the counterparty in a transaction, partially or completely fails to meet its contractual 
obligations in due time in an agreement with the Bank.

The Bank’s position against the credit risk limits defined by the current legislation is monitored by the Board. Within this framework, loans extended to 
Risk Groups and the Bank’s Risk Group, including the Bank; loans in high amounts and limitations regarding the shares in participations are monitored 
according to the limits determined in connection with the size of the shareholders’ equity. 

Credit risk limits of customers are determined depending on the financial situation and loan requirements of the borrowers, in strict compliance with the 
relevant banking legislation, within the framework of loan authorization limits of Branches, Regional Offices, Loan Divisions, the Deputy Chief Executives 
responsible for loans, the CEO, the Credit Committee and Board of Directors. These limits may be changed as may be deemed necessary by the 
Bank. Moreover, all commercial credit limits are revised periodically, provided that each period does not exceed a year. Furthermore, the borrowers and 
borrower groups forming a large proportion of the overall placement are subject to risk limits in order to provide further minimization of potential risk.

The geographical distribution of borrowers is consistent with the concentration of industrial and commercial activities in Turkey.

The distribution of borrowers by sector is monitored closely for each period and sectoral risk limits have been determined to prevent concentration of risk 
in sectoral sense.

The credit-worthiness of customers is monitored on a consistent basis by using company rating and scoring models specially developed for this 
purpose, and the audit of statements of account received is assured to have been made in accordance with the provisions as stipulated by the relevant 
legislation.

Utmost importance is given to ensure that loans are furnished with collaterals. Allocation decision, by the definition of credit risk, is not based on the 
assumption of collaterals can be liquidized. Most of the loans extended are collateralized by taking real estate, movable or commercial enterprise under 
pledge, promissory notes and other liquid assets as collateral, or by acceptance of bank letters of guarantee and individual or corporate guarantees. 
Jurisdictional applicability of collaterals in default, time required to convert to money and ability to maintain expected values are taken into consideration 
from the beginning of the credit allocation process. Most of the loans are collateralized by the receipt of real estate and securities pledge, commercial 
enterprise pledge, exchange notes and other liquid securities receivables, bank letters of guarantees and surety of other persons and institutions. It is an 
important element of the credit policy that disinclude concentration on collaterals. 

Non-performing and impaired loans has been classified in accordance with the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” and BRSA’s “Regulation on Procedures 
and Principles for Classification of Loans and Provisions to be set aside”. The detailed descriptions of these methods correspond with accounting 
practices, are included in Section Three Note VIII.

Credit risk is the risk reduction effects without taking into consideration the total amount of exposures after offsetting transactions with different risk 
classes according to the types and amounts of disaggregated risks are listed below the average for the period.

2. There are certain control limits on forward transactions in terms of counter parties, and the risks taken for derivative instruments are evaluated along 
with other potential risks resulting from the market fluctuations.

3. As a result of the current level of customers’ needs and the progress in the domestic market in this particular area, the Bank uses derivative 
transactions either for hedging or for commercial purposes. Derivative instruments with a remarkable volume are monitored with consideration that they 
can always be liquidated in case of need.

4.Indemnified non-cash loans are considered as having the same risk weights as unpaid cash loans.

The rating and scoring systems applied by the Bank, includes detailed company analysis and enables rating of all companies and loans without any 
restrictions regarding credibility. Loans and companies, which have been renewed, restructured or rescheduled, are rated within the scope of this system. 
Specialized loans are evaluated by a special rating system, which is based on the credibility of the counterparty as well as the feasibility and risk analysis 
of the cash flows created mainly by the projects undertaken or the asset financed.

5. Lending transactions abroad are conducted by determining the country risks of related countries within the context of the current rating system and 
by taking the market conditions, country risks, and the relevant legal limitations into account. Furthermore, the credibility of banks and other financial 
institutions established abroad is examined within the framework of the ratings that are determined by rating agencies and backed with CDS-IR (based 
on credit default swap) ratings and credit limits are assigned to the related banks and financial institutions accordingly.

financial institutions in the TL-denominated receivables, the risk weights that will be the subject of JCR Avrasya Derecelendirme A.Ş.  international rating

Explanations on Currency Risk

The exposed currency risk of the Bank is result of the difference between the assets denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies. Furthermore, parity fluctuations of different foreign currencies are another element of the currency risk.

The currency risk is managed by the internal currency risk limits which are established as a part of the Bank’s risk policies. The Assets and Liabilities 
Management Committee and the Assets and Liabilities Management Unit meet regularly to take the necessary decisions for hedging exchange rate and 
parity risks within the framework of the limits determined by the “Net Foreign Currency Overall Position/Shareholders’ Equity” Standard Ratio which is a 
part of the legal requirement and the internal currency risk limits specified by the Board of Directors. Foreign exchange risk management decisions are 
strictly applied.

In measuring currency risk, both the Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall are used as applied in the statutory 
reporting. 

Measurements made within the scope of the Standard Method are carried out on a monthly basis and form the basis of determining the capital 
requirement for hedging currency risk.

Risk measurements made within the context of the VAR are practiced on a daily basis using the historical and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Scenario 
analyses are conducted to support the calculations made within the VAR context. Expected loss calculations are also carried out daily.

The results of the measurements made on currency risk are reported to the Key Management and the risks are closely monitored by taking into account 
the market and the economic conditions.

The Bank’s foreign currency purchase rates at the date of balance sheet and for the last five working days of the period announced by the Bank

Explanations on Interest Rate Risk

a. Interest rate sensitivity of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (Based on time remaining to repricing date):

Interest rate risk is defined as the impairment in the value of the Bank’s interest sensitive Asset, liabilities and off-balance sheet items due to interest rate 
fluctuations. A method which takes into consideration the effect of standard interest shocks on the economic values of the Bank’s on, and off-balance 
sheet interest sensitive accounts is used for measuring the interest rate risk arising from the banking accounts, whereas the interest rate risk related to 
interest sensitive financial instruments followed under trading accounts is assessed within the scope of market risk.

Potential effects of interest rate risk on the Bank’s assets and liabilities, market developments, the general economic environment and expectations are 
regularly followed in meetings of the Asset-Liability Management Committee, where further measures to reduce risk are taken when necessary.

The Bank’s on and off-balance sheet interest sensitive accounts other than the assets and liabilities exposed to market risk are monitored and 
controlled by the limits on the ratio of structural interest rate risk to equity and tier 1 capital determined by the Board within the scope of “Asset-Liability 
Management Risk Policy”. Moreover, scenario analyses formed in line with the average maturity gaps and the historical data and expectations are also 
used in the management of the related risk.

In addition, the impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income is regularly analyzed. Within this framework, the limit on the ratio of 
change in net interest income to the capital is expected to occur under various scenarios are monitored and regularly reported to senior management.

Interest rate sensitivity

In this part, the sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to the interest rates has been analyzed assuming that the year-end balance figures were the 
same throughout the year. Mentioned analysis shows how the FC and TL changes in interest rates by one point during the one-year period affect the 
Bank's income accounts and shareholders' equity under the assumption maturity structure and balances are remain the same all year round at the end 
of the year.

During the measurement of the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity, the profit/loss on the asset and liability items that are evaluated with market value are 
determined by adding to/deducting from the difference between the expectancy value of the portfolio after one year in case there is no change in 
interest rates and the value of the portfolio one year later, which is measured after the interest shock, the interest income to be additionally earned/to be 
deprived of during the one year period due to the renewal or repricing of the related portfolio at the interest rates formed after the interest shock.

On the other hand, in the profit/loss calculation of assets and liabilities that are not evaluated by the current market prices, it is assumed that assets and 
liabilities with fixed interest rates will be renewed at maturity date and the assets and liabilities having variable interest rates will be renewed at the end of 
repricing period with the market interest rates generated after the interest shock.

Within this context, ceteris paribus, the possible changes that may occur in the Bank’s profit and shareholders’ equity in case of 100 basis point increase/
decrease in TL and FC interest rates on the reporting day are given below:

(*) Changes in interest rates is calculated assuming that the expectations reflected in inflation. The effects on the profit/loss and shareholders’ equity are stated with their before 
tax values.

(**) The effect on the profit/loss is mainly arising from the fact that the average maturity of the Bank’s fixed rate liabilities is shorter than the average maturity of its fixed rate 
assets.

Liquidity risk may occur as a result of funding long-term assets with short-term liabilities; The Bank’s liquidity is managed by the Asset-Liability 
Management Committee in accordance with the business strategies, legal requirements, current market conditions and expectations regarding the 
economic and financial conjuncture.

The Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. Although the average maturity of deposits is shorter than that assets as a result of the market 
conditions, the Bank’s wide network of branches and stable core deposit base are its most important safeguards of funding. Additionally, the Bank 
borrows medium and long-term funds from institutions abroad. Concentration limits are generally used in deposit and non-deposit borrowings in order 
to prevent adverse effects of concentrations in the liquidity risk profile of the Bank.

In order to meet the liquidity requirements that may arise from market fluctuations, considerable attention is paid to the need to preserve liquidity and 
efforts in this respect are supported by projections of Turkish Lira and Foreign Currency (FC) cash flows.  The term structure of TL and FC deposits, their 
costs and amounts are monitored on a daily basis. During these studies historical events and future expectations are taken into account as well. Based 
upon cash flow projections, prices are differentiated for different maturities and measures are taken accordingly to meet liquidity requirements. Moreover, 
potential alternative sources of liquidity are determined to be used in case of extraordinary circumstances. 

The liquidity risk exposure of the Bank has to be within the risk capacity limits which are prescribed by the legislation and the Bank’s risk appetite defined 
in its business strategy. It is essential for the Bank to have an adequate level of unencumbered liquid asset stock which can be sold or pledged, in case a 
large amount of reduction in liquidity sources occurs. The level of liquid asset buffer is determined in accordance with the liquidity risk tolerance which 
is set by the Board of Directors. Asset-Liability Management Committee is responsible for monitoring the liquidity position, determining appropriate 
sources of funds and deciding the maturity structure in accordance with the limits which are set by the Board of Directors.

The Treasury Division is responsible for monitoring the liquidity risk, in accordance with the Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy limits, 
objectives set out in the business plan and the decisions taken at the meetings of Asset-Liability Management Committee. The Treasury Division is also 
responsible for making liquidity projections and taking necessary precautions to reduce liquidity risk, by using the results of stress testing and scenario 
analysis. Within this scope, Treasury Division is monitoring the Turkish Lira (TL) and foreign currency (FC) liquidity position instantly and prospectively 
based on the information provided from the branches, business units and IT infrastructure of the Bank. The assessment of long-term borrowing 
opportunities is carried out regularly in order to balance the cash inflows and outflows and to mitigate the liquidity risk. The Bank creates liquidity through 
repurchase agreements and secured borrowings based on the high quality liquid asset portfolio, through securitization and other structured finance 
products which are created from the asset pools like credit card receivables and retail loans. 

The Bank applies liquidity stress tests to measure liquidity risk. In this approach, in liquidity stress scenarios in which parameters are determined by the 
Board of Directors, the ability of the Bank’s liquid assets’ in covering cash outflows within a one-month horizon has been described. Liquidity adequacy 
limits for TL and FC are determined by Board of Directors, based on the liquidity requirements and risk tolerance of the Bank. The liquidity risk is 
measured by the Risk Management Division and results are reported to the related executive functions, senior management and Board of Directors. 

It is essential for the Bank to monitor the liquidity position and funding strategy continuously. In case of a liquidity crisis that may arise from unfavorable 
market conditions, extraordinary macroeconomic situations and other reasons which are beyond the control of the Bank, “Emergency Action and 
Funding Plan” is expected to be commissioned. In that case, related committees have to report the precautions taken and their results to the Board of 
Directors through Audit Committee.

The Bank’s Foreign Currency (FC) and total (TL+FC) liquidity coverage ratio averages for the last three months, the highest value and the lowest value 
occurred in this period are given below.

(*) The simple arithmetic average calculated for the last three months of the weekly simple arithmetic average.

Compared to the prior quarter, in the fourth quarter of 2022, it is observed that the total liquidity coverage ratio decreased due to the increase in net cash 
outflows, and the FC liquidity coverage ratio due to the decrease in the high-quality liquid asset stock. Total and Foreign Currency liquidity coverage 
ratios are continuing to hover far above the minimum level (respectively 100% and 80%) pursuant to legal legislations.

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio which has been introduced to ensure banks to preserve sufficient stock of high-quality assets to meet their net cash 
outflows that may occur in the short term is calculated as per the Communiqué on “Measurement and Assessment of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio of 
Banks’ published by BRSA. The ratio is directly affected by the level of unencumbered high-quality assets which can be liquidated at any time and net 
cash inflows and outflows arising from the Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet transactions.

The Bank’s high quality liquid asset stock primarily consists of cash, the accounts held at CBRT and unencumbered government bonds which are issued 
by Turkish Treasury.

The Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. In terms of non-deposit borrowing, funds received from repurchase agreements, marketable 
securities issued, and funds borrowed from financial institutions are among the most significant funding sources of the Bank.

In order to manage liquidity effectively, concentration of liquidity sources and usages should be avoided. Due to the strong and stable core deposit 
base of the Bank, deposits are received from a diversified customer portfolio. In addition, in order to provide diversification in liquidity sources and 
usages, liquidity concentration limits are used effectively. Total amount of funds borrowed from a single counterparty, or a risk group is closely and 
instantaneously monitored, taking liquidity concentration limits into account. In addition to these, the cumulative liquidity deficits that the Bank is 
exposed to in various maturity tranches are periodically monitored and reported to the senior management.

Cash flows of derivatives that will take place within 30 days are taken into account in calculation of liquidity coverage ratio. Cash outflows of derivatives 
that arise from margin obligations, are reflected to the results in accordance with the methodology articulated in the related legislation.

Liquidity risk of the Bank, its foreign branches and subsidiaries that are to be consolidated are managed within the regulatory limits and in accordance 
with the group strategies. For the purposes of effectiveness and sustainability of liquidity management, funding sources of group companies and 
funding diversification opportunities in terms of markets, instruments and tenor are evaluated and liquidity position of the group companies are 
monitored continuously by the Bank.

The Bank is exposed to stock price risk due to its investments in companies being traded on the Borsa İstanbul A.Ş. (BIST). 

The Bank's sensitivity to stock price risk at the reporting date was measured with an analysis. In the analysis, with the assumption of all other 
variables were held constant and the data (stock prices) used in the valuation method are 10% higher or lower. According to this assumption, 
in shares traded in Borsa Istanbul and followed under Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss account, expected to have an effect 
amounting to TL 49,896 increase/decrease.

The Bank’s unconsolidated leverage ratio is calculated in accordance with the principles of the “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Banks’ 
Leverage Level”. The Bank’s consolidated Leverage ratio is 9.19% (December 31, 2021: 6.75). According to Regulation the minimum leverage ratio is 3%. 
The changes in the leverage ratio are mostly due to the increase in total risk amounts.

Strike prices, quotations, market prices determined by the CBRT and published in the Official Gazette and the values calculated by using alternative 
models, are taken as the basis in the fair value determination of Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

When the prices of the financial assets measured at amortized cost cannot be measured in an active market, fair values are not deemed to be reliably 
determined and amortized cost, calculated by the internal rate of return method, are taken into account as the fair values. 

Fair values of banks, loans granted, deposits and funds borrowed from other financial institutions and marketable securities are calculated by 
discounting the amounts in each maturity bracket formed according to repricing periods, using the rate corresponding to relevant maturity bracket in the 
discount curves based on current market conditions. 

2. 

Information on fair value measurements recognized in the financial statements

“TFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement” standard requires the items, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values to be shown in the notes 
by being classified within a range. According to this, the related financial instruments are classified into three levels in such a way that they will express 
the significance of the data used in fair value measurements. At the first level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined according 
to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, at the second level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined 
by directly or indirectly observable market data, and at the third level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by the data, which 
are not based on observable market data. The financial assets, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their values, are shown below as classified 
according to the aforementioned principles of ranking.

a.  General Information on Risk Management Approach and Risk Weighted Amounts:

a1    The Bank's risk management approach

Bank is exposed to financial and non-financial risks which are required to be analyzed, monitored, and reported within specific risk management 
principles of the Bank and with the perspective of risk management. The risk management process is organized within the framework of risk 
management and serves the creation of a common risk culture in corporate level, which brings “corporate governance” to forefront, the independence 
of the internal audit and monitoring units from the business units that undertake risks is established risk is defined in accordance with international 
regulations and in this context measurement, analysis, monitoring, reporting, and control functions are carried. 

Risk management process and the functions involved in the process is one of the primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Risk 
Committee operates to prepare the Bank's risk management strategies and policies, submit them to the Board of Directors for approval and monitor 
the implementations. Evaluating the capital adequacy and observing the active use of results in Bank’s planning and decision-making processes, 
establishing and monitoring limits related to main risks, monitoring the activities of risk management (determining, defining, measuring, evaluating and 
managing risk) and monitoring results and methods in measuring risk are also under their authority and responsibility of the Committee. Committee 
reports activity results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.

The Operational Risk Committee is engaged in determining strategies and policies for the management of operational risks that the Bank may be 
exposed to, developing an operational risk management framework, and strengthening the governance model for operational risks. The Committee 
reports the results of its activities to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.

The Risk Management Department, which reports to the Board of Directors of the Parent Bank through the Internal Systems Manager; organized as 
Asset-Liability Management Unit, Credit Risk Management Unit, Credit Risk Analytics and Control Unit, Operational Risk and Affiliate Risk Unit, Model 
Risk and Validation Unit, Internal Capital Assessment Process and Economic Capital Unit.

The Bank’s risk management process is carried out within the framework of risk policies which are issued by the Board of the Directors via Internal 
Systems Manager by taking the recommendations of the Risk Management Department into account and which include the written standards that 
are implemented by the business units. These policies which are entered into force in line with the international practices are general standards which 
contain organization and scope of the risk management function, risk measurement policies, duties and responsibilities of the risk management group, 
procedures for determining risk limits, ways to eliminate limit violations, compulsory approvals, and confirmations to be given in a variety of events and 
situations.

In the aforementioned risk policies, the Bank’s risk appetite framework is defined as a set of approaches that determine the risk capacity, the risk 
appetite, the risk tolerance and that include the policies, procedures, controls and systems for reporting and monitoring of the limits set for the Bank’s risk 
profile and the indicators in the framework. The Bank's risk appetite framework, which is formed in accordance with the above-mentioned factors and 
entered into force with the Board of Directors approval, includes indicators that are aligned with the business plan, the strategic programme, capital and 
remuneration planning and comparable on a business unit level to the extent possible. The compliance to the limits within the framework is periodically 
monitored and the realization of the risk appetite indicators are reported to the Risk Committee and the Boards on a monthly basis.

In order to build a strong corporate culture that has a risk management perspective, the Bank has policies, processes, systems and a control system that 
is integrated with the Bank’s risk management system to effectively control the bank's risk management system is available. All employees of the Bank 
essentially perform their duties in a responsible manner that aims to develop controls to reduce or eliminate the probability of the Bank to incur losses 
related to the operational risks. In the process risk analysis studies, risks and the related controls are evaluated together with employees performing the 
relevant process in a holistic approach.  Procedures to be followed in case of a risk threshold breach and risk definitions are given in the risk politics.  
Code of conducts, operation manuals, the sharing of duties between business units and risk units are announced to the Bank’s staff.

The risk reports that analyse the results reached by the Bank and the comprehensive risk assessment and comparison of these results with a risk 
management perspective are periodically submitted to the Risk Committee and to the Board through the Audit Committee. The content of the above 
mentioned reports could be summarised as follows:
 ੵ Capital adequacy ratio, the progression of the components of this ratio and the issues that affect the   aforementioned ratio,
 ੵ Monitoring the compliance status of the limits set by the Board of Directors as a part of the risk appetite framework and based on the components of

Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

As per the communique on “Bank’s Internal Systems and Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process” and “Guidelines for Stress Testing of 
Banks to Use in Capital and Liquidity Planning”, stress tests are conducted for the entire risks that the Bank is exposed to and on the basis of significant 
risk categories. As a part of the holistic stress tests, risk appetite, capital planning, strategic plan and budget, action plans for emergencies and 
unexpected situations related to miscellaneous risks and other issues considered as significant are taken into consideration. In the holistic and individual 
stress test processes carried out by the Bank, the most advanced approaches used in risk measurement in the Bank are used as much as possible, 
together with the methods that are the basis of legal reporting (standard approaches for credit and market risk, basic indicator approach for operational 
risk). 

In the stress tests, both the first pillar risks (credit risk, market risk, operational risk) in scope of the regulatory framework and all the other risks that 
the Bank is exposed to independent of the regulatory framework are taken into account in a holistic perspective. In determining the course of capital 
adequacy under various scenarios during the planning horizon, the actions that the Bank will take in case of stress conditions and the impact of the 
diversified growth strategies of business units on the capital adequacy and the balance sheet are considered.

The levels at which the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank will reach are estimated and monitored with stress tests. In addition, reverse stress tests are 
carried out regularly, by determining the problematic loan growth rate and increase in exchange rates, which will cause the Bank's capital adequacy to 
fall within the legal limits.

The scope and content of the Bank's risk management system in terms of the main risk types are listed below. Bank's risk mitigation strategies and 
processes for the assessment of their effectiveness are given in Fourth Section II No. "Explanations on Credit Risk" under the Section IV, XI-f.1 notes. No. 
"The Public Disclosure of Qualitative Information Related to the Market Risk" mentioned in the section.

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of the failure to comply with the requirements or failing to fulfill its obligations partially or totally of the counter side of the 
transaction contract with the Bank.  The methodology and responsibilities of the credit risk management, controlling and monitoring and the framework 
of credit risk limitations specified with the credit risk policy. 

The Bank defines measures and manages credit risk of the all products and activities. Board of Directors review the Bank’s credit risk policies and credit 
risk strategy on an annual basis as a minimum. Top Management is responsible for the implementation of credit risk policies which are approved by 
Board of Directors.

As a result of loans and credit risks analysis all findings are reported to Board of Directors and Top Management on a regular basis. In addition to 
transaction and company-based credit risk assessment process, monitoring of credit risk also refers to an approach with monitoring and managing the 
credit as a whole maturity, sector, security, geography, currency, credit type and credit rating. 

In the Bank’s credit risk management, along the limits as required by legal regulations, the Bank utilizes the risk limits to undertake the maximum credit 
risk within risk groups or sectors that the Board of Directors determines. These limits are determined such a way that prevents risk concentration on 
particular sectors. In case of exceeding the limits, the excess and its reasons are immediately reported to the Risk Committee and Board of Directors. The 
actions to be taken to remedy the excess and the time to eliminate the excess are concluded under the authority of the Board of Directors. The results of 
the controls regarding the excess of the risk limits and the evaluations of these limits are presented by Internal Audit and Risk Management Group to Top 
Management and Board of Directors.

The Bank uses credit decision support systems which are created for the purpose of credit risk management, lending decisions, controlling the credit 
process and credit provisioning. The consistency of the credit decision support systems with the structure of the Bank’s activities, size and complexity 
is examined continuously by internal systems. Credit decision support systems contain the Risk Committee assessment and approval of Board of 
Directors.

Asset and Liability Management Risk

Asset-liability management risk defined as the risk of Bank’s incurring loss due to managing all financial risks that are inflicted from the Bank's assets, 
liabilities and off-balance sheet transactions, ineffectively. Trading book portfolio’s market risk, structural interest rate risk and liquidity risk of the banking 
portfolio; are considered within the scope of the asset liability management.

Complying the established risk limits and being at the limits that stipulated by the legislation are the primary priority of Asset-liability management risk. 
Risk limits are determined by the Board of Directors by taking into consideration of the Group's liquidity, target income level and general expectations 
about changes in risk factors.

Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are responsible for following the Bank's capital is used optimally; for this purpose, checking the status 
against risk limits and providing the necessary actions are taken.

Asset and Liability Management Committee is responsible for managing the Asset and Liability risk within the framework of operating principles that are 
involved in the risk appetite and risk limits are set by the Board of Directors in accordance with the policy statement.

Asset and liability management processes and compliance with the provisions of the policy are controlled and audited by the internal audit system. The 
execution of the audit, reporting the audit results, action plans for the elimination of errors and gaps identified as a result of inspections regarding the 
fulfillment of the principles, are determined by the Board of Directors.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is defined as “the possibility of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external 
events, including legal risk”. Studies consisted of and are formed of occur by execution of identification, definition, measurement, analysis, monitoring 
of operational risk, providing and reporting the necessary control related to monitoring the progress of our country and the world, the development of 
techniques and methods, necessary legal reporting, notification and conduct of follow-up transactions. Studies on the subject are conducted by the 
Department of Risk Management.

Operational risks that arise due to the activities are defined in "Bank Risk Catalogue" and classified in respect of species. Bank Risk Catalogue is kind of 
the fundamental document that used for identification and classification of all at the risk that may be encountered. It is updated in line with the changes 
in the nature of the processes and activities. 

Qualitative and quantitative methods are used in a combination for measurement and evaluation of the operational risks. In this process, information use that 
obtained from "Impact-Probability Analysis", "Missing Event Data Analysis", "Risk Indicators", “Scenario Analysis”, “Top-Down Risk Assessment”, “Internal 
Model” methods. Methods prescribed by legal regulations are applied as minimum in determining the capital requirement level for the operating risk.

Operational Risk Committee that established by a decision of the board of directors on 30.04.2020, the management of operational risks that the bank 
may be exposed for the determination of policies and strategies, the development of an operational risk management framework and operational risks 
include activities with the aim of strengthening the governance model. The Committee works in cooperation with the Risk Committee and reports the 
results of its activities to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.

All risks are assessed in the context of operational risk, loss events and the risk indicators same as operational risks that occurred in the Bank, are 
monitored on a regular basis by the Department of Risk Management and reported periodically to the Risk Committee, Operational Risk Committee, and 
the Board of Directors.

Model Risk Management and Validation Operations

Model risk is the risk of financial losses and/or loss of reputation that the Bank may be exposed to due to errors and/or malfunctions that occur during 
the creation, implementation or use of models used in its activities. In order to address the model risk in a holistic manner, the model definition, model 
life cycle and triple line of defense structure and the duties and responsibilities of all functions of the Bank in this structure are defined in the model risk 
management policy.

Model risk management and validation activities in the second line of defense of the triple line of defense structure; creating the model inventory, 
determining and approving the model class, validating the models, preparing periodic reports on the Bank's model risk and presenting those reports to 
the Risk Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

Risk measurement models are validated at least once a year according to international standards. Within the scope of validation, activities are carried 
out to test the performance and validity of models with statistical methods, to examine the quality of the data used in the model development phase and 
the conceptual soundness of the selected methods, and to evaluate the health of the processes created for the use of the models. The results of the 
validation activities are reported to the Risk Committee, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

c.1.4. Additional Explanation About the Credit Quality of Assets

(**) The source of the difference is collaterals of exposures to which credit risk mitigation is applied in the calculation of capital adequacy.

The Bank intends to use fair value measurement methods in accordance with TFRS 13 using valuation methodologies based primarily on observable 
data. In this context, market prices, quoted prices, prices set by CBRT and published in official gazette and internal pricing models are also utilized in the 
fair value measurement of the financial assets in the form of securities. Valuation models that use market data such as interest rates, efficiency curves, 
currency, and volatility curves are used as the basis for derivative transactions while third party valuation services are also available.

The accuracy of the market prices, data and / or model inputs used in valuation under the independent price validation process is regularly checked and 
the suitability of the results provided by the third-party pricing service is tested at regular intervals.

c.1.1.  General qualitative information on credit risk

This information is included in footnotes under Section Four, Note II "Explanations on Credit Risk," and Section Four, Note XI-a.1.

Bank’s methods for determining provision amounts and classification of its loans are mentioned in the Section Three Note VIII.

The bank is restructuring its loans classified as first and second group as well as non-performing loans and receivables. Restructuring in performing loans 
are made by granting a new loan or extending the term date of credit given to customer by Bank.  Restructuring of a contract is made on customer’s demand 
or with the purpose of enhancing the solvency of customer. Restructuring in non-performing loans are generally made by establishing a new redemption 
plan within the context of a protocol aiming the collection of those receivables whose redemption plan are not valid because of delinquency previously.

The breakdown of receivables in terms of geographic regions, sectors and remaining maturities are represented in “Explanations on Credit Risk” in the 
Section Four Notes II.

On the basis of sector-based provisions for receivables are presented in the footnote numbered Section Four II-16. The amounts of the receivables that 
are set aside for the geographical regions are as follows. The amount of non-performing loans which are written off in 2022 is TL 4,977,165.

d.  Explanations on Counterparty credit risk

d.1.  Qualitative Explanations on Counterparty credit risk

The counterparty credit risk that the Bank is exposed to be managed within the framework of general limit allocation and credit risk mitigation that are 
outlined in the Credit Risk Policy of the Bank. In setting general credit limits, the counterparty credit risks of customers as well as their cash and noncash 
risks are taken into account with a holistic view. Moreover, the total position of the transactions which create counterparty credit risk is also monitored 
under a separate risk limit.

The counterparty credit risk, which stems from derivatives and repo like transactions including transactions with qualified central counterparties that result in 
liabilities for both sides, is measured according to the Appendix-2 and Appendix-4 of the "Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy 
of Banks" Counterparty credit risk valuation method based on the calculation of fair values of the derivative transactions is implemented. In the process 
of calculating the counterparty credit risk, the Standard Approach is used to determine the risk amounts of derivative transactions. In calculating the risk 
amount related to derivative transactions; 1.4 times the sum of potential credit risk amounts and positive replacement costs is charged.

Most of the credit risk related to the derivative transactions with other banks is subject to daily collateral clearing agreements mutually signed with 
related parties and the counterparty credit risk is hence reduced. There are no guarantees received or sold by credit derivatives by the Bank in the 
context of trading or banking accounts.

f.  Market Risk Explanations

f.1.  Qualitative information to be disclosed to the public regarding market risk:

Market risk is defined as the risk that may reduce the market value of the trading portfolio due to the changes in the risk factors named interest rate, 
exchange rates, equities and the price of commodities and options.

The procedures for the management of market risk are discussed in the Bank's "Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy" and those procedures are 
in line with the risk/return expectations of the Bank and with the limits that are defined in the risk appetite framework. Limits related to market risk; are 
established by the Board and are revised periodically in order to reflect market conditions and best practices in the industry. Compliance to those limits 
is closely monitored by the Risk Management Department, Asset and Liability Management Committee and by the executive departments. Additionally, 
compliance with the provisions relating to the procedures and policies of market risk management is audited by the internal audit system.

Trading activities of the securities that are included in the calculation of market risk is carried out by taking the Asset-Liability Committee decisions, risk 
policies and established limits into consideration and risks arising due to these activities are hedged using derivatives transactions where necessary.

Measurement of market risk, reporting of results, and monitoring compliance with the risk limits are among the key responsibilities of the Risk 
Management Department. Analyses related to market risk are reported to the Risk Committee and to the Board via the Audit Committee by the Risk 
Management Department.

The trading book of the Bank included in market risk calculations consists of on balance-sheet financial assets that are held for trading intent, derivatives 
that provide hedge to those instruments and foreign currency positions.  The market risk carried by the Bank is measured and monitored using two 
methods known respectively as the Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall in accordance with the local regulations 
which are established in compliance with the international legislations.  In this context, the exchange rate risk emerges as the most important component 
of the market risk.

The market risk calculations using the Standard Method are performed at the end of each month and the measurement results are included in the 
statutory reports as well as being reported to the Bank’s top management. 

The Value at Risk Model and Expected Shortfall are another alternative for the Standard Method used for measuring and monitoring market risk. This 
model is used to measure the market risk on a daily basis in terms of interest rate risk, currency risk and equity share risk and is a part of the Bank’s daily 
internal reporting. Further retrospective testing (back-testing) is carried out on a daily basis to determine the reliability of the daily risk calculation by the 
VAR model, which is used to estimate the maximum possible loss for the following day. 

Scenario analyses which support the VAR model used to measure the losses that may occur in the ordinary market conditions are practiced, and the 
possible impacts of scenarios that are developed based on the future predictions and the past crises, on the value of the Bank’s portfolio are determined 
and the results are reported to the Bank’s top management.

XII. 

Explanations on Segment Reporting

Interest rate risk arising from the banking accounts is defined as negative effect risk on capital of the changes in market interest rates due to differences 
in interest settlement and re-pricing on, differences in interest-earning assets taking part in the banking book; interest-bearing liabilities; interest-bearing 
derivative transactions inclusive of the policies established by the Bank Board of Directors, is managed within the framework of the strategies set by 
the Asset-Liability Management Committee. Compliance with internal risk limits for banking portfolio is closely and continuously monitored by the Risk 
Management Department and Asset-Liability Committee and the measurement results are reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis.

Duration and sensitivity analysis are conducted on a monthly basis by the Bank in the scope of monitoring of interest rate risk arising from the banking 
books about Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Accounts from the Regulation on Measurement and Assessment of Standard Shock Method which 
is published in the Official Gazette No. 28034 dated 23 August 2011. In the duration analysis, the maturity gap between assets and liabilities of the 
balance sheet are determined by the calculation of the weighted average maturities based on the asset that sensitive to interest rate and liabilities and 
off-balance sheet transactions re-pricing period. In the interest rate risk sensitivity analysis, the influence of the various interest rate change scenarios to 
the economic value of the Bank's capital is examined.

In the calculations made within the framework of the said regulation, behavioral maturity modeling is performed for demand deposits with low sensitivity 
to interest changes and whose original maturity is longer than the contractual maturity. In these studies, which are defined as core deposit analysis, 
based on historical data, calculations are made for what amount of demand deposits will remain within the bank for what maturity, and these analyzes 
are used as an input in quantifying the interest rate risk arising from banking accounts in a way that does not contradict legal provisions.

f.10.6.  Outline of the liquidation policy for uncollectible loans and other receivables

In order to ensure the liquidation of non-performing loans, all possibilities evaluated to ensure maximum collection according to the legislation. Primarily, 
administrative initiatives are taken to deal with the borrower. Collection through legal proceedings is applied if there is no possibility of collection, 
liquidation or structuring for receivables through negotiations.

Our receivables that cannot be collected through administrative and legal initiatives can be written off from the assets within the framework of portfolio-
based receivables sales or write-offs, by fulfilling the requirements of the Tax Procedure Law.

f.10.7. 

Information on write-off policy

Receivables classified as non-performing loans are collected primarily within the framework of administrative contacts with the debtors, and if no result 
is obtained, legal proceedings are applied. In case of deletion of NPLs from assets, one of the methods of destruction, receivable sale and write-off can 
be applied. 

In the Bank's write-off policy within the framework following the amendment made in Article 53 of the Banking Law with the Law on Income Tax 
and amending Certain Laws No. 19.07.2019/7186, along with the "Classification of Loans and the Procedures and Principles for the Reserves to be 
Allocated" published in the Official Gazette No. 27.11.2019 / 30961, the following statements are issued:

 ੵ The portion of the receivables, which are followed under the Fifth Group-Loans with a Loss Qualification and for which a lifetime expected credit loss 

provision has been made due to the default of the debtor, for which there is no reasonable expectation of its collection, can be write-off to the extent of 
the maximum provision amount,

 ੵ write-off is an accounting practice and does not result in the remission of the receivable,

Receivables that are proven to be uncollectible in legal follow-up process can be write-off within the instructions of Tax Procedure Law.

amounting to TL 235,129 for the amount which is recognized within the framework of credit card expenses of credit card customers or promotions for

i.4.3.  As mentioned public disclosures of the Bank on December 31, 2012 and December 19, 2013; an inspection has been made by the inspectors of 
Tax Inspection Board to "Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Mensupları Munzam Sosyal Güvenlik ve Yardımlaşma Sandığı Vakfı" ("İşbank Supplementary Pension 
Fund"), which was founded as per the provisions of the Turkish Commercial and Civil Codes, regarding the payments that fulfill İşbank's liabilities within 
the framework of the Articles of Foundation of the Pension Fund and the relevant legislation. As a result of this investigation, tax audit reports were 
prepared for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 claiming that the aforementioned liabilities should be taxed in terms of wage base, thus, they 
should be subject to withholding tax and stamp duty. According to this report, the total amount of tax and penalties notified to Bank was TL 74,353 for 
2007 and 2008; and as of reporting date TL 151,899 for 2009, 2010 and 2011 and it was stated that the Bank applied to tax courts to cancel these tax 
notifications and some of the court decisions were determined in favor of the Bank and some others were determined against the Bank.

In this context, for the finalized decisions of Regional Administrative Courts related to the years 2007 and 2008 against the Bank, the Bank applied to 
the Constitutional Court. According to decisions made by Constitutional Court up to reporting date, there is no predictability in legal conformity for taxing 
the Bank's contributions to the Pension Fund in terms of wage base and for this reason it was accepted that property right of the Bank has been violated 
according to the 35th article of Constitution. The Court decided that the amount of tax, penalties and default interest which was paid by the Bank should 
be paid back to the Bank as for compensation with its legal interest.

According to the decision of the Constitutional Court, it is expected that the cases related to the periods 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 will conclude 
in favor of the Bank. In this context, the provisions amounting to TL 207,402 which had been allocated for the mentioned periods, reversed at 2015. 

In the last decision of the constitutional court numbered 2016/2400 regarding the legal proceedings initiated upon the conclusion of the lawsuits 
amounting to TL 61,060 for the 20 periods in 2012 and 2013 against the bank; it was accepted that the predictability criterion was realized after the 
2012 tax review, and it was concluded that the Bank’s ownership rights were not violated for December 2012 and beyond periods. However, since 
the aforementioned periods were filed by making a reservation and paying taxes, the mentioned decision had no additional effect on the financial 
statements. In addition, at two case files, which was one of the lawsuits regarding the repayment of income tax stoppage and stamp tax which has been 
paid by reservation statement beginning from December 2013, of which its court decision was rendered in favour of the Bank, has been reversed by the 
majority of the votes of the Assembly after it was submitted to the General Assembly of Tax Courts and the decisions were finalized against the Bank. 
Regarding the mentioned issue, the legal process is ongoing.

Within the scope of these developments, the Bank recognized provisions amounting to TL 12,622 (December 31, 2021: TL 162,960).

i.4.4. In 1993, Dışbank A.Ş. shares which were owned by the Bank were sold to Lapis Holding A.Ş. In 2008, it was claimed that USD 75 million of the 
amount, which was paid upfront within the context of the sale agreement, had been provided from the funds of the insolvent TYT Bank A.Ş. by the buyer 
and payment of the mentioned amount as well as the interest to be calculated to the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (SDIF) was demanded.

The administrative actions initiated by the SDIF in 2008 were revoked by Council of State Administrative Law Chambers 13th upon the application of 
the Bank. The decisions which were in favour of the Bank were reversed by Plenary Session of the Law Chamber upon the appeal of the SDIF. Council of 
State Administrative Law Chambers 13th decided to reject the applications of the Bank in January 2016 due to their obligation to obey the decisions of 
reversal.

After the aforementioned court decisions, although the legal process was still in progress, the collection procedures were carried out within the context 
of Law No. 6183 and TL 298,466 including the default interest, was collected from the Bank by the SDIF at prior periods and made provision for the 
whole amount.

As a part of the legal process, individual application to the Constitutional Court of Republic of Turkey has been made by the Bank was not concluded 
positively. Regarding the ongoing lawsuits, the negative declaratory action brought against the Bank to determine that the Bank is not a debtor has been 
finalized against the Bank. In this context, necessary provision has been made by the Bank in the financial statements dated 31.12.2022 for the difference 
between the down payment regarding the sales contract stated above and the amount of 52.6 million USD paid in 2016. legal process is still ongoing

Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş (the Bank) and its subsidiaries

summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter on the consolidated financial statements described in the Basis of for Qualified 
Opinion paragraph, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
financial position of Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. as at December 31, 2022 and consolidated financial performance and consolidated its

Key Audit Matter

How the Key Audit Matter is addressed in our audit

Pension Fund Obligations

Financial impact of TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard 
and impairment on financial assets and related important 
disclosures

As presented in Section III disclosure VIII, the Group 
recognizes expected credit losses of financial assets in 
accordance with TFRS 9 Financial Instruments standard. 
We considered impairment of financial assets as a key audit 
matter since:
 ੵ Amount of on and off-balance sheet items that are subject 

to expected credit loss calculation is material to the 
financial statements.

 ੵ There are complex and comprehensive requirements of 

TFRS 9.

 ੵ The classification of the financial assets is based on 

the Group’s business model and characteristics of the 
contractual cash flows in accordance with TFRS 9 and 
the Bank uses significant judgment on the assessment 
of the business model and identification of the complex 
contractual cash flow characteristics of financial 
instruments. 

 ੵ Policies implemented by the Bank management include 
compliance risk to the regulations and other practices.

 ੵ Processes of TFRS 9 are advanced and complex.
 ੵ Judgements and estimates used in expected credit loss, 

complex and comprehensive.

 ੵ Disclosure requirements of TFRS 9 are comprehensive and 

complex.

Our audit procedures included among others include:
 ੵ Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies as to 
the requirements of TFRS 9, Group’s past experience, local 
and global practices.

 ੵ Reviewing and testing of processes which are used 
to calculate expected credit losses by involving our 
Information technology and process audit specialists.
 ੵ Evaluation of the reasonableness and appropriateness of 
key judgments and estimates determined by management 
and the methods, judgments, and data sources used in 
calculating expected loss, taking into account the standard 
requirements, industry and global practices.

 ੵ Reviewing the appropriateness of criteria in order to identify 
the financial assets having solely payments of principal 
and interest and checking the compliance to the Group’s 
Business model.

 ੵ Evaluating the alignment of the significant increase in 

credit risk determined during the calculation of expected 
credit losses, default definition, restructuring definition, 
probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default 
and macro-economic variables that are determined by the 
financial risk management experts with the Group’s past 
performance, regulations, and other processes that has 
forward looking estimations.

 ੵ Assessing the completeness and the accuracy of the data 

used for expected credit loss calculation.

 ੵ Testing the mathematical accuracy of expected credit loss 

calculation on sample basis.

 ੵ Evaluating the judgments and estimates used for the 

individually assessed financial assets.

 ੵ Evaluating the necessity and accuracy of the updates 
made or required updates after the modeling process

 ੵ Auditing of TFRS 9 disclosures

It has been addressed whether there have been any 
significant changes in regulations governing pension 
liabilities, employee benefits plan during the period, that 
could lead to adjust the valuation of employee benefits. 
Support from actuarial auditor of our firm, has been taken to 
assess the appropriateness of the actuarial assumptions and 
calculations performed by the external actuary. 

We further focused on the accuracy and adequacy of the 
Bank’s provision provided for the deficit and also disclosures 
on key assumptions related to pension fund deficit.

Employees of the Group are members of Emekli Sandığı 
Vakıfları”, (“the Fund”), which is established in accordance 
with the temporary Article 20 of the Social Security Act 
No. 506 and related regulations. The Fund is a separate 
legal entity and foundation recognized by an official decree, 
providing all qualified employees with pension and post-
retirement benefits. As disclosed in the “Section Three 
Note XX.2” to the financial statements, Banks will transfer 
their pension fund to the Social Security Institution and the 
authority of the “Council of Ministers” on the determination 
of the mentioned transfer date is changed as “President” in 
the Decree Law No. 703 published in the Official Gazette 
numbered 30473 and dated July 9, 2018. According to 
the technical balance sheet report as of 31 December 
2022 prepared considering the related articles of the 
Law regarding the transferrable benefit obligations for the 
non- transferrable social benefits and payments which 
are included in the articles of association, the Fund has an 
actuarial and technical deficit which is fully provisioned for. 

The valuation of the Pension Fund liabilities requires 
judgment in determining appropriate assumptions such as 
defining the transferrable social benefits, discount rates, 
salary increases, demographic assumptions, inflation rate 
estimates and the impact of any changes in individual 
pension plans. The Group Management uses Fund actuaries 
to assist in assessing these assumptions.

Considering the subjectivity of key assumptions and 
estimate used in the calculations of transferrable liabilities   
and the effects of the potential changes in the estimates 
used together with the uncertainty around the transfer date 
and given the fact that technical interest rate is prescribed 
under the law, we considered this to be a key audit matter.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange 
contracts, currency and interest rate swaps, currency and 
interest rate options, futures and other derivative financial 
instruments which are held for trading are initially recognized 
on the statement of financial position at fair value and 
subsequently are re-measured at their fair value. The details 
of the related amounts are explained in “Section Five Note I.c”, 
and “Section Five Note II.b”.

Our audit procedures included among others involve 
reviewing policies regarding fair value measurement 
accepted by the Group management fair value calculations 
of the selected derivative financial instruments which 
is carried out by valuation experts of our firm and the 
assessment of used estimations and the judgements and 
testing the assessment of operating effectiveness of the key 
controls in the process of fair value determination.

Fair value of the derivative financial instruments is 
determined by selecting most convenient market data and 
applying valuation techniques to those particular derivative 
products. Derivative Financial Instruments are considered

Independent Auditor’s Report

Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Group management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the BRSA 
Accounting and Reporting Legislation and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to 
liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

In an independent audit, the responsibilities of us as independent auditors are:

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 
that an audit conducted in accordance with BRSA Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with BRSA Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional 
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 ੵ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform 

audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. (The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.)

 ੵ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not 

for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank and its subsidiaries internal control.

 ੵ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
 ੵ Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether 
a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank's and its subsidiaries subject to consolidation’s 
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the 
related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on 
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a 
going concern.

 ੵ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial 

statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 ੵ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities and business activities within the Group to express an 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit 
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with government with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, 
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 
related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 
consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless 
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be 
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of 
such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1.  In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the Turkish Commercial Code (“TCC”) no 6102; no significant matter has come to our attention 

that causes us to believe that the Bank’s bookkeeping activities and financial statements for the period January 1 – December 31, 2022 are not in 
compliance with the TCC and provisions of the Bank’s articles of association in relation to financial reporting.

2.  In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the TCC; the Board of Directors submitted to us the necessary explanations and provided required 

documents within the context of audit. 

The engagement partner who supervised and concluded this independent auditor’s report is Fatma Ebru Yücel.

Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority for the matters not regulated by the aforementioned legislations.

COVID-19 outbreak, which started in China and spread globally in the first half of 2020, caused serious effects on both economic and social life. In 
addition to the social life effects of the cautions taken to ensure the control of outbreak in many countries, there are also consequences observed which 
is negatively affecting economic activity both on regional and global scale. As in other countries where the pandemic is effective, various cautions also 
have been taken in our country in social and economic terms. The Bank sustains its activities with the consolidated companies for the period precisely 
by closely monitoring the processes related to outbreak, postponing retail and non-retail customers' due debts, restructuring with grace period and 
existing or additional limit allocations in respect with customers’ needs.  Assessments regarding to possible effects of the COVID-19 outbreak through 
the measurement of expected credit losses are explained in the Section Three “VIII. “Explanations on Impairment of Financial Assets”.

“Interest Rate Benchmark Reform- Stage 2”, brought changes in various TAS / TFRSs effective from January 1, 2021, was released in December 2020 
within the scope of the project of transition of the benchmark interest rates carried out by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). It was 
concluded that as of December 31, 2022, the changes have not occurred significantly on the Bank's financial statements.

TAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies requires entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to prepare 
their financial statements in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. TAS 29 describes characteristics that may indicate 
that an economy is hyperinflationary, and it requires all entities that report in the currency of the same hyperinflationary economy apply this Standard 
from the same date. Therefore, it is expected that TAS 29 will start to be applied simultaneously by all entities with the announcement of Public Oversight 
Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority to ensure consistency of the application required by TAS 29 throughout the country. However, the 
Authority has not published any announcement that determines entities would restate their financial statements for the accounting period ending on 
31 December 2022 in accordance with TAS 29. In this context, TAS 29 is not applied and inflation adjustment has not been reflected in the financial 
statements as of December 31, 2022.

The tension between Russia and Ukraine since January 2022 has turned into a crisis and an armed conflict as of the date of the report. The Bank does 
not carry out any activities in these two countries that are subject to the crisis. Considering the geographies in which the Bank operates, the crisis did 
not have a direct impact on the Bank's operations as of 31 December 2022. However, since the course of the crisis is still uncertain as of the date of this 
report, developments that may occur on a global scale, and the effects of these developments on the global and regional economy and on the Bank's 
operations, are closely monitored. Since the Bank's risks to both countries are at a very low level, these developments are not expected to have an 
significant impact on the Bank's operations and the aforementioned developments do not have a significant impact on the operations of our subsidiary, 
JSC İşbank, which is within the scope of consolidation.

The accounting policies applied in the current period are in line with the prior period financial statements. The accounting policies and the valuation 
principles used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are presented below in detail.

Strategy for Use of Financial Instruments and Foreign Currency Transactions 

1.  The Group’s Strategy on Financial Instruments 

The Group’s main financial activities comprise a wide range of activities such as banking, insurance and reinsurance services, brokerage services, 
investment consulting, real estate portfolio and asset management, financial lease, factoring services, portfolio and asset management. The liabilities on 
the Group’s balance sheet are mainly composed of relatively short-term deposits, parallel to general liability structure of the banking system, which is its 
main field of activity. As for the non-deposit liabilities, funds are collected through medium and long-term instruments. The liquidity risk that may arise 
from this liability structure can be easily controlled through deposit continuity, as well as widespread network of the correspondent banks, market maker 
status (The Parent Bank is one of the market maker banks) and by the use of liquidity facilities of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). As 
a result, the liquidity of the Group and the banking system can be easily monitored. On the other hand, foreign currency liquidity requirements are met by 
the money market operations and currency swaps.

Most of the funds collected bear fixed-interest, and by closely monitoring the developments in the sector, both fixed and floating rate placements are 
made based on the yields of alternative investment instruments.

Some of the fixed interest liabilities that are issued/used by the Group companies are subject to fair value hedge accounting. The fair value risk of the related 
fixed interest financial liabilities is protected by interest rate swaps. Explanations on hedge accounting are explained in Section Three, footnote IV.2.

The principle of safety is prioritized in placement works, placements are directed to high yield and low risk assets by considering their maturity 
structures, while taking global and national economic expectations, market conditions, expectations and tendencies of current and potential loan 
customers, interest rate, liquidity, currency risks and etc, into consideration.  In long term placements, a pricing policy aiming at high return is applied in 
general and attention is paid to maximizing non-interest income generation opportunities. In addition, the Bank and its subsidiaries within the scope of 
consolidation act in parallel with these strategies and within the legal limits in management of Financial Statements.

The primary objectives related to balance sheet components are set by the long-term plans shaped along with budgeting; and the Parent Bank takes the 
required positions against the short-term currency, interest rates and price fluctuations in accordance with these plans and the course of the market conditions.

Foreign currency, interest rate and price fluctuations in the markets are monitored instantaneously. While taking positions, in addition to the legal limits, 
the Parent Bank’s own transaction and control limits are also effectively monitored in order to avoid limit overrides. 

The Parent Bank’s asset-liability management is executed by the Asset-Liability Management Committee, within the risk limits determined by the Board 
of Directors, in order to keep the liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit risk within certain limits depending on the equity adequacy and to 
maximize profitability.

2.  Foreign Currency Transactions

The financial statements of the Parent Bank’s branches and financial institutions that have been established abroad are prepared in functional currency 
prevailing in the economic environment that they operate in; and when they are consolidated, they are presented in TL, which are the functional currency 
of the Parent Bank and also the currency used in presentation of the financial statements. 

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are converted into Turkish Lira by using the prevailing exchange rates at the 
balance sheet date. Non-monetary items in foreign currencies carried at fair value are converted into Turkish Lira by the rates at the date of which the fair 
value is determined. Exchange rate differences arising from the conversions of monetary foreign currency items and the collections of and payments in 
foreign currency transactions are reflected to the income statement. 

While the Parent Bank and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş. one of the consolidated subsidiaries, use their own foreign currency exchange rates for 
their foreign currency transactions, other consolidated institutions residing domestically use the CBRT rates for their foreign currency transactions.

Assets and liabilities of the foreign branches of the Parent Bank and financial institutions that have been established abroad are converted into TL by 
using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses of foreign branches are converted by at exchange rates at the dates 
of the transactions. Incomes and expenses of foreign financial institutions are converted into TL at average foreign currency rates of the balance sheet 
date as long as there is not a significant fluctuation in currency rates during the period. The exchange rate differences arising from the conversion to TL 
are recognized in the shareholders’ equity.

III. 

Information on the Consolidated Companies

1.  Basis of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the procedures and principles listed in the “Communiqué Related to 
Regulation on the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks” published in the Official Gazette numbered 26340 dated November 
8, 2006.

a.  Subsidiaries:

A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Parent.

Control; is the power of the Parent Bank to appoint or remove from office the decision-taking majority of members of board of directors through direct 
or indirect possession of the majority of a legal person’s capital irrespective of the requirement of owning minimum fifty-one per cent of its capital; or by 
having control over the majority of the voting right as a consequence of holding privileged shares or of agreements with other shareholders although not 
owning the majority of capital.

As per the “Communiqué Related to the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks” published in the Official Gazette numbered 26340 
dated November 8, there is no subsidiary or financial institution that is not included in the scope of consolidation as of the current period. Detailed 
information about the Bank’s subsidiaries related to credit and financial institution is given in Section Five Note I.i.3

Under full consolidation method, the assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and off-balance sheet items of subsidiaries are combined with the 
equivalent items of the Parent Bank. The book value of the Parent Bank's investment in each of the subsidiaries and the Group’s portion of equity of 
each subsidiary are eliminated. All significant transactions and balances between consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated reciprocally. Non-controlling 
interests in the net period profit/loss and in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries are calculated separately from the Group’s net period profit/loss and 
the Group’s shareholders' equity. Non-controlling interests are presented separately in the balance sheet and in the period profit/loss statement.

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Bank performed necessary corrections to ensure consistency of accounting policies used by 
consolidated subsidiaries. On the other hand, insurance companies under consolidation are obliged to carry their activities in accordance with the 
regulations and other legislations issued by Republic of Turkey Ministry t of Treasury and Finance and in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements, financial reporting presentations of these companies are maintained in accordance with the insurance legislation.

TFRS 3 “Business Combinations” standard prescribes no depreciation to be recognized for goodwill arising on the acquisitions on or after March 31, 
2004, realizing positive goodwill as an asset and application of impairment analysis as of balance sheet dates. In the same standard, it is also required 
from that date onwards that the negative goodwill, which occurs in the case of the Group’s interest in the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and 
liabilities exceeds the acquisition cost to be recognized in profit or loss. 

In the prior period, positive consolidation goodwill amounting to TL 27,994 resulting from the acquisition of Moka Payment and Electronic Para 
Organization Inc. is included in the consolidated financial statements.

The structured entity that is established within the Bank’s securitization loan transactions are included in the consolidated financial statement although 
the bank does not have any subsidiaries.

b.  Associates: 

V. 

Interest Income and Expenses

An associate is a domestic or foreign entity which the Parent Bank participates in its capital and over which it has a significant influence but no control.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy of the investee. If the Parent Bank holds qualified shares in the 
associate, it is presumed that the Parent Bank has significant influence unless otherwise demonstrated. A substantial or majority ownership by another 
investor does not necessarily preclude the Parent Bank from having significant influence.

Interest income is calculated by using the effective interest rate method (the rate that equals the future cash flows of a financial asset or liability to its 
present net book value) to gross carrying amount of financial asset in conformity with “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments” except financial asset that is not a 
purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset but subsequently has become credit-impaired.

Under the scope of TFRS 9 application, the Group does not reverse the interest accruals and rediscounts of non-performing loans and other receivables 
and monitors the related amounts under interest income and calculates expected credit loss on these amounts according to the related methodology.

Qualified share is the share that directly or indirectly constitutes ten or more than ten percent of an entity’s capital or voting rights and irrespective of this 
requirement, possession of privileged shares giving right to appoint members of board of directors.

VI. 

Fees and Commission Income and Expenses

Equity method is a method of accounting whereby the book value of the investor’s share capital in the subsidiary or the joint venture is either added to 
or subtracted in proportion with investor’s share from the change in the subsidiary’s or joint venture’s equity within the period. The method also foresees 
that profit will be deducted from the subsidiaries’ or joint venture’s accordingly recalculated value.

Arap-Türk Bankası A.Ş. is a subsidiary of the Bank acting as a credit institution or financial institution, is accounted under the equity method in the 
consolidated financial statements according to the "Communiqué on the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements”. Accounting policies of Arap 
Türk Bankası A.Ş. are not different than the Parent Bank’s accounting policies. Detailed information about Arap Türk Bankası A.Ş. is given in Section Five 
Note I.h.2.

c.  Jointly controlled entities:

A joint venture is an agreement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than 
rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. 

The Bank does not have any jointly controlled entities which are credit or financial institutions in nature and to be consolidated in the financial statements 
by the equity method according to the “Regulation on Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks”.

d.  Principles applied during share transfer, merger and acquisition: 

None.

Wages and commissions those that are not an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost are 
accounted for in accordance with "TFRS 15 - Revenue from Customer Contracts". Fees and commission income and expenses are recognized either 
on accrual basis or by using the effective interest method. Income earned in return for services rendered contractually or due to operations like sale or 
purchase of assets on behalf of a third-party real person or corporate body are recognized in income accounts in the period of collection.

VII. 

Financial Assets 

The Bank and its companies within the scope of “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments”, classifies and accounts its financial assets as “Financial Assets at Fair 
Value Through Profit or Loss”, “Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets at Measured at Amortized 
Cost” by taking into account their business model and contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are recognized or derecognized according 
to TFRS 9 “Recognition and Derecognition in Statement of Financial Position” requirements. Financial asset is recognized in the statement of financial 
position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are measured at their fair value on initial 
recognition in the financial statements.

The Group has three different business models for classification of financial assets; 

 ੵ Business model aimed at holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows: Financial assets held under the mentioned business model 
are managed to collect contractual cash flows over the life of these assets. The Group manages its assets held under this portfolio in order to collect 
certain contractual cash flows.

 ੵ Business model aimed at collecting contracted cash flows of financial assets and selling; in this business model, the Group intends both to collect

statements:

The subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities which are not credit or financial institutions owned by the Bank and its subsidiaries are 
accounted accordingly to the equity method described in TAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”.

IV. 

Forward, Option Contracts and Derivative Instruments

Derivative transactions of the Group consist of foreign currency and interest rate swaps, forwards, foreign currency options and interest rate options. The 
Group has no derivative instruments decomposed from the main contract.

 ੵ Other business models; A business model in which financial assets; are not held within the scope of a business model aimed at collection of 

contractual cash flows and within the scope of a business model aimed at collecting and selling contracted cash flows, are measured by reflecting fair 
value in profit or loss.

The Group is able to reclassify all affected financial assets in case it changes the business model that is used for the management of financial asset.

In the event of the termination of the rights related to the cash flows from a financial asset, the transfer of all risks and rewards of the financial asset to a 
significant extent or has no longer control of the financial assets, the financial asset is derecognized.

The Group classifies derivative products “Derivative Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” or ‘’Derivative Financial Instruments 
through Other Comprehensive Income’’ according to the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” principles.

1.  Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

1.   Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative transactions are recorded at their fair values as of the date of the contract and receivables and payables arising from these transactions are 
recorded in off-balance sheet accounts. Derivative transactions are measured at their fair values in the reporting periods after their recognition and if 
the valuation difference is positive, difference is presented under the “Derivative Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” and if the valuation 
difference is negative, then it is presented under the “Derivative Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”. The differences arising from the 
valuation of derivative transactions are associated with the income statement.

On off-balance sheet items table, options which generated assets for the Group are presented under “call options” line and which generated liabilities 
are presented under “put options” line.

2.  Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” rules that TAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” value hedge accounting may continue to be 
implemented to hedge the fair value changes against interest rate risk. In this context, the principles of TAS 39 regarding hedge accounting for fair value 
hedge accounting continue to be applied in the accompanying financial statements.

Interest rate swaps are performed in order to hedge the changes in fair value of fixed interest rate financial instruments.

In this context, if the valuation differences of the derivative transactions are positive, they are included in “Derivative financial assets at Fair Value through 
Profit or Loss” and if the valuation differences are negative, they are included in “Derivative Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss”. 
Changes in the fair value of the fixed rate financial liabilities subject to hedge accounting and changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps as hedging 
instruments are recorded under “Trading Profit/Loss” in the income statement.

At the beginning of the hedging transaction and in each reporting period, it is expected that the hedging transaction will offset the changes in the 
hedged risk arising from the hedged transaction (related to the hedged risk) and effectiveness tests are performed in this context. Efficiency tests are 
carried out with the “Dollar off-set method” and the hedging accounting is continued if the efficiency is between 80% and 125%.

The hedge accounting is terminated if the hedging instrument is terminated, realized, sold or the effectiveness test is ineffective. In the case of 
termination of fair value hedge accounting, the valuation effects of the fair value hedge accounting applied on the hedged financial instruments is 
reflected to the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the life of the hedged financial instrument.

Financial assets except financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value 
through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for the purpose of generating profit from short-term 
fluctuations in price or similar factors in the market or being part of a portfolio for profitability in the short term, regardless of the acquisition reason or 
financial assets that are not held in a business model that aims at collecting and/or selling contractual cash flows of financial assets.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value on the balance sheet and are subsequently re-measured at fair 
value. Gains or losses arising from the valuation are related to profit and loss accounts.

In some cases, restructuring, alteration or counterparty changes of contractual cash flows of loans may lead to derecognition of related loans in 
accordance with TFRS 9. When the change in the financial asset results from derecognizing the existing financial asset from the financial statements 
and the revised financial asset is recognized in the financial statements, the revised financial asset is considered as a new financial asset in accordance 
with TFRS 9. When it is determined that there are significant changes between the new conditions of the revised financial asset and the first conditions 
in related agreements, the Group evaluates the new financial asset according to the current business models. When it is determined that the contractual 
conditions do not only result in cash flows that include principal and interest payments at certain dates, the financial asset is recognized at fair value and 
is subject to valuation. The differences arising from the valuation are reflected in the nominal accounts.

The Group recognizes loans at fair value through profit or loss, if the contractual terms of the loan, do not result in cash flows including the principal 
payments and interest payments generated from principal amounts at certain dates. These loans are valued at their fair values after their recognition and 
the losses or gains arising from the valuation are included in the profit and loss accounts.

2.  Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income:

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets that are held under a business model that aims both to collect 
contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets, and financial assets with contractual terms that lead to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principle amount outstanding at specific dates.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognized at their fair value including their transaction costs on the 
financial statements. The initial recognition and subsequent valuation of such financial assets, including the transaction costs, are carried out on a fair 
value basis and the difference between amortized cost and the cost of borrowing instruments is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest 
method. Dividend income arising from investments in equity instruments that are classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income is also 
recognized in income statements.

for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Gains and losses, except impairment gain or loss and foreign exchange gain or loss, arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value 
through other comprehensive income are reflected to other comprehensive income until derecognized or reclassified. When the value of the financial 
asset is collected or financial asset is disposed, the related fair value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the profit/loss 
statement.

During the initial introduction to financial statements, amendments to the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument within the framework of 
TFRS 9 that are not held for trading or that are not valued in a financial statement of an entity that acquires business combinations under the “TFRS 3 
Business Combinations” may be subject to an irreversible preference regarding these amendments being accounted in other comprehensive income. In 
such case, dividends taken from mentioned investment will be accounted in financial statement as profit or loss.

3.  Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are those financial assets that are held within the framework of a business model aimed at collecting 
contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and which result in cash flows that include principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding at 
specific dates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost with the initial recognition at fair value including transaction costs are subject to valuation 
with their discounted cost value by using the effective interest rate method, after eliminating any provision for impairment if there is any. Interest income 
measured by using the effective interest rate method are recognized in the income statement as an “interest income”.  

The Bank and subsidiaries evaluate their loans within the framework of current business models and depending on these evaluations, they can be 
classified as Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost.

On the other hand, the Parent Bank’s securities portfolio includes consumer price indexed government bonds classified (CPI) as financial assets at 
fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and financial assets measured at amortized cost. In 
the valuation of mentioned securities, the realized CPI index announced by TURKSTAT, and the estimated inflation curve created by using the “Annual 
CPI Expectation for the Next 12 Months” in the CBRT Market Participants Survey is used. The future cash flows of the securities are estimated by the 
previously mentioned inflation data and the valuation is made according to the effective interest method within the framework of reference index formula 
given by the CPI Indexed Bonds Investor’s Guide of the Undersecretariat of Treasury. 

The Parent Bank also holds consumer price indexed government bonds (“CPI”) in its securities portfolio, reclassified as financial assets measured at fair 
value through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortised 
cost. In the valuation of the mentioned securities, the estimated inflation curve created by using the CPI index announced by Turkish Statistical Institute 
(“TÜİK”) and the “Annual CPI Expectation After 12 Months” from the CBRT Market Participants Survey is used. Future cash flows of securities are 
estimated by using the mentioned inflation data and valuation is made according to the effective interest method within the framework of the reference 
inflaiton index formula specified in the Undersecretariat of Treasury’s Investor Guide of CPI.

VIII. 

Impairment of Financial Assets

In accordance with the “TFRS 9- Financial Instruments” and the regulation “Procedures and Principals regarding Classification of Loans and Allowances 
Allocated for Such Loans” issued by BRSA, the Bank recognizes expected credit loss allowance on financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive income, financial assets measured at amortized cost, impaired credit commitments and financial guarantee contracts.

Within the scope of TFRS 9, the expected credit loss is calculated according to the “three-stage” impairment model based on the change in the loan 
quality of financial assets after the initial recognition and detailed in the following headings:

While estimating the expected credit loss, statistical models, methods and tools are used in accordance with the relevant legislation and accounting 
standards. Expected credit loss is measured using reasonable and supportable information by taking current and forecasts of future economic 
information into consideration, including macroeconomic factors. Three scenarios, base scenario, optimistic scenario and the worst scenario, are used 
in forecasting studies made by macroeconomic models. The variables used in these macroeconomic estimates include Industrial Production Index, 
Employment Ratio and Credit Default Swap indicators. The validity of the risk parameter estimates used in the calculation of expected credit losses is 
reviewed and evaluated at least annually within the framework of model validation processes. Macroeconomic forecasts and risk delinquency data used 
in risk parameter models are re-evaluated every quarter to reflect the changes in economic conjuncture and are updated if needed. In the expected 
credit loss calculations, macroeconomic information is taken into account under multiple scenarios.In this framework, necessary updates were made 
in 2022. Except for demand or revolving loans, the maximum period for which expected credit losses are to be determined is the contractual life of the 
financial asset. For demand or revolving loans, maturity is determined by taking the future risk mitigation processes into account such as behavioral 
maturity analyses performed by the Bank and cancellation/revision of the Bank’s credit limit.

While calculating the expected credit loss, aside from assessment of whether there is a significant increase in credit risk or not, basic parameters 
expressed as probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default are used.

Probability of Default: Represents the probability of default on the loan over a specified time period. In this context, the Bank has developed models 
to calculate 12-month and life-time default probabilities by using internal rating based credit rating models. As for the Group Companies historical 
probability of default data has also been observed.

Loss Given Default (LGD): Defined as the damage caused by the default of borrower to the total balance of the exposure at the time of default. The 
LGD estimates are determined in terms of credit risk groups that are detailed in the Bank’s data resources and system facilities. The model used for the 
estimation of the LGD was established by taking into account the direct cost items during the collection process based on the historical data of the 
Bank’s collection, and cash flows are discounted at effective interest rates.

Exposure at Default: For cash loans, the cash balance at the date of report, for non-cash loans the balance calculated using the Credit Conversion 
Factor (CCF) is represented by Exposure at Default.

Credit Conversion Factor: It is calculated for non-cash loans (undrawn limit for revolving loans, commitments, non-cash loans etc.) The historical limit 
usage data of the Bank for revolving loans are analyzed and the limit amount that can be used until the moment of default is estimated. For non-cash 
loans, the cash conversion ratio of the loan amount is estimated by analyzing the product type and the past compensation amount of the Group.

Credit risks, which require qualitative assessments due to their characteristics and differ followed by grouping in this manner, are considered as individual 
within the internal policies. Calculations are made by the method of discounted cash flows with the effective interest rate expected from the relevant 
financial instrument. Discounted cash flows are estimated for 3 different scenarios in which parameters are differentiated, and individual expected credit 
loss is calculated by taking into consideration the cash deficit amounts weighted according to probabilities.

As mentioned above, the Bank allocated expected credit losses by reflecting additional provisions through individual assessments performed for the 
customers that operates in sectors where the impact might be high in accordance with the Bank’s risk policies.

Expected credit loss is reflected in the income statement. Released provisions in the current year are accounted under “Expected Credit Loss Expenses” 
and released provision which is carried from the prior year are accounted under “Other Operating Income”.

Receivables evidenced through the Legal Process that collection is not possible can be written-off by fulfilling the requirements of the Tax Procedure 
Law. Besides, loans for which specific provision is allocated and for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery might be written-off.

Stage 1:

IX. 

Offsetting Financial Instruments

An important determinant for calculating the expected credit loss in accordance with TFRS 9 is to assess whether there is a significant increase in the 
credit risk of the financial asset. Financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition are monitored 
in the stage 1. Impairment for credit risk for the Stage 1 financial assets is equal to the 12-month expected credit losses.   

Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset and the net amount shall be presented in the balance sheet only when a party currently has 
a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts or intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously.

Stage 2:

Financial assets that experienced a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition, are transferred to Stage 2. The expected credit loss of 
these financial assets are measured at an amount equal to the instrument’s lifetime expected credit loss. 
In order to classify a financial asset in the Stage 2, the following criteria is considered:
 ੵ Overdue between 30-90 days
 ੵ Restructuring of the loan
 ੵ Significant deterioration in the probability of default

In case of a significant deterioration in the probability of default, the credit risk is considered to be increased significantly and the financial asset is 
classified as stage 2. The absolute and gradual thresholds used to increase the probability of default are differentiated on the basis of portfolio and 
product group. In this manner, for the commercial portfolio, definition of increase in the probability of default is the comparison between the probability 
of default on loan’s opening date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on internal rating and probability of default of the same loan on 
reporting date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on internal rating. For the individual portfolio, it is accepted that the probability of default 
is worsened in cases where the behavioral score falls below the thresholds determined on the basis of the product and the probability of default exceeds 
the thresholds determined on the basis of the product.

Stage 3:

Financial assets with sufficient and fair information for impairment at the reporting date, are classified in the third stage. Expected credit loss of these 
financial assets is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss. The following basic factors are considered for the classification of a 
financial asset in the stage 3.

 ੵ More than 90 days past due

 ੵ Whether the credit rating is weakened, has suffered a significant weakness or cannot be collected or there is a certain opinion on this matter

X. 

Sale and Repurchase Agreements and Securities Lending Transactions

Marketable securities subject to repurchase agreements are classified under “Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”, “Financial Assets 
at Fair Value through Other Compre hensive Income” or “Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost” in the portfolio and they are valued according to 
the valuation principles of the related portfolios. 

Funds obtained from the repurchase agreements are recognized under “Funds from Repurchase Transactions” account in liabilities. For the difference 
between the sale and repurchase prices determined by the repo agreements for the period; expense accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate 
method.

Reverse repo transactions are recognized under the “Receivables from Reverse Repo Transactions” account. For the difference between the purchase 
and resale prices determined by the reverse repo agreements for the period, income accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate method.

Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the scope of “TFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued 
Operations” are measured at the lower one of their fair value and their carrying amount which from the costs to sell are deducted and presented 
separately within the financial statements. In order to classify a tangible fixed asset as held for sale, the asset (or the disposal group) should be available 
for an immediate sale in its present condition subject to the terms of any regular sales of such assets (or such disposal groups) and the sale should be 
highly probable. For a highly probable sale, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or the disposal group), 
and an active programme to complete the plan should be initiated to locate a customer. Also, the asset (or the disposal group) should have an active 
market sale value, which is a reasonable value in relation to its current fair value. Events or circumstances may extend the completion of the sale more 
than one year. Such assets are still classified as held for sale if there is sufficient evidence that the delay in the sale process is due to the events and 
circumstances occurred beyond the control of the entity or the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset (or disposal group).

A discontinued operation is a component of a group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Gains or losses relating to 
discontinued operations are presented separately in the income statement.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Group’s intangible assets consist of consolidation goodwill, software programs and rights.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of Group’s share of the identifiable 
assets, liabilities, or contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition of the control. Goodwill is recognized as an asset at cost and 
then carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In impairment-loss test, goodwill is allocated between the Group’s every cash-generating unit 
that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. To control whether there is an impairment loss in the cash-generating units 
that goodwill is allocated, impairment- loss test is applied every year or more often if there are indications of impairment loss. In the cases, recoverable 
amount of cash-generating unit is smaller than its book value; impairment loss is firstly used in reduction of book value of the cash-generating unit, 
and then the other assets proportionally. Goodwill which is allocated for the impairment losses could not be reversed. When a subsidiary is to be sold, 
related goodwill amount is combined with the profit/loss relating to this disposal. Positive goodwill arising from the Group’s investments in its subsidiaries 
is recognized in “Intangible Assets”. Explanations on consolidation goodwill are given in Section Three, Note III.1.a.As for other intangible assets, the 
purchased items are presented with their acquisition costs less the accumulated amortization and impairment provisions. In case there is an indication of 
impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of TAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” and impairment 
provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition cost. The related assets are amortized by the straight-line method 
considering their estimated useful life. The amortization method and period are periodically reviewed at the end of each year.

XIII. 

Tangible Assets 

The Bank and Group companies follow their real estates in use, which are recorded under tangible fixed assets, according to the revaluation model within 
the framework of "TAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment" since 2015. The positive difference between the net book value of real estate property 
values and the renewed expertise values which are determined by the licensed valuation in 2022 companies are recorded under the shareholders’ 
equity. 

In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of “TAS 36 – 
Impairment of Assets” and impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition cost.

Tangible assets other than the land and construction in progress are amortized by the straight-line method, according to their estimated useful lives. The 
estimated useful life, residual amount and the method of amortization are reviewed every year for the possible effects of the changes that occur in the 
estimates and if there is any change in the estimates, they are recognized prospectively.

Assets held under finance lease are depreciated over the expected useful life of the related assets. 

Assets subject to leasing are depreciated according to relevant contract periods.

Leasehold improvements are amortized in equal amounts considering their useful life. However, in any case the useful life cannot exceed leasing term. 
When the lease period is not certain or longer than 5 years, the amortization period is recognized as 5 years.

The difference between the sales proceeds arising from the disposal of tangible assets or the inactivation of tangible asset and the book value of the 
tangible assets are recognized in the profit and loss accounts.

Regular maintenance and repair cost incurred for tangible assets are recognized as expense.  

There are no pledges, mortgages and similar encumbrances on tangible assets.

The “Regulation on Procedures and Principles for the Trading of Precious Metals by Banks and the Disposal of Commodities and Real Properties 
acquired by Banks due to their Receivables” has been abolished by BRSA effective from January 1, 2017. Real properties acquired by Group due to their 
receivables and not treated in the scope of “TFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" has been started to follow under 
“Other Assets” in accordance with the related accounting standard from the current period. 

The depreciation rates used in amortization of tangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings
Safe Boxes
Other Movables

XIV. 

Investment Property

Investment properties are kind of properties held by the Group to earn rent income or benefit from valuation surplus. The investment properties of the 
Group are measured at their fair values in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with “TAS 40 Investment Property”. Any gains or losses 
arising from changes in fair values of investment properties are recognised in “Other Operating Incomes” and “Other Operating Expenses” for the related 
period.

XV. 

Leasing Transactions

Assets acquired through financial leases are carried at the lower of their fair values or amortized value of the lease payments. Leasing payables are 
recognized as liabilities in the balance sheet while the interest payable portion of the payables is recognized as a deferred amount of interest. Finance 
lease payments are separated as financial expense and principal amount payment, which provides a decrease in finance lease liability, thus helps a fixed 
rate interest on the remaining principal amount of the debt to be calculated. 

Within the context of the consolidation general borrowing policy, financial expenses are recognized in the income statement. Assets held under financial 

leases are recognized under the tangible assets account and are depreciated by using the straight line method. There is one company which exclusively 
does finance leases (İş Finansal Kiralama A.Ş.) and one bank (Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş.) which operates finance lease activities as per 
provisional article No 4 of the Banking Law No 5411. Finance lease activities are operated according to the “Law on Financial Leasing. Factoring and 
Financing” No 6361.

The Bank and the Companies in scope of consolidation have accounted for recognized operating leases in accordance with the TFRS 16 "leases" 
standard. Operating leases within the framework of the aforementioned standard are monitored in a similar manner to financial leases. For the 
agreements within the scope of TFRS 16, the right-of-use-asset and the lease payments are reflected to the financial statements and they are presented 
under "Tangible Assets" and "Liabilities from Financial Leases", respectively. The lease liability is calculated by discounting the future lease payments by 
the use of the Banks or alternative borrowing interest rates at the date of initial application or contract date. Fixed assets, which are accounted as right-
of-use assets, are subject to depreciation considering the period of the contract. Interest expenses and foreign exchange differences related to the lease 
liabilities are associated with profit and loss statement. 

XVI. 

Insurance Technical Income and Expensealar

In insurance companies, premium income is obtained after diminishing the shares transferred from arranged policy income to reassurer. 

Claims are recorded in expense on accrual basis. Outstanding loss provisions are recognized for the claims reported but not paid yet and for the claims 
that incurred but not reported. Reassurer’ shares of outstanding and paid claims are offset in these provisions.

XVII. 

Insurance Technical Provisions

TFRS 4 “Insurance Standards” requires that all contracts issued by insurance companies be classified as either insurance contracts or investment 
contracts. Contracts with significant insurance risk are considered insurance contracts. Insurance risk is defined as risk, other than financial risk, 
transferred from the holder of a contract to the issuer. Contracts issued by insurance companies without significant insurance risk are considered 
investment contracts. Investment contracts are accounted for in accordance with TAS 39 “Turkish Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement”.

Within the framework of the current insurance regulation, insurance technical provisions accounted by insurance companies for unearned premium 
claims, unexpired risk reserves, outstanding claims and life-mathematical reserves are presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Unearned premium reserve is recognized on accrued premiums without discount or commission which extends to the next period or periods on a daily 
basis for the current insurance contracts.

In case the expected loss premium ratio is over 95%, the unexpired risk reserves are recognized for the main branches specified by the Undersecretariat 
of Treasury. For each main branch, the amount found by multiplying the ratio exceeding 95% by the net unearned premium provision, is added to the 
unearned premium provision of that main branch. 

If the outstanding claim reserve is established and confirmed by approximation and if there are unpaid or unidentified compensation amounts in both 
prior and current accounting periods; it is separated for estimated yet unreported compensation amounts. 

Mathematical reserve is recognized on actuarial bases in order to meet the requirements of policyholders and beneficiaries for life, health and personal 
accident insurance contracts for a period longer than a year.

On the other hand, actuarial chain ladder method is used to estimate the reserve amount to be set aside in the current period by looking at the data of 
the past materialized losses. If the reserve amount found as a result of this method exceeds the amount of reserve for the amount of uncertain indemnity, 
additional reserve must be set aside for the difference.

Reinsurance companies recognize for the outstanding claims that is declared by the companies, accrued and determined on account.

Insurance companies of the Group cede premium and risks in the normal course of business in order to limit the potential for losses arising from risks 
accepted. Insurance premiums ceded to reinsurers on contracts that are deemed to transfer significant insurance risk are recognized as an expense in a 
manner that is consistent with the recognition of insurance premium revenue arising from the underlying risks being protected.

Costs which vary and are directly associated with the acquisition of insurance and reinsurance contracts including brokerage, commissions, 
underwriting expenses and other acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the period of contract, consistent with the earning of premium.

XVIII.  Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

As of the end of the reporting period, a past event is deemed to give rise to a present obligation if, taking account of all available evidence, it is more likely 
than not that a present obligation exists, the entity recognizes a provision in the financial statements. As of the end of the reporting period where it is 
more likely that no present obligation exists at the end of the reporting period, the entity discloses a contingent liability on footnotes unless the possibility 
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

In the financial statements, a provision is made for an existing commitment resulted from past events if it is probable that the commitment will be settled 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are calculated based on the reliable estimates of management of the Parent Bank and subsidiaries on the expenses to incur as of the balance 
sheet date to fulfill the liability by considering the risks and uncertainties related to the liability. In case the provision is measured by using the estimated 
cash flows required to fulfill the existing liability, the book value of the related liability is equal to the present value of the related cash flows.

If the amount is not reliably estimated and there is no probability of cash outflow from the Group to settle the liability, the related liability is considered as 
“contingent” and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

XIX.  XIX. Contingent Assets

The contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the 
Parent Bank and the Group. Since showing the contingent assets in the financial statements may result in the accounting of an income, which will never 
be generated, the related assets are not included in the financial statements, but if there is a possibility that an inflow of economic benefits of these 
assets may occur then it is explained in the footnotes of the financial statements. Nevertheless, the developments related to the contingent assets are 
constantly evaluated and if it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized 
in the financial statements of the period in which the change occurs.

XX. 

Liabilities Regarding Employee Benefits

1.  Severance Indemnities and Short-Term Employee Benefits

According to the related regulation and the collective bargaining agreements, the Parent Bank and consolidated Group companies (excluding the 
subsidiaries residing outside Turkey) are obliged to pay termination benefits for employees who retire, die, quit for their military service obligations, 
who have been dismissed as defined in the related regulation or (for the female employees) who have voluntarily quit within one year after the date 
of their marriage. Within the scope of TAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, the Parent Bank allocates severence indemnity provisions for employee benefits 
by estimating the present value of the probable future liabilities. According to TAS 19, all actuarial gains and losses occurred are recognized under 
shareholders’ equity. As the legislations of the countries in which the Parent Bank’s non-resident subsidiaries operate do not require retirement pay 
provision, no provision liability has been recognized for the related companies. In addition, provision is also allocated for the unused paid vacation.

2.  Retirement Benefit Obligations

İşbank Pension Fund (Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Emekli Sandığı Vakfı), of which each employee of the Parent Bank is a member, has been established 
according to the provisional Article 20 of the Social Security Act No 506. As per provisional article numbered 23 of the Banking Law numbered 5411, it 
is ruled that Bank pension funds, which were established within the framework of Social Security Act, will be transferred to the Social Security Institution, 
within 3 years after the publication of such law. Methods and principles related to transfer have been determined as per the Cabinet decision dated 30 
November 2006 numbered 2006/11345. However, the related article of the act has been cancelled upon the President’s application dated November 2, 
2005, by the Supreme Court’s decision dated March 22, 2007. Nr.E.2005/39. K.2007/33, which was published on the Official Gazette dated March 31, 
2007 and numbered 26479 and the execution decision was ceased as of the issuance date of the related decision.

After the justified decree related to cancelling the provisional Article 23 of the Banking Law was announced by the Constitutional Court on the Official 
Gazette dated December 15, 2007 and numbered 26731. Turkish Grand National Assembly started to work on establishing new legal regulations, and 
after it was approved at the General Assembly of the TGNA, the Law numbered 5754 “Emendating Social Security and General Health Insurance Act 
and Certain Laws and Decree Laws”, which was published on the Official Gazette dated May 8, 2008 and numbered 26870, came into effect. The new 
law decrees that the contributors of the Bank pension funds, the ones who receive salaries or income from these funds and their rightful beneficiaries 
will be transferred to the Social Security Institution and will be subject to this Law within 3 years after the release date of the related article, without any 
need for further operation.  The three-year transfer period can be prolonged for maximum 2 years by the Cabinet decision. 

However related transfer period has been prolonged for 2 years by the Cabinet decision dated, March 14, 2011. which was published on the Official 
Gazette dated April 9, 2011 and numbered 27900, In addition, by the Law “Emendating Social Security and General Health Insurance Act”, which was 
published on the Official Gazette dated March 8, 2012 and numbered 28227, this period of 2 years has been raised to 4 years after that related transfer 
period has been prolonged for one more year by the Cabinet decision dated April 8, 2013, which was published on the Official Gazette dated May 3, 
2013 and numbered 28636 also this period has revalidated one more year by the Cabinet decision dated February 24, 2014, which was published on 
the Official Gazette dated April 30, 2014 and numbered 28987. 

The Council of Ministers has been lastly authorized to determine the transfer date in accordance with the last amendment in the first paragraph of the 
20th provisional article of Law No.5510 implemented by the Law No. 6645 on Amendment of the “Occupational Health and Safety Law and Other Laws 
and Decree Laws” published in the Official Gazette dated April 23, 2015 and numbered 29335. This authority was transferred to the President with the 
delegated legislation No.703 which published in the repetitive Official Gazette No. 30473 dated July 9, 2018. 

On the other hand, the application made on June 19, 2008 by the Republican People’s Party to the Constitutional Court for the annulment and motion 
for stay of some articles, including the first paragraph of the provisional article 20 of the Law, which covers provisions on transfers, was rejected in 
accordance with the decision taken at the meeting of the afore-mentioned court on March 30, 2011..

The above mentioned Law also states that; 

 ੵ Through a commission constituted by the attendance of one representative separately from the Social Security Institution, Ministry of Finance, Turkish 
Treasury, State Planning Organization. Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency. Savings Deposit Insurance Fund, one from each pension fund, and 
one representative from the organization employing pension fund contributors, related to the transferred persons, the cash value of the liabilities of the 
pension fund as of the transfer date will be calculated by considering their income and expenses in terms of the lines of insurance within the context of 
the related Law, and technical interest rate of 9.8% will be used in the actuarial calculation of the value in cash

 ੵ And that after the transfer of the pension fund contributors, the ones who receive salaries or income from these funds and their rightful beneficiaries to 
the Social Security Institution, these persons’ uncovered social rights and payments, despite being included in the trust indenture that they are subject 
to, will be continued to be covered by the pension funds and the employers of pension fund contributors. 

In line with the new law, the Bank obtained a technical actuarial valuation report from a licensed actuary for the year ended December 31, 2022. In 
related period’s financial statements, Bank provided full provision for the total amount of technical and actual deficit stated in the actuarial report of 
the aforementioned period The actuarial assumptions used in the related actuarial report are given in Section Five Note II-h-4-1. Besides the Parent 
Bank; Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta Şirketi, Milli Reasürans T.A.Ş. and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş. also had actuarial valuations as of December 
31, 2022 for their pension funds. The provision amount of actuarial and technical deficit, which was measured according to actuarial report of Milli 
Reasürans T.A.Ş., is added in the financial statements for the current period. According to actuarial report of Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta Şirketi and 
Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası, there is not any additional operational or actuarial liability.

İşbank Members’ Supplementary Pension Fund has been founded by the Parent Bank to provide beneficiaries with additional social security and 
solidarity rights to compulsory social security benefits as per the provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish Civil Code. Those are also valid 
for the supplementary pension funds of the employees of Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta Şirketi, Milli Reasürans T.A.Ş. and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası 
A.Ş. which are among the other financial institutions of the Group.

XXI. 

Taxation

1.  Corporate Tax:

Turkish tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiary to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore, provisions for taxes, as reflected in 
the accompanying consolidated financial statements, have been calculated on a separate-entity basis.

In accordance with the Provisional Article 13 added to the Corporate Tax Law Numbered 5520 with the Law Numbered 7316, the 20% rate foreseen 
in the calculation of the corporate tax for the corporate earnings of the 2021 taxation period is determined as 25% (starting from the declarations to be 
submitted as of July 1, 2021 and to be valid for the corporate earnings for the taxation period starting from January 1, 2021), and as 23% for the corporate 
earnings for the 2022 taxation period. On the other hand, in accordance with the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law with the Law 
No. 7394 published in the Official Gazette dated 15.04.2022 and numbered 31810, the corporate tax rate should start from the declarations that must 
be submitted as of 01.07.2022 and taxation starting from 01.01.2022. It has been determined as 25% to be valid for the corporate earnings of the period. 
The Group has calculated deferred tax using the 25% rate (31 December 2021: 20%, 23% and 25% rates are used). 

As per the Corporate Tax law, temporary tax is calculated and paid quarterly in line with the principles of the Income Tax Law and at the corporate tax 
rate. The temporary tax payments are deducted from the current period’s corporate tax. The 4th provisional tax for the year 2022 will be paid in February 
2023 for to be deducted from the corporate tax of the current taxation period.

Tax provision consists of current tax provision and deferred tax income/expense. The current tax liability is calculated over the portion of the period 
subject to taxation. The taxable profit differs from the profit involved in the statement of profit and loss, as the income and expense items that can be 
taxable or deductible at other periods, and items that are not taxable or deductible are excluded. The current tax amounts payable is netted off with 
prepaid tax amounts and presented on the financial statements.

Within the framework of the Corporate Tax Law numbered 5520, 75% of the gains on the sale of the participation shares, which were held in the assets for 
a minimum of 2 whole years and 75% of the gains on the sale of immovable are exempt from tax provided that they are added to the capital as set forth by 
the Law or that they are kept in a special fund under liabilities for a period of 5 years. However, in accordance with Article 89 / a of the Law No. 7061 and 
Article 5.1.e and Article 5.1.f of the Corporate Tax Law, which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017 and numbered 30261, the 75% 
applied in terms of immovable sales mentioned above has been reduced to 50% which is effective from the date of publication of the Law.

In accordance with the provision of Article 298 / A of the Tax Procedure Law, the necessary conditions for inflation adjustment in the calculation of 
corporate tax as of the end of the 2021 calendar year have been met. However, the application of inflation adjustment in the calculation of corporate tax 
was postponed to 2023 with the regulation made with the "Law on the Amendment of the Tax Procedure Law and the Corporate Tax Law" numbered 
7352 published in the Official Gazette dated 29.01.2022 and numbered 31734. Accordingly, VUK (Tax Procedure Law) financial statements for the 2021 
and 2022 accounting periods, including the provisional tax periods, will not be subject to inflation adjustment, and the 2023 accounting period will not 
be subject to inflation adjustment as of the temporary tax periods. will be subject to inflation adjustment regardless.

2.  Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax asset or liability is determined by calculating the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
in the financial statements and the amounts considered in the legal tax base account, by taking the legal tax rates into account. Deferred tax debts are 
generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will 
be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Free provisions that are allocated for possible future risks and they are not 
subject to deferred tax calculation. No tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the temporary timing difference that affects neither the taxable profit nor 
the accounting profit and that arises from the initial recognition in the balance sheet, of assets and liabilities, other than the goodwill and mergers. The 
Bank calculates deferred tax for the provisions allocated for Stage 1 and Stage 2 expected credit loss.

The carrying values of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient 
taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is measured at enacted tax rates prevailing in the period or about to be enacted when the assets are realized or liabilities are settled, and the 
tax is recognized as income or expense in the income statement. Nonetheless, if the deferred tax is related to assets directly associated with the equity 
in the same or different period, it is directly recognized in the equity accounts. In accordance with the Provisional Article 13 added to the Corporate Tax 
Law Numbered 5520 with the Law Numbered 7316, the 20% rate foreseen in the calculation of the corporate tax for the corporate earnings of the 2021 
taxation period is determined as 25% (starting from the declarations to be submitted as of July 1, 2021 and to be valid for the corporate earnings for the 
taxation period starting from January 1, 2021), and as 23% for the corporate earnings for the 2022 taxation period. On the other hand, in accordance with 
the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law with the Law No. 7394 published in the Official Gazette dated 15.04.2022 and numbered 
31810, the corporate tax rate should start from the declarations that must be submitted as of 01.07.2022 and taxation starting from 01.01.2022. It has 
been determined as 25% to be valid for the corporate earnings of the period. The Bank has calculated deferred tax by using 25% rate considering the 
periods when deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized (December 31, 2021: 20%, 23%, and 25% rates are used). 

Deferred tax assets and liability of the Bank and consolidated companies are shown by way of offsetting in separate financial statements of each entity. 
In the consolidated financial statements, on the other hand, the deferred tax assets and liabilities that come from the companies as offset are separately 
involved in the assets and liabilities.

for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

3.  Tax Practices in the Countries that Foreign Branches Operate:

4.  Transfer Pricing:

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)

In accordance with TRNC tax legislation, 15% income tax is accrued on the remaining tax base after 10% corporate tax is deducted from corporate 
income. The tax bases for companies are determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted according to TRNC regulations, to commercial 
gains and by subtracting exemptions and deductions from commercial gains. Income tax is paid in June, and corporate tax payment is made in two 
equal installments, in May and in October. On the other hand, withholding tax is paid in TRNC over interest income and similar gains of the companies. 
The related withholding tax payments and provisional tax paid every quarter during the year are deducted from corporate tax payable and the difference 
between withholding and provisional tax amounts and corporate tax payable is discounted from income tax provided that the withholding tax and paid 
provisional tax amounts are higher than corporate tax amount.  

England

Corporate earnings are subject to 19% corporate tax in England. The relevant rate is applied to the tax base that is determined by adding the expenses 
that cannot be deducted due to the regulations, to commercial gains and by subtracting exemptions and deductions from commercial gains. In other 
respect, if the tax base calculated in accordance with the country legislation is within a certain range, the temporary corporate tax is paid in July, October 
of the relevant year and in January and April of the following year; If it is over a certain amount, it is paid in 4 installments in March, June, September and 
December of the relevant year.  The corporate tax amount must be finalized and paid by the end of September of the year following the year of profit. In 
case the corporate tax payable as a result of the calculation is below the temporary taxes paid, the difference amount is deducted later or paid back to 
the Branch by the authority.

Bahrain

Banks in Bahrain are not subject to tax according to the regulations of the country. 

The Republic of Iraq (Iraq)

The corporate tax rate in Iraq is 15%, and the corporate tax is paid on a consolidated basis to the tax office of the foreign bank's central branch. The 
first branch established in Iraq is considered as the central branch. Foreign bank branches whose central branch is within the boundaries of the Central 
Government must present their consolidated financial statements and pay accrued tax to the relevant tax office by the end of May of the following year, 
and branches of foreign banks whose central branch is within the boundaries of the Northern Iraq Regional Government must present their financial 
statements and pay accrued tax by the end of June of the following year at the latest. Northern Iraq Regional Government tax offices can accrue fixed 
taxes other than the specified rate and can postpone the due date. 

Kosovo

Corporate earnings are subject to income tax rate of 10% according to the Kosovo legislation. This ratio is applied to the tax base that will be calculated 
as a result of the implementation of exemptions, deductions, addition of disallowable expenses, to the corporate income and that are calculated 
in accordance with the tax laws. Tax has to be paid in advance until April, July, October and the 15th day of January of the following year by four 
installments. If those prepaid taxes are lower than the final corporate tax, the difference is paid until the end of March of the following year, in case of a 
claim made by company, if it is higher, then the difference is returned to the institution by the tax authorities after the inspection conducted by those 
institution. 

Georgia

Corporate earnings are subject to income tax rate of 15% according to the Georgian legislation. This ratio is applied to the tax base that will be calculated 
as a result of the implementation of exemptions, deductions, addition of disallowable expenses, to the income of corporations and that are calculated 
in accordance with the tax laws. In addition, in accordance with the legislation of Georgia, each year during May, July, September and December the 
amount of tax, that calculated according to the previous year income tax, is paid to the tax office by four equal installments of the probable income that is 
likely to be obtained the current year. If those prepaid taxes are lower than the final corporate tax, the difference is paid until the beginning of April of the 
following year, if it is higher, then the difference is returned to the institution by the tax authorities.

Germany

According to the tax regulations in Germany, corporate gains are subject to 15% corporate tax, 16.7% income and industrial tax. In addition to this, 
a solidarity tax of 5.5% is calculated over this corporate tax. The tax bases for corporate, income and industrial services are determined by adding 
the expenses that cannot be deducted according to Germany regulations, to interest, commissions and other operating gains and by subtracting 
exemptions and deductions from these. The corporate tax payments are made as temporary tax payments in four installments and are deducted from 
the corporate tax that is finalized at the end of the current year.

Russia

According to the Russian regulations, corporate gains are subject to 20% corporate tax. The corporate tax base is determined on accrual basis and it is 
measured by adding the non-deductible expenses to the corporate income gained during the period. Companies in Russia make quarterly tax returns and 
make provisional tax payment by offsetting the advance taxes paid during the period. Final taxation period for corporate tax is one year and the corporate 
tax is paid until the end of March of the following year, by considering the provisional taxes paid during the year. Coupon income from government bonds 
of the Russian Federation and Belarus, as well as the Ruble and some other private bonds issued by Russian companies after January 1, 2017 and traded 
on the stock exchange are subject to a corporate tax of 15%. The securities in the question income is paid within 10 business days from the end of the 
month following the bond sale or coupon payment and tax on remaining securities is paid on the day of payment of corporate tax.

Transfer pricing is regulated through Article 13 of Corporate Tax Law titled “Transfer Pricing through Camouflage of Earnings”. Detailed information for the 
practice regarding the subject is found in the “General Communiqué Regarding Camouflage of Earnings through Transfer Pricing”.

According to the aforementioned regulations, in the case of making purchase or sales of goods or services with relevant persons/corporations at a price 
that is determined against “arm’s length principle”, the gain is considered to be distributed implicitly through transfer pricing and such distribution of 
gains is not subject to deductions according to article 11 of Corporate Tax Law in means of corporate tax.

XXII.  Additional Information on Borrowings

The Parent Bank and its consolidated companies, whenever required, generates funds from individuals and institutions residing domestically and abroad 
by approaching the borrowing instruments in the form of syndication, securitization, collateralized borrowing and issue of bonds/bills. Such transactions 
are at first carried at acquisition cost, and in the following periods they are valued at amortized cost measured by using the effective interest rate method.

Part of the bills issued by the Group with fixed interest and a part of its liabilities with fixed interest are subject to fair value hedge accounting. While the 
rediscounted credit risk and accumulated interest amount subject to hedging liability are recognized in “Interest Expenses” under profit/loss statement; 
net amount resulted of the hedge accounting other than the credit risk and accumulated interest amount are recognized in “Derivative Financial 
Transactions Gains/Losses” under profit/loss statement by using fair value model. In the balance sheet, these valuations are presented with the related 
liabilities.

XXIII. 

Information on Equity Shares and Their Issuance

Share issuance related to costs is recognized as expenses. 

Dividend income related with the equity shares are determined by the General Assembly of the Shareholders.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding is taken into account in the calculation of earnings per share. In case the number of shares increases by 
way of bonus issues as a result of the capital increases made by using the internal sources, the calculation of earnings per share is made by adjusting the 
weighted average number of shares, which were previously calculated as at the comparable periods. 

The adjustment means that the number of shares used in calculation is taken into consideration as if the bonus issue occurred at the beginning of 
the comparable period. In case such changes in the number of shares occur after the balance sheet date, but before the ratification of the financial 
statements to be published, the calculation of earnings per share are based on the number of new shares. The Parent Bank’s earnings per share 
calculations taking place in the consolidated profit/loss statement are as follows.

II.  Explanations on Credit Risk

1. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of incurring loss where the counterparty in a transaction, partially or completely fails to meet its contractual 
obligations in due time in an agreement with the Bank and its consolidated financial subsidiaries. 

Banks and financial institutions subject to consolidation, carry out their placement activities in accordance with the credit limitations stipulated by legal 
regulations of the countries in which they operate.

The Parent Bank’s position against the credit risk limits defined by the current legislation is monitored by the Board.  Within this framework, loans 
extended to Risk Groups and the Parent Bank’s Risk Group, including the Parent Bank; loans in high amounts and limitations regarding the shares in 
participations are monitored according to the limits determined in connection with the size of the shareholders’ equity calculated on a bank-only and 
consolidated basis.

Credit risk limits of customers are determined depending on the financial situation and loan requirements of the borrowers, in strict compliance with 
the relevant banking legislation, within the framework of loan authorization limits of Branches, Regional Offices, Loan Divisions, and the Deputy Chief 
Executives responsible for loans, the CEO, the Credit Committee and the Board of Directors. These limits may be changed as may be deemed necessary 
by the Bank. Moreover, all commercial credit limits are revised periodically, provided that each period does not exceed a year. Furthermore, the borrowers 
and borrower groups forming a large proportion of the overall placement are subject to risk limits in order to provide further minimization of potential risk.

The geographical distribution of borrowers is consistent with the concentration of industrial and commercial activities in Turkey.

The distribution of borrowers by sector is monitored closely for each period and sectoral risk limits have been determined to prevent concentration of risk 
in sectoral sense.

The creditworthiness of customers is monitored on a consistent basis by using company rating and scoring models specially developed for this purpose, 
and the audit of statements of account received is assured to have been made in accordance with the provisions as stipulated by the relevant legislation

The Parent Bank and its financial affiliates give utmost importance to ensure that loans are furnished with collaterals. In accordance with the credit risk 
policy, the allocation decision is not based on the assumption that the collateral can be collected by redeeming it in principle. However, to minimize the 
credit risk, an appropriate level of collateral is obtained by accurately analyzing the credit worthiness and credit need of the customer. Legal recourse of 
collaterals in case of default, their redemption period, and their ability to maintain their expected value are taken into account from the beginning of the 
loan allocation process. Most of the loans extended are collateralized by taking real estate, movable or commercial enterprise under pledge, promissory 
notes and other liquid assets as collateral, or by acceptance of bank letters of guarantee and individual or corporate guarantees. The absence of 
concentration in terms of collateral is an important element of the credit policy.

Non-performing and impaired loans have been classified in accordance with the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” and BRSA’s “Regulation on Procedures 
and Principles for Classification of Loans and Provisions to be set aside”. The detailed descriptions of these methods correspond with accounting 
practices, are included in Section Three Note VIII.

Credit risk is the risk reduction effects without taking into consideration the total amount of exposures after offsetting transactions with different risk 
classes according to the types and amounts of disaggregated risks are listed below the average for the period.

15.  Information on Risk Classes:

In the calculation of the amount subject to credit risk, determining the risk weights related to risk classes stated on the article “Regulation on 
Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy of Banks”, is based on the Fitch Ratings’ and JCR Avrasya Derecelendirme A.Ş. international rating. 

“Receivables from Banks and Intermediaries” are receivables from related parties residing in foreign countries against the risk evaluated in class with 
“Receivables from Central Governments or Central Banks” are receivables that are evaluated in the class will be the subject of risk weights determined 
in accordance with Fitch Ratings issued by the rating of the risk. “Receivables from Banks and Intermediaries” in the class with resident banks and 
brokerage firms in the dorm evaluated risk “Corporate Receivables” in the class evaluated dorm resident companies and financial institutions in the 
TL-denominated receivables, the risk weights that will be the subject of JCR Avrasya Derecelendirme A.Ş.  international rating grades assigned by it are 
used. 

If a receivable-specific rating is performed, risk weights to be applied on the receivable are determined by the relevant credit rating.

The table related to mapping the ratings used in the calculations and credit quality grades, which is stated in the Annex of Regulation on Measurement 
and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy of Banks, is given below:

Explanations on Currency Risk

The exposed currency risk of the Group is result of the difference between the assets denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies. Furthermore, parity fluctuations of different foreign currencies are another element of the currency risk.

The currency risk of the Parent Bank is managed by the internal currency risk limits which are established as a part of the Parent Bank’s risk policies. The 
Assets and Liabilities Committee and the Assets and Liabilities Management Unit meet regularly to take the necessary decisions for hedging exchange 
rate and parity risks, within the framework of the determined by the “Net Foreign Currency Overall Position/ Shareholders’ Equity” ratio, which is a part 
of the legal limits requirement and the internal currency risk limits specified by the Board of Directors. Foreign exchange risk management decisions are 
strictly applied. 

In measuring the exposed currency risk of the Group, the Standard Method, the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall Model are used as 
applied in the statutory reporting.  

Measurements made for the Parent Bank within the scope of the Standard Method are carried out on a monthly basis and form the basis of determining 
the capital requirement for hedging currency risk.

Risk measurements made within the context of the VAR are practiced on a daily basis using the historical and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Scenario 
analyses are conducted to support the calculations made within the VAR context. Expected loss calculations are also carried out daily.

The results of the measurements made on currency risk are reported to the Key Management and the risks are closely monitored by taking into account 
the market and the economic conditions.

The Parent Bank’s foreign currency purchase rates at the date of balance sheet and for the last five working days of the period announced by the 
Parent Bank in TL are as follows:

Explanations on Interest Rate Risk

a. Interest sensitivity of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (Based on time remaining to repricing date):

Interest rate risk is defined as the impairment in the value of the interest sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items due to interest rate 
fluctuations. A method which takes into consideration the effect of standard interest shocks on the economic values of the Parent Bank’s on, and off-
balance sheet interest sensitive accounts is used for measuring the interest rate risk arising from the banking accounts, whereas the interest rate risk 
related to interest sensitive financial instruments followed under trading accounts is assessed within the scope of market risk.

Potential effects of interest rate risk on the Parent Bank’s assets and liabilities, market developments, the general economic environment and 
expectations are regularly followed in meetings of the Asset-Liability Management Committee, where further measures to reduce risk are taken when 
necessary.

The Parent Bank’s on and off-balance sheet interest sensitive accounts other than the assets and liabilities exposed to market risk are monitored and 
controlled by the limits on the ratio of structural interest rate risk to equity and tier 1 capital determined by the Board within the scope of “Asset-Liability 
Management Risk Policy”. Moreover, scenario analyses formed in line with the average maturity gaps and the historical data and expectations are also 
used in the management of the related risk. 

In addition, the effect of the change in interest rates on the Parent Bank's net interest income is analyzed regularly. Within this scope, the ratio of the 
change expected to occur in net interest income under carious scenarios to the limit on Tier I capital is monitored and regularly reported to the top 
management.

Interest rate sensitivity:

In this part, the sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to the interest rates has been analyzed assuming that the yearend balance figures were the 
same throughout the year. Mentioned analysis shows how the FC and TL changes in interest rates by one point during the one-year period affect the 
Group's income accounts and shareholders' equity under the assumption maturity structure and balances are remain the same all year round at the end 
of the year.

During the measurement of the Group’s interest rate sensitivity, the profit/loss on the asset and liability items that are evaluated with market value are 
determined by adding to/deducting from the difference between the expectancy value of the portfolio after one year in case there is no change in 
interest rates and the value of the portfolio one year later, which is measured after the interest shock, the interest income to be additionally earned/to be 
deprived of during the one year period due to the renewal or repricing of the related portfolio at the interest rates formed after the interest shock.

On the other hand, in the profit/loss calculation of assets and liabilities that are not evaluated by the current market prices, it is assumed that assets and 
liabilities with fixed interest rates will be renewed at maturity date and the assets and liabilities having variable interest rates will be renewed at the end of 
repricing period with the market interest rates generated after the interest shock.

Within this context, ceteris paribus, the possible changes that may occur in the Bank’s profit and shareholders’ equity in case of 100 base point increase/
decrease in TL and FC interest rates on the reporting day are given below:

(1) Changes in interest rates is calculated assuming that the expectations reflected in inflation. The effects on the profit/loss and shareholders’ equity are stated with their before 
tax values.

(2) The effect on the shareholders’ equity is arising from the change of the fair value of securities followed under Financial Assets at Fair Value through other comprehensive 
income.

Liquidity risk may occur as a result of funding long-term assets with short-term liabilities. The Groups’ liquidity is managed by the Asset-Liability 
Management Committee in accordance with the business strategies, legal requirements, current market conditions and expectations regarding the 
economic and financial conjuncture.

The Parent Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. Although the average maturity of deposits is shorter than that of assets as a result of the 
market conditions, the Bank’s wide network of branches and stable core deposit base are its most important safeguards of funding. Additionally, the 
Bank borrows medium and long-term funds from institutions abroad. Concentration limits are generally used in deposit and non-deposit borrowings in 
order to prevent adverse effects of concentrations in the liquidity risk profile of the Bank.

In order to meet the liquidity requirements that may arise from market fluctuations, considerable attention is paid to the need to preserve liquidity and 
efforts in this respect are supported by projections of Turkish Lira and Foreign Currency (FC) cash flows.  The term structure of TL and FC deposits, their 
costs and amounts are monitored on a daily basis. During these studies historical events and future expectations are taken into account as well, based 
upon cash flow projections, prices are differentiated for different maturities and measures are taken accordingly to meet liquidity requirements. Moreover, 
potential alternative sources of liquidity are determined to be used in case of extraordinary circumstances. 

The liquidity risk exposure of the Group has to be within the risk capacity limits which are prescribed by the legislation and the Group’s risk appetite 
defined in its business strategy. It is essential for the Group to have an adequate level of unencumbered liquid asset stock which can be sold or pledged, 
in case a large amount of reduction in liquidity sources occurs. The level of liquid asset buffer is determined in accordance with the liquidity risk 
tolerance which is set by the Board of Directors. Asset-Liability Management Committee is responsible for monitoring the liquidity position, determining 
appropriate sources of funds and deciding the maturity structure in accordance with the limits which are set by the Board of Directors.

The Treasury Division is responsible for monitoring the liquidity risk, in accordance with the Asset-Liability Management Risk Policy limits, objectives set 
out in the business plan and the decisions taken at the meetings of Asset-Liability Management Committee. The Treasury Division is also responsible 
for making liquidity projections and taking necessary precautions to reduce liquidity risk, by using the results of stress testing and scenario analysis. 
Within this scope, Treasury Division is monitoring the Turkish Lira (TL) and foreign currency (FC) liquidity position instantly and prospectively based on 
the information provided from the branches, business units and IT infrastructure of the Bank. The assessment of long-term borrowing opportunities is 
carried out regularly in order to balance the cash inflows and outflows and to mitigate the liquidity risk. The Bank creates liquidity through repurchase 
agreements and secured borrowings based on the high quality liquid asset portfolio, through securitization and other structured finance products which 
are created from the asset pools like credit card receivables and retail loans. 

The Bank applies liquidity stress tests to measure liquidity risk. In this approach, in liquidity stress scenarios in which parameters are determined by the 
Board of Directors, the ability of the Bank’s liquid assets’ in covering cash outflows within a one-month horizon has been described. Liquidity adequacy 
limits for TL and FC are determined by Board of Directors, based on the liquidity requirements and risk tolerance of the Bank. The liquidity risk is 
measured by the Risk Management Division and results are reported to the related executive functions, senior management and Board of Directors. 

It is essential for the Bank to monitor the liquidity position and funding strategy continuously. In case of a liquidity crisis that may arise from unfavorable 
market conditions, extraordinary macroeconomic situations and other reasons which are beyond the control of the Bank. “Emergency Action and 
Funding Plan” is expected to be commissioned. In that case, related committees have to report the precautions taken and their results to the Board of 
Directors through Audit Committee.

Compared to the prior priof, it is observed that the liquidity coverage ratio decreased in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to the increase in net cash 
outflows both in total and in foreign currency. Foreign currency liquidity coverage rate decreased due to the increase in net cash outflows, while the total 
liquidity coverage rate increased due to the increase in the stock of high-quality liquid assets. Total and Foreign Currency liquidity coverage ratios are 
continuing to hover far above the minimum level (respectively 100% and 80%) pursuant to legal legislations. 

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio which has been introduced to ensure banks to preserve sufficient stock of high-quality assets to meet their net cash 
outflows that may occur in the short term is calculated as per the Communiqué on “Measurement and Assessment of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio of 
Banks’ published by BRSA. The ratio is directly affected by the level of unencumbered high-quality assets which can be liquidated at any time and net 
cash inflows and outflows arising from the Group’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet transactions.

The Group’s high quality liquid asset stock primarily consists of cash and the accounts held at CBRT and unencumbered government bonds which are 
issued by Turkish Treasury. 

The Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. In term of non-deposit borrowing, funds received from repurchase agreements, marketable securities 
issued, and funds borrowed from financial institutions are among the most significant funding sources.

In order to manage liquidity effectively, concentration of liquidity sources and usages should be avoided. Due to the strong and stable core deposit base 
of the Bank, deposits are received from a diversified customer portfolio.  In addition, to provide diversification in liquidity sources and usages, liquidity 
concentration limits are used effectively.  Total amount of funds borrowed from a single counterparty, or a risk group is closely and instantaneously 
monitored, taking liquidity concentration limits into account. In addition to these, the cumulative liquidity deficits that the Parent Bank is exposed to in 
various maturity tranches are periodically monitored and reported to the senior management.

Cash flows of derivatives that will take place within 30 days are taken into account in calculation of liquidity coverage ratio. Cash outflows of derivatives 
that arise from margin obligations, are reflected to the results in accordance with the methodology articulated in the related legislation. 

Liquidity risk of the Bank, its foreign branches and subsidiaries that are to be included in consolidation are managed within the regulatory limits and 
in accordance with the Group strategies. For the purposes of effectiveness and sustainability of liquidity management, funding sources of Group 
compaiesy and funding diversification opportunities in terms of markets, instruments and tenor are evaluated and liquidity position of the group 
companies are monitored continuously by the Parent Bank.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Strike prices, quotations, market prices determined by the CBRT and published in the Official Gazette and the values calculated by using alternative 
models, are taken as the basis in the fair value determination of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Properties that are recorded under tangible assets at fair value by the Bank and consolidated companies are classified in the 3rd level, whereas 
investment properties are clasiffied both in the 2nd and 3rd level.

When the prices of the financial assets measured at amortized cost cannot be measured in an active market, fair values are not deemed to be reliably 
determined and amortized cost, calculated by the internal rate of return method, are taken into account as the fair values. 

Fair values of banks, loans granted, deposits and funds borrowed from other financial institutions are calculated by discounting the amounts in each 
maturity bracket formed according to repricing periods, using the rate corresponding to relevant maturity bracket in the discount curves based on current 
market conditions.

2. 

Information on fair value measurements recognized in the financial statements

TFRS 13 – “Fair Value Measurement” standard requires the items, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values to be shown in the notes 
by being classified within a range. According to this, the related financial instruments are classified into three levels in such a way that they will express 
the significance of the data used in fair value measurements. At the first level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined according 
to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, at the second level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined 
by directly or indirectly observable market data, and at the third level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by the data, which 
are not based on observable market data. The financial assets, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their values, are shown below as classified 
according to the aforementioned principles of ranking.

a. General Information on Risk Management and Risk Weighted Amounts

a.1 Risk Management Approach of the Group

The Group is exposed to financial and non-financial risks which are required to be analyzed, monitored and reported within specific risk management 
principles and with the perspective of Group risk management. The risk management process is organized within the framework of risk management 
and serves the creation of a common risk culture in corporate level; which brings “corporate governance” to forefront, the independence of the internal 
audit and monitoring units from the business units that undertake risks is established risk is defined in accordance with international regulations and in 
this context measurement, analysis, monitoring, reporting and control functions are carried.

Risk management process and the functions involved in the process is one of the primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Risk Committee 
operates to prepare the Group's risk management strategies and policies, submit them to the Board of Directors for approval and monitor the 
implementations. Evaluating the capital adequacy and observing the active use of results in planning and decision-making processes, establishing and 
monitoring limits related to main risks, monitoring the activities of risk management (determining, defining, measuring, evaluating and managing risk) and 
monitoring results and methods in measuring risk are also under their authority and responsibility of the Committee. Committee reports activity results to 
the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.

The Operational Risk Committee operates to determine strategies and policies for managing operational risks that the Bank may be exposed to, to 
develop an operational risk management framework and to strengthen the governance model for operational risks. The Committee reports the results of 
the activity to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.

The Risk Management Department, which reports to the Board of Directors of the Parent Bank through the Internal Systems Manager; organized as 
Asset-Liability Management Unit, Credit Risk Management Unit, Credit Risk Analytics and Control Unit, Operational Risk and Affiliate Risk Unit, Model 
Risk and Validation Unit, Internal Capital Assessment Process and Economic Capital Unit.

The Group’s risk management process is carried out within the framework of risk policies which are issued by the Board of the Directors by taking the 
recommendations of the Risk Management Department into account and which include the written standards that are implemented by the business 
units. These policies which are entered into force in line with the international practices are general standards which contain organization and scope 
of the risk management function, risk measurement policies, duties and responsibilities of the risk management group, procedures for determining risk 
limits, ways to eliminate limit violations, compulsory approvals and confirmations to be given in a variety of events and situations.

In the aforementioned risk policies, the Group’s risk appetite framework is defined as a set of approaches that determine the risk capacity, the risk 
appetite, the risk tolerance and that include the policies, procedures, controls and systems for reporting and monitoring of the limits set for the Group’s 
risk profile and the indicators in the framework. The Group's risk appetite framework, which is formed in accordance with the above-mentioned factors 
and entered into force with the Board of Directors approval, includes indicators that are aligned with the business plan, the strategic programme, 
capital and remuneration planning and comparable on a business unit level to the extent possible. The compliance to the limits within the framework is 
periodically monitored and the realization of the risk appetite indicators are reported to the Risk Committee and the Boards on a monthly basis.

In order to build a strong corporate culture that has a risk management perspective, the Group has policies, processes, systems and a control system 
that is integrated with the risk management system. All employees of the Group essentially perform their duties in a responsible manner that aims to 
develop controls to reduce or eliminate the probability of the Group to incur losses related to the operational risks. In the process risk analysis studies, 
risks and the related controls are evaluated together with employees performing the relevant process in a holistic approach.  Procedures to be followed 
in case of a risk threshold breach and risk definitions are given in the risk politics.  Code of conducts, operation manuals, the sharing of duties between 
business units and risk units are announced to staff.

The risk reports that analyse the results reached by the Parent Bank and the comprehensive risk assessment and comparison of these results with a risk 
management perspective are periodically submitted to the Risk Committee and to the Board through the Audit Committee. The content of the above-
mentioned reports could be summarised as follows:

 ੵ Capital adequacy ratio, the progression of the components of this ratio and the issues that affect the aforementioned ratio,

 ੵ Monitoring the compliance status of the limits set by the Board of Directors as a part of therisk appetite framework and based on the components of

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

As per the communique on “Bank’s Internal Systems and Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process” and “Guidelines for Stress Testing 
of Banks to Use in Capital and Liquidity Planning”, stress tests are conducted for the entire risks that the Group is exposed to and on the basis of 
significant risk categories. As a part of the holistic stress tests, risk appetite, capital planning, strategic plan and budget, action plans for emergencies and 
unexpected situations related to miscellaneous risks and other issues considered as significant are taken into consideration. In the above-mentioned 
stress tests, the methods that form the basis of regulatory reporting (standard method for credit and market risk, basic indicator method for operational 
risk) are used. On the other hand, in the stres tests for individual risk types the most advanced approaches used for risk measurement in the Parent Bank 
are leveraged.

In the stress tests, both the first pillar risks (credit risk, market risk, operational risk) in scope of the regulatory framework and all the other risks that 
the Group is exposed to independent of the regulatory framework are taken into account in a holistic perspective. In determining the course of capital 
adequacy under various scenarios during the planning horizon, the actions that the Group will take in case of stress conditions and the impact of the 
diversified growth strategies of business units on the capital adequacy and the balance sheet are considered.

The scope and content of the Parent Bank's risk management system in terms of the main risk types are listed below. Risk mitigation strategies and 
processes for the assessment of their effectiveness are given in Fourth Section II No. "Explanations on Credit Risk" under the Fourth Chapter XI-c.2

d.  Explanations on Counterparty credit risk 

d.1.  Qualitative Disclosures on Counterparty Credit Risk Approach

The counterparty credit risk that the Parent Bank exposed to is managed within the framework of general limit allocation and credit risk mitigaiton 
that are outlined the Credit Risk Policy of the Bank. In setting general credit limits, the counterparty credit risks of customers as well as their cash and 
noncash risks are taken into account with a holistic view. Moreover, the total position of the transactions which create counterparty credit risk is also 
monitored under a separate risk limit.

The counterparty credit risk, which stems from derivatives and repo like transactions including transactions with qualified central counterparties that result in 
liabilities for both sides, is measured according to the Appendix-2 and Appendix-4 of the "Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy 
of Banks" Counterparty credit risk valuation method based on the calculation of fair values of the derivative transactions is implemented. In the process 
of calculating the counterparty credit risk, the Standard Approach is used to determine the risk amounts of derivative transactions. In calculating the risk 
amount related to derivative transactions; 1.4 times the sum of potential credit risk amounts and positive replacement costs is charged.

Most of the credit risk related to the derivative transactions with other banks is subject to daily collateral clearing agreements mutually signed with 
related parties and the counterparty credit risk is hence reduced. There are no guarantees received or sold by credit derivatives by the Bank in the 
context of trading or banking accounts.

f. Explanations on Market Risk:

f.1. Qualitative information disclosed to the public regarding Market Risk

Market risk is defined as the risk that may reduce the market value of the trading portfolio due to the changes in the risk factors named interest rate, 
exchange rates, equities and the price of commodities and options.

The procedures for the management of market risk are discussed in the Parent Bank's "Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy" and those 
procedures are in line with the risk/return expectations and with the limits that are defined in the risk appetite framework. Limits related to market risk; are 
established by the Board and are revised periodically in order to reflect market conditions and best practices in the industry. Compliance to those limits 
is closely monitored by the Risk Management Department, Asset and Liability Management Committee and by the executive departments. Additionally, 
compliance with the provisions relating to the procedures and policies of market risk management is audited by the internal audit system.

Trading activities of the securities that are included in the calculation of market risk is carried out by taking the Asset-Liability Management Committee 
decisions, risk policies and established limits into consideration and risks arising due to these activities are hedged using derivatives transactions where 
necessary. 

Measurement of market risk, reporting of results, and monitoring compliance with the risk limits are among the key responsibilities of the Risk 
Management Department. Analyses related to market risk are reported to the Risk Comittee and to the Board via the Audit Committee by the Risk 
Management Deparment. 

The trading book of the Parent Bank included in market risk calculations consists of on balance-sheet financial assets that are held for trading intent, 
derivatives that provide hedge to those instruments and foreign currency positions. The market risk carried by the Group is measured and monitored 
using methods known respectively as the Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall in accordance with the local 
regulations which are established in compliance with the international legislations.  In this context, the exchange rate risk emerges as the most important 
component of the market risk.

The market risk calculations using the Standard Method are performed at the end of each month and the measurement results are included in the 
statutory reports as well as being reported to the Bank’s top management. 

The Value at Risk Model and Expected Shortfall is another alternative for the Standard Method used for measuring and monitoring market risk. This 
model is used to measure the market risk on a daily basis in terms of interest rate risk, currency risk and equity share risk and is a part of the Bank’s daily 
internal reporting. Further retrospective testing (back-testing) is carried out on a daily basis to determine the reliability of the daily risk calculation by the 
VAR model, which is used to estimate the maximum possible loss for the following day. 

Scenario analyses which support the VAR model used to measure the losses that may occur in the ordinary market conditions are practiced, and the 
possible impacts of scenarios that are developed based on the future predictions and the past crises, on the value of the Bank’s portfolio

h. The interest rate risk of the banking book items:

XII. 

Explanations on Segment Reporting

Interest rate risk arising from the banking accounts is defined as negative effect risk on capital of the changes in market interest rates due to differences 
in interest settlement and re-pricing on, differences in interest-earning assets taking part in the banking book; interest-bearing liabilities; interest-bearing 
derivative transactions inclusive of the policies established by the Board of Directors, is managed within the framework of the strategies set by the 
Parent Bank Asset-Liability Management Committee. Compliance with internal risk limits for banking portfolio is closely and continuously monitored by 
the Risk Management Department and Asset-Liability Managemant Committee and the measurement results are reported to the Board of Directors on 
a monthly basis.

Duration and sensitivity analysis are conducted on a monthly basis by the Bank in the scope of monitoring of interest rate risk arising from the banking 
books about Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Accounts from the Regulation on Measurement and Assessment of Standard Shock Method which 
is published in the Official Gazette No. 28034 dated August 23, 2011. In the duration analysis, the maturity gap between assets and liabilities of the 
balance sheet are determined by the calculation of the weighted average maturities based on the asset that sensitive to interest rate and liabilities and 
off-balance sheet transactions re-pricing period. In the interest rate risk sensitivity analysis, the influence of the various interest rate change scenarios to 
the economic value of the Bank's capital is examined.

In the calculations made within the framework of the said regulation, behavioral maturity modeling is performed for demand deposits with low sensitivity 
to interest changes and whose original maturity is longer than the contractual maturity. In these studies, which are defined as core deposit analysis, 
based on historical data, calculations are made for what amount of demand deposits will remain within the bank for what maturity, and these analyzes 
are used as an input in quantifying the interest rate risk arising from banking accounts in a way that does not contradict legal provisions.

 ੵ In the calculation, the ceiling of 15,371.40 TL (full TL amount) valid as of 31.12.2022 was taken as basis.
 ੵ Retirement age is taken into account as the earliest age at which individuals can retire.

amount which is recognized within the framework of credit card expenses of credit card customers or promotions for banking services as of December

i.4.3.  As mentioned public disclosures of the Bank on December 31, 2012 and December 19, 2013; an inspection has been made by the inspectors of 
Tax Inspection Board to "Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Mensupları Munzam Sosyal Güvenlik ve Yardımlaşma Sandığı Vakfı" ("İşbank Supplementary Pension 
Fund"), which was founded as per the provisions of the Turkish Commercial and Civil Codes, regarding the payments that fulfill İşbank's liabilities within 
the framework of the Articles of Foundation of the Pension Fund and the relevant legislation. As a result of this investigation, tax audit reports were 
prepared for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 claiming that the aforementioned liabilities should be taxed in terms of wage base, thus, they 
should be subject to withholding tax and stamp duty. According to this report, the total amount of tax and penalties notified to Bank was TL 74,353 for 
2007 and 2008; and as of reporting date TL 151,899 for 2009, 2010 and 2011 and it was stated that the Bank applied to tax courts to cancel these tax 
notifications and some of the court decisions were determined in favor of the Bank and some others were determined against the Bank.

In this context, for the finalized decisions of Regional Administrative Courts related to the years 2007 and 2008 against the Bank, the Bank applied to 
the Constitutional Court. According to decisions made by Constitutional Court up to reporting date, there is no predictability in legal conformity for taxing 
the Bank's contributions to the Pension Fund in terms of wage base and for this reason it was accepted that property right of the Bank has been violated 
according to the 35th article of Constitution. The Court decided that the amount of tax, penalties and default interest which was paid by the Bank should 
be paid back to the Bank as for compensation with its legal interest.

Besides of the Bank, an inspection was conducted by Tax Audit Committee Inspectors regarding to the contribution obligations mentioned above for 
the period 2007-2011 on Munzam Sosyal Güvenlik ve Yardımlaşma Sandığı Vakfı Mensupları which is founded according to Turkish Commercial Law 
and Civil Law, owned by “Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş”. “Milli Reasürans T.A.Ş”, and Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta Şirketi. As a result of the issued 
report that companies a total of TL 33 million (exact amount) tax penalty notices were notified. Assessments made on the subject by the company’s 
application in accordance with the legislation, which was suspended for Tax Administration concluded that the lack of legal basis of assessment and 
said assessment were filed in court against the various tax. A number of cases concluded in favor of the Bank; another part of lawsuits concluded 
against the Bank.

In the last decision of the constitutional court numbered 2016/2400 regarding the legal proceedings initiated upon the conclusion of the lawsuits 
amounting to TL 61,060 for the 20 periods in 2012 and 2013 against the bank; it was accepted that the predictability criterion was realized after the 
2012 tax review, and it was concluded that the Bank’s ownership rights were not violated for December 2012 and beyond periods. However, since 
the aforementioned periods were filed by making a reservation and paying taxes, the mentioned decision had no additional effect on the financial 
statements. In addition, at two case files, which was one of the lawsuits regarding the repayment of income tax stoppage and stamp tax which has been 
paid by reservation statement beginning from December 2013, of which its court decision was rendered in favour of the Bank, has been reversed by the 
majority of the votes of the Assembly after it was submitted to the General Assembly of Tax Courts and the decisions were finalized against the Bank. 
Regarding the mentioned issue, the legal process is ongoing.

In this process, the Group companies are acting together with the Parent Bank and in this regard TL 12,662 (December 31, 2021: TL 162,960) have 
been transferred to the provision expense accounts in the current period.

i.4.4.     In 1993, Dışbank A.Ş. shares which were owned by the Parent Bank were sold to Lapis Holding A.Ş. In 2008, it was claimed that USD 52.6 million 
of the amount, which was paid upfront within the context of the sale agreement, had been provided from the funds of the insolvent TYT Bank A.Ş. by the 
buyer and payment of the mentioned amount as well as the interest to be calculated to the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (SDIF) was demanded. 

The administrative actions initiated by the SDIF in 2008 were revoked by Council of State Administrative Law Chambers 13th upon the application of 
the Bank. The decisions which were in favour of the Bank were reversed by Plenary Session of the Law Chamber upon the appeal of the SDIF, Council of 
State Administrative Law Chambers 13th decided to reject the applications of the Bank in January 2016 due to their obligation to obey the decisions of 
reversal.

After the aforementioned court decisions, although the legal process was still in progress, the collection procedures were carried out within the context 
of Law No. 6183 and TL 298,466 including the default interest, was collected from the Bank by the SDIF at prior periods and made provision for the 
whole amount.

As a part of the legal process, individual application to the Constitutional Court of Republic of Turkey has been made by the Bank was not concluded 
positively. Regarding the ongoing lawsuits, the negative declaratory action brought against the Bank to determine that the Bank is not a debtor has 
been finalized against the Bank. In this context, necessary provision has been made by the Bank in the financial statements dated 31.12.2022 for the 
difference between the down payment regarding the sales contract stated above and the amount of 52.6 million USD paid in 2016. legal process is still 
ongoing

i.4.5.     Except the other provisions indicated above, free provision within conservatism principle, for negative circumstances which may arise from the 
possible changes that may arise in the economy and market conditions, amounting to TL 8,475,000 of which TL 4,075,000 provided in prior years and

TSKB 

Türkiye’s first privately-owned development and investment bank 

TSKB, as a leader among the privately-owned development and investment banks, has undertaken a significant role in Türkiye’s 
economic development since its incorporation in 1950. 

The Bank continues to add sustainable value for stakeholders and the national economy with the value it generates in economic, 
environmental and social areas. Offering its customers a wide range of innovative services with its in-depth knowledge in corporate 
banking, investment banking and advisory services, TSKB has adopted it as its mission to contribute continued and increasing 
support to the inclusive and sustainable development of the country. 

Within the scope of the resources obtained from development finance institutions and international financial institutions, TSKB 
provides loans in the area of renewable energy and adaptation, as well as social loans related to women’s employment, supporting 
employment management in underdeveloped areas, and indirectly transfers funds to SMEs’ investments in diverse sectors through 
APEX loans provided to financial institutions. 

Undertaking a key role in the development and sustainable growth of the Turkish economy, TSKB maintained its No. 1 position 
in Türkiye and strengthened its position globally by ranking in the lowest risk group with 7.9 points as a result of a 5.6 point 
improvement in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk rating as of September 2022 by Sustainalytics, an independent 
specialized organization. TSKB is also one of the leading organizations when it comes to corporate governance. The Bank's corporate 
governance rating, which was 9.56 out of 10 and increased to 9.59 in October 2021, was maintained in 2022 as well.  

 TSKB signed a USD 650 million funding agreement with development finance institutions in 2022.  With the “JBIC GREEN 2” 
loan agreement signed in February, TSKB aims to provide financing for renewable energy and energy efficiency investments and 
advanced technology-supported projects that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Türkiye. In March, the Bank signed 
a USD 100 million loan agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to provide financing to companies in Türkiye

guarantee of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Treasury and Finance, to finance investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, 
climate change adaptation compliance, and supporting industries with a focus on climate change prevention and climate change 
compliance of private sector companies in Türkiye. Also in December, the Bank signed a EUR 80 million loan agreement with the 
French Development Agency (AFD) to finance investments in Türkiye that serve the circular economy and investments to be made 
by companies aiming to develop circular economy practices. TSKB, which ranks first in Türkiye and is among the best banks in the 
world with its ESG rating, signed its third syndication loan agreement indexed to sustainability criteria on July 25, 2022 and secured 
financing amounting to USD 109 million.

TSKB is one of Türkiye’s leading institutions in the field of sustainability, taking into account the environmental and social impact 
dimensions of all investment and operating loans it extends. Currently, the Bank’s loans related to Sustainable Development Goals 
(SDGs) account for 91 percent of its total portfolio, while the share of loans contributing to climate and environment-related SDGs is 
60 percent. In 2017, TSKB broke new ground and became the first institution in the Turkish financial sector to publish an Integrated 
Report. In 2016, the Bank broke new ground in Türkiye and the CEEMEA region with its Green/Sustainable Bond issuance, and in 
March 2017, the Bank issued the first subordinated sustainable bond in the world. In 2019, TSKB became a signatory to the UNEP-FI 
Principles for Responsible Banking. In the same year, TSKB became the 10th member of the Management Committee of IDFC, of 
which it has been a member together with leading international development banks since 2011. In October 2022, the Bank became a

countries amounted to USD 1.1 billion as of year-end 2022. 

Positioned as one of the world’s and Europe’s leading companies in the industry, the Şişecam Group was ranked between second and 
fifth in the world and Europe in terms of production capacity in glass manufacturing as of December 2022. 

Ranking fourth in Europe and second in the world in terms of soda production capacity, the Group is the world leader in the production 
of basic chromium sulphate and ranks second in the production of sodium bichromate. 

As of December 2022, Şişecam had TL 163.9 billion in total consolidated assets and TL 95 billion in shareholder equity. 

Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company’s credit rating from "B+" to "B" with a "negative" outlook in the assessment made in July 
2022. In Moody's assessment dated August 12, 2022, the Company's credit rating was downgraded from "B2" to "B3" and the 
outlook was changed to "stable". The Company’s Corporate Governance Rating Score was 9.60 in December 2022.

Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları A.Ş. ranked 22nd in the ISO Türkiye's Top 500 Industrial Enterprises list for 2021.

Şişecam's installed patterned glass production capacity in Türkiye will reach 324 thousand tons/year by the end of 2024, in line with 
the decision to invest in a patterned glass furnace in Mersin/Tarsus to meet the needs of the energy glass market.

In February 2022, Şişecam acquired Italian Refel S.p.A., one of the world's leading producers of refractory materials used in the 
construction and maintenance of glass melting furnaces with an annual production capacity of 6 thousand tons, with the aim of 
eliminating the risks associated with supply chain disruption in the AZS refractory supply processes, further strengthening its 
strategic position in the European and global glass market.

Şişecam decided to invest in Basalia Technology, a groundbreaking solution in the green and circular economy space developed to 
turn any kind of waste into value-added products and to support research & development projects in this area; Şişecam became 
a 10% shareholder in the Swiss-based 7Cbasalia Global AG company. Basalia bio-loop technology was first used at the Şişecam 
Mersin facility.

Environmental Indicators 

 Total Energy Consumption (GJ)

Total energy consumption including energy sources covers electricity natural gas, fuel-oil, coal and diesel 
consumption figures. Electricity consumption was initially calculated in kWh and then converted to GJ. In this 
conversion, 1 kWh = 0.0036 GJ conversion factor was used. After calculating monthly natural gas consumption 
in m3, monthly coal consumption in kg, monthly fuel-oil and consumption in lt in 2022, it was converted to kWh 
by using the monthly-based lower heat values on the invoices. The annual total consumption is calculated by 
summing these monthly consumptions. Annual total consumption was converted to GJ using the conversion 
factor mentioned above and added to the total energy consumption. Reporting boundary for this KPI covers 
Turkey operations of İş Bankası. 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions ı 

Greenhouse gas emissions refer to carbon emissions from energy consumption during the reporting period.

 ੵ Scope 1 Emissions  (tCO2e)
 ੵ Scope 2 Emissions (tCO2e)
 ੵ Scope 3 Emissions (tCO2e)

Greenhouse gas emissions resulting are calculated in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Revised 
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard by Demir Energy, a firm offering strategy, management and 
reporting services in the area of sustainability

Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in 3 different scopes: Scope 1 (Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions), 
Scope 2 (Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions) and Scope 3 (Other Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions).
IPCC 5th Assessment Report factors were used for emission factors. Network Emission Factor has been 
calculated in accordance with the data provided by TEİAŞ. Direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1) 
and indirect energy greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 2) were made according to the GHG Protocol – 
According to location-based criterion.

Other indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 3) are reported according to the GHG Protocol. DEFRA 
emission factors were used for air travel emissions and Environmental Paper Network emission factors were used 
for paper consumption.

While calculating greenhouse gas emissions, the following sources causing carbon emissions were considered:

Scope 1 Emissions*: 
 ੵ Natural gas, diesel, LPG, fuel oil and coal consumption for heating purposes, 
 ੵ Fuels used in generators (Diesel), 
 ੵ Company vehicles fuel Consumption (Diesel and Gasoline)

the total municipal water. Consumption values are followed from invoices and prepaid counters located in the 
buildings. Consumptions at all locations are tracked and reported throughout the year.

For a small number of (28) service buildings whose water consumption amounts could not be determined in any 
way, estimated consumption value information was calculated based on the number of employees in accordance 
with the TS1258 standard.

Rainwater is collected and filtered through the rainwater collection channels installed in the Headquarters 
buildings; stored in the reservoirs, and the water used from this reservoir is measured and monitored by the 
building management via watermeter readings. Rainwater includes the amount of water recovered/reused.

Total drinking water refers to the amount of water consumed for drinking purposes in the Headquarters buildings. 
Drinking water for these buildings is supplied by tankers and bottled water; which have been recorded since 
2021. In service buildings that own ISO14001 certificate, total drinking water is supplied by bottled water. The 
water consumed in service buildings is not included in the reporting scope.

The total amount of wastewater was calculated as the sum of the amount of water purchased as municipal water 
and collected as rainwater and reused in various activities.

It includes the greenhouse gas emission intensity values calculated by dividing the Bank's Scope 1 and Scope 
2 greenhouse gas emissions by its consolidated assets, the total number of employees in Turkey and its

Assurance Standards Board. That Standard requires that we plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance about 
whether the Selected Information is free from material misstatement.
We apply the International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC1) and, in conformity with this Standard, maintain a comprehensive system 
of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding the compliance with ethical principles, professional standards 
and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by 
the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional 
competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior. 

Procedures performed 
A limited assurance engagement on a Selected Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the 
preparation of information presented in the Selected Information, and applying analytical and other evidence gathering procedures, as 
appropriate. These procedures included:
 ੵ Interviews with relevant staff at the corporate and business unit level responsible for providing the information in the Selected 

Information,

 ੵ Using the Reporting Guidance of the Report to measure and evaluate the Selected Information,
 ੵ Evaluating the design and implementation of key processes and controls over the Selected Information,
 ੵ Re-performing, on a sample basis, the calculations used to prepare the Selected Information for the reporting period,
 ੵ Evaluating the disclosure and presentation of the Selected Information in the Report to determine whether it is in line with our overall 

knowledge of, and experience with, the sustainability performance of İş Bankası,

 ੵ Comparing the information presented in the Selected Information to corresponding information in the relevant underlying sources to 
determine whether all the relevant information contained in such underlying sources has been included in the Selected Information,

 ੵ Reading the information presented in the Selected Information to determine whether it is in line with our overall knowledge of, and 

experience with, the sustainability performance of İş Bankası.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less wide than a reasonable 
assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is lower than that of a 
reasonable assurance engagement. 

Inherent limitations 
Due to the inherent limitations of any internal control structure it is possible that errors or irregularities in the information presented in the 
Selected Information may occur and not be detected. Our engagement is not designed to detect all weaknesses in the internal controls 
over the preparation and presentation of the Selected Information, as the engagement has not been performed continuously throughout 
the period and the procedures performed were undertaken on a test basis.

Conclusion 
Our conclusion has been formed on the basis of, and is subject to, the matters outlined in this report.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusions.
Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, as described above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us 
to believe that the Selected Information as defined in the Report of İş Bankası for the year ended 31 December 2022 is not presented, in 
all material respects, in accordance with the İş Bankası’s internally developed reporting criteria as explained in the Reporting Guidance.
In accordance with the terms of our engagement, this independent limited assurance report on the Selected Information has been 
prepared for İş Bankası in connect with reporting to İş Bankası and for no other purpose or in any other context.

Restriction of use of our report 
Our report should not be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by any party wishing to acquire rights against us other than İş 
Bankası, for any purpose or in any other context. Any party other than İş Bankası who obtains access to our report or a copy thereof and 
chooses to rely on our report (or any part thereof) will do so at its own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept or assume no 
responsibility and deny any liability to any party other than İş Bankası for our work, for this independent limited assurance report, or for the 
conclusions we have reached.

Personnel Regulations, there is a regulation that requires employees "to 
be over the age of 18".

GRI Content Index:  The working conditions of employees at İşbank 
are determined within the framework of the provisions of the labor 
legislation, the Bank's internal regulations, and the provisions of the 
Collective Bargaining Agreement. In this context, the principle of 
freedom of employment and contract as expressed in the Constitution 
is valid at İşbank. In addition, İşbank is among the organizations with 
the highest rate of unionized employees in the sector. Therefore, İşbank 
does not have any operations with the risk of forced / compulsory labor.

GRI Content Index: In accordance with Law No. 5188 on Private Security 
Services and the provisions of the regulation on the implementation of 
this Law, persons whose Private Security Identity Card validity will expire 
must take this training. The validity period of the Identity Card is 5 years. 
Accordingly, 191 Private Security Officers received the relevant training 
in 2022. On 31.12.2022, the number of our Private Security Officers was 
1869 and 10.22% of them attended the refresher training.
