Introductionİşbank Annual Report 2019İşbank Since 1924

İşbank, continued to 
support the real sector and 
Turkey’s economy steadily 
also in 2019.

In keeping with its founding mission, 
İşbank has aimed to accept even the 
smallest amount of savings and to put it 
toward economic development.

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

In 1950s, İşbank focused on developing 
its equity participations portfolio.

As İşbank’s equity participations became 
drivers of Turkish industry, the Bank 
supplied resources in the form of capital 
and financing to a number of industries 
with a focus on manufacturing. In 1960s 
and 1970s, İşbank accelerated the pace 

of the branch network expansion at the 
national level. In 1980s, the Bank focused 
on increasing 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 and services to customers.

In 1982, İşbank introduced the first ATMs 
to the Turkish market. Its ATM, named 
“Bankamatik”, became the generic name 
for automatic teller machines in Turkey.

İşbank further solidified its position 
as the sector’s pioneer in alternative 
distribution channels when it launched 
the country’s first telephone banking 
service, “Mavi Hat (Blueline)” in 1991, and 
Turkey’s first online branch in 1997.

In subsequent years, İşbank continued 
to move forward by improving service 
quality and by developing products 
tailored to customer expectations. In 
parallel with these innovations, the Bank 
also focused on R&D efforts and made 
maximum use of new technology.

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

8

İşbank Annual Report 2019In 2006, İşbank initiated the Customer- 
Centric Transformation (MOD) program, 
aimed at restructuring the Bank with a 
customer-focused approach. Under this 
program, many projects and initiatives 
that resulted in truly revolutionary 
changes were successfully completed.

In line with rapid advances in technology, 
İşbank continued to improve the 
innovative multi-channel banking 
network, allowing customers to utilize 
the most suitable channel to perform any 
banking transaction conveniently, quickly 
and reliably, 24 hours a day, 7 days a 
week.

Initiating the customer-centered Digital 
Transformation Program with the vision 
of becoming “Turkey’s Best Digital Bank”, 
İşbank founded MaxiTech in Silicon Valley 
in 2016 which will provide support to 
digital transformation.

“Workup by İşbank” entrepreneurship 
program was initiated under Kolektif 
House in order to support high potential 
and technology focused startups. 
Besides, Innovation Committee was 
established at İşbank in order to provide 
extending innovation culture and 
carrying on with innovation process 
continually.

In 2018, İşbank kept consolidating its 
leadership in digital banking. While the 
personal assistant application Maxi that 
quickly achieved a record number of 
customer contacts was integrated to the 
service platform, humanoid robot Pepper 
began offering service at İstanbul branch, 
representing the first concrete step of 
the target of enriching customer service 
experience delivered at branches with 
robotic technology.

Cooperation activities are intensified 
with ventures contacted in the 
entrepreneurship ecosystem. İşbank 
moved one step further in the innovation 
universe with the opening of the 
Shanghai Innovation Center.

İşbank, continued to support the real 
sector and Turkey’s economy steadily 
also in 2019. In the same period the 
Bank continued its efforts to improve 
its value proposition to its customers 
with its product and service range. 
With TekCep service, Turkey’s first 
open banking app which allows to track 
account movements at different banks 
via İşCep was put into use for legal entity 
customers. Apart from this, the Bank 
offered many innovative products to 
its customers from all segments, took 
the digitalization journey to new levels 
and materialized further its support for

İşbank’s value 
creation model

We are one of the biggest economic actors of 
our country.

In terms of the financial strength it possesses, 
İşbank is one of the biggest economic actors of our 
country. This identity is a reflection of the added 
value produced by banking operations, and the 
extensive and great economic power the Bank 
represents together with its subsidiaries.

Consisting of 112 companies, İşbank Group today 
has approximately 60 thousand employees. 
Besides the employment it creates, İşbank Group 
produces solid added value for our country with its 
trade volume, total exports, R&D and innovation 
projects, sustainability initiatives, and social 
benefits it provides. 

We are focused on innovation and on the 
future.

Acquiring a tangible dimension through our value 
creation model that we call “İşbank Banking”, our 
Bank keeps working to fulfill its responsibilities 
towards the society, our employees, shareholders 
and other stakeholders, to help build the future, 
and to contribute to economic welfare. İşbank 
embraces it as a fundamental principle to be 
a socially responsible economic actor and an 
attentive employer, which are also integral and 
complementary components of its business 
philosophy.

Focusing on the future by correctly using all capital 
elements at its disposal and realizing initiatives 
that will mold the future competition, İşbank has 
undertaken a pioneering role in redefining the 
mode of doing business in the banking sector as it 
leapfrogged in digitalization.

Our Bank’s activities in the startup ecosystem 
serve as another reflection of İşbank’s focus 
on the future. The rapid developments in the 
startup ecosystem that run concurrently with 
digitalization are reshaping a substantial portion 
of economic life, as well as of the banking 
business. Our Bank decidedly remains a telling, 
dynamic and proactive actor in these areas on the 
back of the collaborations it develops.

We are introducing a new perspective to our 
sustainability efforts.

İşbank set its approach to sustainability on the 
basis of its long-standing systematic efforts, 
introduced the necessary standards and made 
significant progress in this area.

A signatory of the UN Global Compact, our Bank 
also supports the Sustainable Development Goals 
adopted in 2015 to guide investments and efforts 
targeted at sustainable development, and directly 
or indirectly contributes to many of these goals.

Introductionİşbank Annual Report 2019Message from the Chairperson

While rapidly building on its activities associated with 
sustainable banking, our Bank also creates positive 
impact with loans extended in a number of fields ranging 
from the financing of renewable energy to energy 
efficiency and increasing women employment.

Museum

In 2019 the 
Economic 
Independence 
Museum of İşbank 
was opened.

While rapidly building on its activities associated 
with sustainable banking, our Bank also creates 
positive impact with loans extended in a number 
of fields ranging from the financing of renewable 
energy to energy efficiency and increasing women 
employment.

At our Bank, which strongly supports initiatives 
aimed at increased participation of women in 
business life, the ratio of women employees was 
51% and the ratio of women managers was 45% 
as at year-end 2019.

Another important step related to sustainability 
has been the first Integrated Report published by 
our Bank in 2019. Prepared in accordance with the 
reporting criteria of the International Integrated 
Reporting Council, this report has presented 
İşbank’s activities and performance with an 
integrated perspective.

We are charging ahead with our social 
responsibility projects.

Ever since its incorporation, our Bank has played a 
pioneering role in driving social progress. İşbank is 
an organization targeting to bring the added value 
it creates while putting into life far-reaching, long-
lived and sustainable social responsibility projects 
to the broadest segment of the society possible.

The highlights of our social responsibility 
initiatives include “One Million Students, One 
Million Books” under which 14 million books were 
given to primary school children over the course 
of 12 years, main sponsorship of the Turkish 
Chess Federation whereby chess classes have 
been opened all over Turkey, “”81 Students from 
81 Cities” project carried on in collaboration with 
Darüşşafaka, and a wide variety of culture and 
arts activities ranging from performance arts to 
museums and archeology carried out under the

Yayınları publishing house brings a large number 
of quality books to the readers.

The inauguration of the Economic Independence 
Museum of İşbank, our second museum after the 
İşbank Museum opened in 2007, was another 
highlight of 2019. Set in our historic building 
located in Ulus, Ankara, which also served as 
the Head Office building of İşbank, the museum 
showcases our Bank’s deep-rooted corporate 
history and Turkey’s economic development for 
the visitors.

In 2019, our Bank signed its name also under a 
project that will lead the development of scientific 
and academic research programs and their 
sponsorship by organizations. The first Turkish 
Arctic Scientific Expedition sponsored by our Bank 
and led by İstanbul Technical University’s Polar 
Research Center has been a source of pride for us 
all.

Being Turkey’s largest private sector bank, 
İşbank will keep standing by its customers with 
its products and services and producing value 
by putting its resources to use for the country’s 
sustainable development.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, I

95th year

İşbank celebrated its 
95th anniversary.

Esteemed shareholders, customers, employees 
and business partners of İşbank, 

In 2019, loss of pace in global economy became 
pronounced with the effect of trade wars, Brexit-
related developments, and aggravated geopolitical 
risks. Low inflation in connection with weak 
demand conditions and moderate commodity 

prices accompanying decelerated global economy 
led the central banks of developed countries 
to return to monetary policies supporting 
economic activity. This paved the way for a 
global conjuncture that is more positive than was 
expected at the onset of 2019 in terms of access 
to international liquidity for emerging countries 
where Turkey belongs.

total funding we 
have supplied to the 
economy in the form 
of loans amounted 
to TL 363.4 billion in 
2019.

Delivery of innovative products to the customers, 
our collaboration with technology service providers, 
employment of artificial intelligence, and our investments 
in innovation at our Bank come to the forefront as the 
determinants of our digitalization journey.

In Turkey, on the other hand, following the 
contraction period that began in the last quarter 
of 2018, economic activity adopted a recovery 
trend from the second half of 2019, with the 
added effect of the CBRT’s 1,200 bps reduction in 
the policy rate. 

Turkey’s Bank is stronger than ever in its 95th 
year…

Having celebrated its 95th anniversary in 2019, 
İşbank retained its title as Turkey’s leading private 
bank in terms of total assets, shareholders’ 
equity, total loans and total deposits, and fittingly 
sustained its uninterrupted support to the Turkish 
economy. Continuing to stand by the real sector 
in line with its healthy and sustainable growth 
strategy, our Bank actively fulfilled households’ 
financing needs, and their demands for banking 
products and services.

While our total assets grew by 12.4% year-
over-year to TL 468.1 billion in 2019, our total 
lending went up by 4.7% to reach TL 270.4 billion. 
Including the non-cash loans worth TL 93.0 billion 
extended to our customers, total funding we 
have supplied to the economy in the form of loans 
amounted to TL 363.4 billion in the reporting 
period. 

In 2019, all necessary support continued to 
be provided to the SMEs. Total lending to the 
SMEs added up to TL 58.7 billion as at year-end 
2019. The array of products and services we are 
delivering digitally also expanded in 2019, and 
our personal loan disbursements reached TL 63.8 
billion, up by 9.6%.

Despite the challenging conditions of 2019, our 
Bank’s NPL ratio remained below the average NPL 
ratio among private banks and stood at 6.5%.

With the contribution lent by our total deposits, 
extensive branch network and digital banking 
channels as well, our total deposits expanded by 
20.7% and amounted to TL 295.9 billion at the 
end of 2019.

Having achieved its targets to a large extent at 
the end of 2019, our Bank posted TL 6.1 billion in 
net profit for the period. In the same timeframe, 
İşbank’s shareholders’ equity reached TL 58.9 
billion, while its capital adequacy ratio, which 
was registered as 17.9%, continued to provide 
the capacity that will back progress without 
compromising from the growth strategy.

İşbank authored significant achievements in 
digital banking also in 2019.

In 2019, as İşbank, we have not only exhibited a 
solid financial performance but also continued to 
improve and diversify the services we offer to our 
customers in all respects on the back of our fast-
moving efforts in digitalization. We have realized 
solid investments for the future such as bringing 
the speed and convenience granted by technology 
to our customers at the maximum extent possible, 
and redesigning our modes of doing business as 
required by technological transformation.

İşbank’s service concept espouses an approach 
that seeks to constantly enhance customer 
experience by developing high added-value 
products and services. Increased delivery of 
innovative products to the customers, our close 
collaboration with technology service providers,

Number of total 
digital customers 

employment of artificial intelligence, and our 
investments in innovation at our Bank come to the 
forefront as the determinants of our digitalization 
journey.

While the number of our Bank’s active mobile 
banking customers reached 7.8 million in 2019, the 
number of total digital customers exceeded 8.1 
million, and the share of non-branch channels in 
total transactions reached 92%. Maxi, the personal 
assistant that is one of the most important outputs 
of the Artificial Intelligence projects at our Bank, 
carried out more than 22 million dialogues with 
4.8 million customers as at year-end 2019, and 
the total number of its capabilities went up to 
164. Turkey’s first mobile banking app, İşCep was 
enriched with 44 new functions in 2019 and the 
total number of its functions rose to 316.

One other important step in 2019 has been 
the TekCep service, which allows legal entity 
customers to track their account movements at 
different banks via İşCep. Work is ongoing to offer 
TekCep, which is one of the most remarkable 
examples of open banking in Turkey, to our retail 
customers as well.

While the share of branches within total 
transactions relatively decreased with all these 
efforts in the field of digitalization, our branches 
preserved their importance being our main service 
points where we contact our customers face-
to-face. In the period ahead, we will continue to 
manage and build on our branch network with a 
focus on productivity.

Supporting entrepreneurship is embedded in 
İşbank’s genes.

Founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk for 
undertaking a pioneering role in the establishment 
of a national economy, İşbank has supported 
numerous entrepreneurs since the early years of 
the Turkish Republic.

Also today, our Bank continues to stand by 
the entrepreneurial community based on a 
holistic perspective as evidenced in the Workup 
Entrepreneurship Program, Arya Women 
Investment Platform initiated to support women 
entrepreneurs, the collaboration with the Turkish 
Entrepreneurship Foundation (GİRVAK) seeking 
to encourage entrepreneurship at early ages, and 
supporting the entrepreneurs in agribusiness.

Initiated in 2017 to develop the business ideas 
and grow the businesses of technology-focused 
startups, which have become significant players of 
today’s economy and which are also important for 
the Turkish economy, Workup Entrepreneurship 
Program’s graduates reached 49 in number 
in 2019. On the other hand, Maxis Innovative 
Venture Capital Fund, to which our Bank has 
committed to allocate funds up to TL 100 million 
and which contributes to the implementation of 
new business ideas, began supporting ventures 
during 2019.

Our Bank’s efforts in this field are not confined to 
Turkey’s national borders. The startup ecosystem 
and technological innovations are being followed-

Through the deals signed in May and November 
during the reporting period, İşbank secured 
syndicated loans with a total amount of USD 1.9 
billion to be used for foreign trade finance.

In 2019, our Bank also carried on with Tier II capital 
subordinated debts. With two issues with a final 
maturity of 10 years and in the amounts of TL 800 
million and TL 350 million offered to qualified 
investors, the Bank’s Tier-II subordinated debt 
volume in Turkish lira terms reached TL 2.3 billion.

In 2019, the Bank issued a 5-year covered bond 
with a nominal amount of TL 400 million within its 
Global Covered Bond Program, and also Turkey’s 
first green bond with a nominal amount of USD 50

Inheriting a century-old experience and

above, our human resource is strong, competent, 
and more importantly, innovative.

productive year for our country, our Bank and 
stakeholders. On behalf of our Bank, I thank

partners, and our employees who played the 
biggest part in the results achieved.

Introductionİşbank Annual Report 2019The Fed 
and the 
ECB

Central banks 
pursued 
expansionary 
policies in 2019.

Central banks pursued expansionary policies 
in 2019.

Protectionist trade policies and the low levels 
of inflation due to weak demand conditions and 
moderate course of commodity prices, led the 
major central banks to loosen their monetary 
policies.

While the Fed implemented three rate cuts in 
2019, the ECB not only decreased the policy 
rate, but also restarted asset purchases. In the 
reporting period, central banks of many emerging 
countries also made decisions to reduce rates.

In line with the news flow regarding trade wars, 
changes in monetary policies and increased 
geopolitical risks, global capital flows followed a 
fluctuating course.

Outlook

In 2020, global economy is anticipated to gain 
some momentum in conjunction with the recovery 
in developing countries. Developments in global 
trade relations and geopolitical risks will continue 
to drive global risk perception also in 2020, 
as they were in 2019. Nonetheless, improved 
global liquidity conditions with the support of 
expansionary monetary policies will possibly 
strengthen capital flows to emerging countries.

The Global Economy

In 2019, the news flow 
regarding trade wars, 
changes in monetary 
policies, and geopolitical 
risks drove global capital 
flows.

Global economy slowed down in 2019.

Loss of pace in global economic activity that gave 
its first signals in 2018 spread across countries, 
while deepening particularly through the 
manufacturing industry channel. Protectionist 
trade policies and high geopolitical tensions 
caused globally weak investment expenditures 
by diminishing investor confidence, and increased 
the pressure on global growth. Although the US 
economy lost some pace in 2019, it has exhibited 
an outlook more positive than what was projected 
at the onset of the year. The inflation rate in the 
country floated below the target rate of 2%. The 
improvement in the labor market continued. The 
scene to the Brexit-related developments, Europe 
had weak economic activity throughout the year. 
As a result of the pressure that trade measures 
created on exports coupled with weakened 
domestic demand, the growth rate of the Chinese 
economy kept declining in 2019. In other emerging 
markets, however, country-specific conditions led 
decoupled growth performances.

20

İşbank Annual Report 2019The Turkish Economy

The CBRT began 
implementing rate 
cuts in the second 
half of 2019.

Macroeconomic developments in 2019

Budget deficit continued to widen.

Rebalancing in economic activity became 
more evident.

Having contracted annually for three quarters 
starting from the last quarter of 2018, the Turkish 
economy resumed growth trend in the second half 
of 2019. While net exports acted as the greatest 
contributor to economic activity in the first half of 
the year, investment expenditures put significant 
downward pressure on growth. Economic 
activity somewhat recovered with the support of 
consumption expenditures in the third quarter of 
the year although the contribution of net exports 
turned negative. The gradual recovery in economic 
activity gained momentum in the last quarter of 
the year with the low base effect, in addition to 
the rate cuts implemented by the CBRT. Against 
this backdrop, after contracting by 1.9% in the 
first half of 2019, the Turkish economy achieved 
0.9% growth for the whole year.

The slowdown in economic activity was also 
reflected on external balance data. While imports 
volume dwindled by 9.1% in 2019, exports volume 
showed a limited expansion of 2.1%, which 
positively affected the current account balance. As 
a result of weakened domestic demand, coupled 
with the lower oil prices, 12-month cumulative 
current account began posting a surplus from 
June 2019 onwards, which reached a historic 
high of USD 5.4 billion as of September 2019. 
In the months that followed, the upward trend 
in domestic demand caused imports to widen 
and therefore started to drag down the current 
account surplus.

During 2019 when budget deficit expanded, 
one-off revenues limited the deterioration of the 
budget outlook.

Inflation was on a downward trend in the 
second half of the year.

In 2019, inflation displayed a downward trend due 
to weak domestic demand conditions, a relatively 
stable Turkish lira, high base effect, and moderate 
course of commodity prices. Having fallen down 
to its lowest level since December 2016 with 
8.55% in October, annual consumer inflation was 
realized as 11.84% in December, while the annual 
rise in domestic PPI that reflects cost inflation was 
7.36%.

The CBRT quickly decreased its policy rate by 
taking strong steps.

In parallel with the improvement in inflation 
and easier global liquidity conditions, the CBRT 
initiated rate cuts in the second half of 2019. 
Standing at 24% at the onset of 2019, the policy 
rate was brought down to 12% with cuts adding 
up to 1,200 bps in total, which were carried out 
in July, September, October and December. In 
addition, the CBRT also implemented policies 
pursuing financial stability through the changes 
made to required reserve ratios and practices 
throughout the year.

Activitiesİşbank Annual Report 20192019 Developments in the Banking Sector

Following the CBRT’s rate cuts in 2019, a marked increase 
began to be observed in TL loans in the overall banking 
sector.

Limited rise in credit volume

FX deposit volume expanded rapidly.

With the effect of ongoing uncertainties, the share 
of FX deposits to total deposit volume, which 
makes up the main funding source of the banking 
sector, increased in 2019. FX deposit volume grew 
by 28.9% as compared to year-end 2018, while 
the rise in TL deposit volume was 19% in the same 
period. Thus, the increase in total deposit volume 
was registered as 23.8% for the whole year.

Credit expansion in the banking sector was weak 
in the first half of 2019 due to high interest rates, 
continued tendency of companies to reduce their 
debts, and low household demand. Following the 
CBRT’s rate cuts in the second half of the year, a 
marked increase began to be observed in TL loans 
across the sector. In the twelve months to year-
end 2019, TL loans expanded by 14.7% across 
the banking sector. FX loans, on the other hand, 
continued to decline throughout 2019 due to the 
pronounced weakness in investment appetite 
as well as the tendency to deleverage. Against 
this backdrop, the rise in total credit volume was 
registered as 10.4% as compared with year-end 
2018.

14.7%

TL loans grew by 
14.7% in the overall 
banking sector.

22

İşbank Annual Report 2019In 2020, gradual recovery in domestic economic activity 
is projected to continue particularly as the delayed 
consumption expenditures step in.

The capital 
adequacy ratio of 
the banking sector 
went up to 18.4% in 
2019.

The Turkish banking sector preserves its solid 
outlook.

Future outlook

Capital adequacy ratio of the banking sector, 
which was 17.4% at the end of 2018, went up 
to 18.4% at the end of 2019. With the effect 
of restructurings and the increase in NPL ratio, 
the overall sector’s net profit shrank by 10.4% 
as compared to 2018 and went down to TL 46.6 
billion.

In 2020, gradual recovery in domestic economic 
activity is projected to continue particularly as the 
delayed consumption expenditures step in. In this 
period, it is considered that net exports will not 
provide a positive contribution to growth because 
of the downward pressure that the weak outlook 
of European economies creates on Turkey’s 
exports, higher imports that will result from 
recovered domestic demand, and the high base 
effect from 2019.

Project Finance

In 2019, investment appetite plummeted amid 
economic volatilities in domestic and international 
markets, shrank domestic demand, and in the 
absence of economic growth. In such a market 
environment, balance sheets of real sector actors 
with high FC indebtedness showed results that 
might negatively impact corporate banking 
operations in a number of ways.

With the effect of the economic environment 
described above, businesses preferred to 
postpone their investments in 2019, resulting in 
a small number of project finance transactions. 
In the reporting period, the Bank carried on with 
its refinancing/restructuring deals addressing 
mainly hydroelectric and natural gas-fired power 
plants in the electricity generation industry, 
while continuing to evaluate its customers’ 
new financing needs for renewable energy 
investments, and to provide funding to projects 
with adequate feasibility, aligned with its lending 
principles, and compliant with environmental and 
social standards.

İşbank and its Activities in 2019

İşbank extends support 
to sustainable energy 
projects that contribute to 
energy supply in Turkey 
and that meet specific 
environmental and social 
criteria.

Project finance in 2020 

İşbank’s projections for project finance in 2020 are 
as follows: 

-  Reviewing financing demands for renewable 

energy investments and particularly wind power 
plants (WPPs) within the scope of Renewable 
Energy Resources Support Mechanism 
(YEKDEM), 

-  Following up the tender process for mini YEKA 
Solar Power Plant (SPP) with a total installed 
capacity of 1,000 MW which will be organized 
under the Renewable Energy Resources Area 
(YEKA) model,

-  lending for acquisitions and greenfield 

investments, 

-  assessing certain refinancing deals, and 

-  continuing to work on restructuring various 

project loans.

Also, the Bank plans to charge ahead with 
customer contacts regarding the marketing of 
“Solar Loan by İşbank” which was created to 
finance unlicensed SPPs with a maximum installed 
capacity of 5 MW to be set up for self-consumption 

on the roofs of industrial facilities and which 
was introduced in 2019 in keeping with İşbank’s 
mission of being the pioneering and leading bank 
in the renewable energy sector. 

It is anticipated that the tourism industry that has 
embarked upon a recovery period in recent years 
will continue to decouple positively in 2020. The 
Bank is expecting financing demands for tourism 
investments that were suspended during the 
crisis years to become a current topic once again. 

Strong and deep-rooted cooperation with 
international institutions in the financing of 
investments 

Under the securitization deals in 2016, İşbank 
obtained new funds in the amount of USD 111.2 
million from the European Investment Bank (EIB) 
and USD 55 million from the European Bank for 
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The 
Bank kept channeling these new funds for the 
financing of its customers’ investments.

From the MidSEFF fund secured from EIB and 
EBRD, the Bank allocated USD 51.5 million loans 
in 2018 and USD 30 million in 2019 for a total of 
USD 81.5 million. 

The Bank on-lends the fund secured under the 
MidSEFF Program to its customers for financing 
mid-sized investments in renewable energy and 
industrial energy efficiency. Hence, İşbank extends 
support to sustainable energy projects that 
contribute to energy supply in Turkey and that 
meet specific environmental and social criteria.

customers with derivative products and specific 
risk management solutions that are configured 
according to needs and expectations. 

İşbank further consolidated its credibility 
in cash management products with 
technological advancements.

2019 has been a year in which İşbank underlined 
its pioneering and innovative character in the 
area of cash management products. TekCep, an 
innovative product in open banking area, has been 
introduced for use by customers. TekCep lets 
customers view their accounts that are in different 
banks via İşCep and Commercial Internet Banking

payment systems that will make them easier to 
be used by customers and increase the product’s 
security.

Through initiatives in cash management and 
particularly in collections, payment systems and 
digital services, İşbank aims to deliver high value-
added services to customers in a simple, efficient 
and easily-accessible format at low-cost, to 
enhance customer satisfaction, and to contribute 
to business processes of customers.

in the foreign exchange legislation, and 
remained as the solution partner of its 
exporter and importer customers.

In 2019, important modifications were made 
to the Decree no. 32, export legislation and 
the CBRT’s Capital Movements Circular. These 
modifications directly impacted banking practices. 
Accordingly, adjustment to the new foreign 
exchange legislation occupied an important place 
within İşbank’s activities, and infrastructure and 
process tasks have been successfully carried out 
giving the utmost consideration to customer 
satisfaction. In addition, developments targeting 
digitalization of foreign trade processes were 
realized, and focus was placed on decreasing 
operational costs.

İşbank reinforces its presence in foreign trade with 
its long- standing experience, the technology

Preserving its ongoing leadership among private 
banks in 2019 with a market share of 11.9%(*)
(**) in installment commercial loans, which is the 
loan type mainly preferred by above mentioned 
segments for their financing, İşbank’s installment

the financing needs of 
exporters and businesses

taken for making TROY credit cards, which were 
introduced with the slogan “Turkey’s Payment

the Interbank Card Center and Discover Financial 
Services. Along this line, İşbank successfully

cards, and has been the first bank in Turkey 
offering services in this field.

Extensive support to commercial customers 
through collaborations

İşbank further expands the scope of its support 
to actors in commercial life through collaborations 
with various institutions and organizations in line 
with economic and conjunctural developments. 

Taking place among the concrete examples of 
this support are the Treasury-Backed Portfolio 
Guarantee System (PGS) and Portfolio Limit 
System (PLS) realized with the Credit Guarantee 
Fund (CGF) in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Within

and to save them time and labor in the pace of 
commercial life.

Through these improvements that give the 
forefront to customer experience, İşbank targets

İşbank and its Activities in 2019

Having carried on with 
its agricultural banking 
activities in 2019, İşbank 
supported these activities 
with its mobile teams in 
the field.

Collaborations focused on delivering value-
added solutions in agricultural banking

İşbank examines the regional and seasonal 
needs and demands of its customers engaged in 
agribusiness through analytical studies performed 
in the field and at the Head Office. For the purpose 
of delivering the products and services customized 
accordingly with added value, the Bank develops 
collaborations with various institutions and 
organizations in the sector. 

Having carried on with its agricultural banking 
activities in 2019, İşbank supported these 
activities with its mobile teams in the field. 63 
Agricultural Executives working in the Non-
Branch Sales Unit carry out activities in 61 cities 
to directly fulfill farmers’ needs to support the 
national agribusiness. In order to facilitate access 
to banking services, Agricultural Executives visit 
villages and offer on-site service to producers and 
farmers. 

The loan applications of customers engaged in 
the agricultural industry are processed using 
standardized allocation processes entailing 
effective risk management components. The 
Bank employs Credit Bureau of Turkey (KKB) 
Agricultural Loans Assessment System (TARDES) 
in its agricultural loan risk assessment processes. 
The Bank also continued to make use of the 
Agricultural Loan Evaluation System of KKB during 
2019. 

Under the protocol signed between İşbank and 
the Agricultural and Rural Development Support 
Institution (TKDK) in relation to the European 
Union’s “Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance 
- Rural Development” (IPARD) program, efforts 
were carried on in line with the summons for 
applications by TKDK in 2019. 

When the country’s total capacity and storable 
agricultural production quantities are taken into 
consideration, there is a capacity shortage in cold 
storage rooms, which are critical in ensuring a 
balance between supply and price of agricultural 
produce in particular. Within this framework, 
İşbank has developed the Cold Storage Room 
Investment Loan product for fulfilling the 
financing needed to build facilities for storing 
vegetal and animal products and seafood 
until they are delivered from the producers to 
consumers and to modernize the existing facilities.

Digital Transformation in Agriculture

İşbank attaches importance to technological 
transformation in agriculture and takes steps in 
this direction. 

In 2019, the Bank partnered with Vodafone 
Business and initiated the Digital Agriculture 
Project that uses agricultural forecasting and 
early warning systems that rely on advanced 
technology in agricultural activities and 
operations. On the other hand, İmeceMobile, an 
application that runs on smart phones for use in 
agricultural production activities, has been made 
available free-of-charge for all producers. With this 
app, producers are able to access a wide variety of 
valuable information that are important for their 
productions ranging from weather warnings to 
market hall/exchange prices, as well as to İmece 
Card campaigns and information. In addition, 
Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Competition was 
organized for uncovering and supporting ventures 
having innovative projects in the agricultural 
sector, and the winning team qualified to take part

support the country’s businesses with e-exports

over 50 countries.

The Bank began intermediating the Business 
Settlement Plan (BSP) implementation designed

of the service in Turkey were won for the national 
economy and for the Bank.

shopping cart total by making a bank transfer from 
their İşbank accounts without leaving the related 
e-commerce sites.

The preferred bank in salary payments 

In 2019, İşbank carried out developments to 
realize the cash flows of actively working and 
retired personal customers via the Bank by 
intermediating their salary payments, and at 
the same time, to diversify the financial services 
offered to private sector companies. While 
important steps were taken towards the goal of 
acquiring new salary customers, contribution 
was lent to ensuring customer loyalty without 
making a differentiation between personal or 
commercial customers, and to deepening existing 
relationships. Digital channel improvements 
putting retired customers in the center allowed 
this customer group to transfer their salaries 
faster and in a problem-free manner to İşbank.

Solid position in retail cash management 

As part of its phase two efforts for developing 
Personal Finances Management application, 
İşbank introduced several functions designed 
to give our customers greater control over their 
financial transactions, as well as to improve 
customer experiences. Using these functions, 
customers can track the total amount spent within 
a given month and the details of expenses; create 
spending controls divided according to categories, 
cards or total spending criteria, identify offers and 
suggestions aligned with the spending history so 
as to steer the customer to make smart choices.

Global economic activity had a performance below the 
forecasts made at the beginning of 2019, and the Turkish 
economy underwent through a rebalancing process.

Risk

Turkey’s risk 
premium has been 
volatile in 2019.

TREASURY MANAGEMENT

Quantitative easing tendency picked up, with 
the US and the Eurozone leading the trend. 

Global economic activity started to slow down 
in 2019. Central banks in the US and Eurozone 
were anticipated to take tightening steps in 
their monetary policies in 2019, however, 
expansionary policies had to be pursued due to 
the slowdown in global economy and forward-
looking risks. Quantitative easing tendency picked 
up in the second half of the year, with the US 
and the Eurozone leading the trend. Within this 
framework, although global financial conditions 
improved to a certain extent, higher geopolitical 
tensions during the reporting period along with 
the uncertainties regarding trade wars and course 
of monetary policies caused portfolio inflows into 
emerging markets to remain weak.

The ambiguities of the UK’s withdrawal from 
the European Union continued in 2019. With the 
Conservative Party winning the commanding 
majority in the general elections held on 
12 December 2019, the possibility of a no-deal 
Brexit got stronger.

Having contracted in the last two quarters of 
2018, the Turkish economy started to rebalance 
in 2019. In this period, Turkey’s risk premium 
has been volatile. The fluctuations in financial 
markets and geopolitical factors resulted in a 
higher risk perception in the first half of the year. 
With the elimination of uncertainties and the 
alleviated tensions in the neighboring countries 
in the second half of the year, coupled with lower 
inflation and improved global risk appetite, country 
risk premium declined once again in the second 
half of the year.

İşbank Annual Report 2019Turkish banking sector’s 
total assets reached 
TL 4,206 billion as of 2019 
year-end.

Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) 
cut the policy rate sharply.

Shaping the monetary policy in view of inflation 
expectations, pricing behavior and the course 
of other factors affecting inflation, the CBRT 
preserved its tight monetary policy stance in line 
with the high inflation and the risks threatening 
price stability in the first half of the year, therefore 
kept its policy rate, which is the one-week repo 
rate, at 24.00% for the first seven months of the 
year. In addition, during the increased volatility 
in financial markets periods from March 25th to 
April 7th and from May 10th to May 20th, the CBRT 
suspended its weekly repo auctions and increased 
the overnight lending rate up to 25.50%. 

In the second half of the year, the exchange rate 
volatility eased off, inflation declined owing to 
the previous year’s base effect, thus CBRT started 
cutting weekly repo rate in 25 July 2019 and 
cut rates in three consecutive Monetary Policy 
Committee meetings by a total of 1,200 bps to 
12%.

Throughout 2019, the CBRT actively used other 
liquidity management instruments including 
various regulations on required reserves as part of 
macroprudential policies to encourage 
de-dollarization and credit expansion.

Credit demand was weak and asset growth 
remained subdued in the sector. 

In 2019 when economic activity remained weak 
due to the economic rebalancing process, the 
Turkish banking sector’s total assets reached 
TL 4,206 billion as of 2019 year-end. Asset growth 
was 3.2 percentage points lower compared to the 
level in 2018 and has hit the lowest level since 
2012 with 14.9%.

The weak course of economic activity in 2019 
resulted in limited loan demand. The growth rate 
in total loans as of year-end 2019 was 10.4%, the 
lowest level since the 2009 crisis, and FC loans 
(in USD terms) contracted by 7.5%. The ratio of 
performing loans to total assets was 59.9%, 2.4 
percentage points lower compared to the level in 
2018.

Throughout 2019, FC deposits volume remained 
on high levels due to customer preferences. On 
the other hand, the weak course of domestic 
economic activity and the increased saving 
tendency encouraged by the high interest rates 
particularly in the first 7 months of the year 
resulted in an increase in total deposits (excluding 
banking deposits) in the banking sector by 23.8% 
as of 2019 year-end. During the reporting period, 
the ratio of total deposits to total liabilities was 
55.9%, 4.0 percentage points higher compared to 
2018 year-end. 

Since level of FC deposits remained high in the 
Turkish banking sector FC liquidity of banks was 
strong, while the weakened loan demand required 
less foreign funding. The total outstanding 
amount of syndicated loans, securitizations and 
Eurobond issuances of the Turkish banking sector 
declined to USD 50.2 billion as of 2019 year-end 
compared to USD 57.9 billion as of 2018 year-end

Customer Experience

The customer experience vision of İşbank is to 
create a world in which customer journeys are 
simplified, all transactions are rendered user-
friendly, and personalized experiences are offered, 
and always guide its customers and lend them 
a helping hand whenever they need it in this 
world. Based on this vision, the Bank continued 
to work towards enriching all touch points with 
user-oriented, personalized, effective, innovative, 
reliable and visual/intuitional designs, and 
delivering a perfect customer experience.

With 50%, service quality has the biggest impact

INNOVATIVE IMPLEMENTATIONS AND 
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Initiatives aligned with the target of constant 
process improvement 

During 2019, technological transformation of 
İşbank was brought to completion and payment 
applications were revamped, and a uniform and 
integrated technology platform was created 
which is in line with the future needs. In addition, 
multi-channel architectural design resulted 
in leanness, and an integrated and consistent 
channel experience was secured through faster 
introduction of products and services to the market.

Agile Atelier

In 2019, Agile Organization initiatives continued, 
which were launched as a pilot run at the Head 
Office upon establishment of the Agile Atelier in 
2018. In this working model, employees from the 
Bank’s various disciplines work in teams, putting 
customer needs in the center to create value on 
the basis of swift decisions with small trials and 
errors, without getting caught up in obstacles. The 
model covers 240 employees with competencies in 
different areas of business. As at end-2019, 4 “Agile 
Areas” made up of 25 agile teams were working, 
focusing on tradesmen and small enterprises, retail 
customers, AI applications and robotic process 
automation.

In the reporting period, the Bank achieved 
successful results with the “agile working model”, 
and significantly enhanced employee satisfaction. 
The speed of getting work done and employee 
satisfaction improved by up to 75% and 18% 
respectively in select topics within Agile Areas. In 
the AI agile area, deposit pricing was made with 
artificial intelligence, resulting in significant gains, 
whereas commercial agile area increased credit 
disbursements by more than 10 times with the rate 
of delays remaining flat through improvements

made to small business loans allocated automatically. 
While campaign realization speed doubled in the 
retail agile area, the number of transactions covered 
under robotic automation reached 5 million per year 
in the automation agile area.

Being one of the first institutions to implement 
this globally spreading mode of working in Turkey, 
İşbank, with this initiative, claimed the first prize 
at Sardis 2019 Awards, Enterprise Innovation 
Category, and third prize in the IDC’s Turkey 
Finance Technology Awards 2019 Best Enterprise 
Transformation Project category. One of the few 
number of implementations in the world banking 
sector, the Agile Atelier was visited by nearly 100 
external and internal institutions/organization, 
presented as a case study in conferences, and 
featured many times in printed and visual media.

Automated Classification of Customer Orders

In 2019, orders sent to Banking Operations and 
Payment Operations Division from different 
channels began to be classified automatically 
according to transaction content (EFT order, FX 
transfer etc.) using the OCR technology. 

Dynamic Task Management Application (ODİN)

A pilot run was commenced for ODİN (optimized 
and dynamic) application, which dynamically 
distributes the processes in the BPM application 
(business process management) used in the 
common service center (OSM) to different services/ 
divisions with the optimization model created 
in view of their service levels, cut-off hours, 
employee competencies and similar indicators. 
The application secured increase in the back 
office service quality and productivity, and will be 
generalized to cover all OSM processes in 2020.

Robotic Process Automation Technology

İşbank automates its operational processes using 
the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology. 
RPA is a software that imitates human actions and 
is used in the performance of repetitive, high-
volume tasks. Transactions are standardized and 
error-free results are obtained at points using RPA 
technology that generates increased productivity 
and enhanced quality in all processes. 

During 2019, the number of robots increased to 
27 with 22 additional robots purchased. In total, 
62 robotic processes were designed, and robots 
began working on them. Process development for

full-time utilization of robot capacities are going 
on rapidly. Tasks are being assigned to robots in 
areas with standard and high-volume tasks such as 
operations, lending, HR, sales, compliance, capital 
markets and support services, thereby freeing up 
employees to carry out tasks with higher added 
value.

Gathered in a centralized team, robotic process 
development capability was deployed across 
business units through classroom training programs 
carried out in 2019. Robotic process development 
training was given to 97 people from 29 different 
divisions in five different sessions. Thanks to this 
project, employees also benefited from automation 
opportunities in their daily tasks as well.

In 2020, İşbank will keep increasing its customer 
service quality and speed through RPA, which 
it regards as an opportunity for the digital 
transformation of the Head Office. 

Innovative implementations for credit products 

İşbank launched innovative implementations 
associated with credit products in 2019.

Kripton Allocation

In the Kripton Allocation process, information 
received at the time of application is transferred 
to the allocation application, thus preventing 
repetitive data entry in different applications, 
while fields that need to be manually filled by 
users during proposal steps were decreased 
and data began to be automatically extracted 
from other applications and external systems 
as much as possible. On the Commercial Loan 
Application screen, if applications are created for 
customers and products identified within HTK (Fast 
Commercial Loan application) scope, the decision 
engine is run by the system, and applications for 
which a credit line is proposed are directly referred 
to the HTK application, thereby minimizing the 
allocation operation. 

Real Estate Information

“Information on Mortgaged Real Estate” application 
was introduced for the mortgages that were/
will be created in favor of the Bank for loan 
collateralization. In the application, related real 
estates can be queried on the Directorate General 
of Title Deed and Cadaster database using the basic 
title deed data. As a result of the queries, current 
title deed and encumbrance information for a 
given real estate can be reached. As a result of the 

integrations, surveyor and insurance information 
about the real estate can now be obtained from 
external systems, and thus operational errors were 
precluded.

Kripton Disbursement

Kripton Disbursement has been put into wide use 
for TL Installment Commercial Loans. The process 
is designed to include several steps, which are 
entry of repayment schedule for commercial loans 
payable in installments, listing of agreements 
associated with the loan, viewing collaterals, 
approval, file opening and disbursement. With the 
disbursement process, the system automatically 
includes loan expenses and fees in the process, 
makes collection a step of the process, collectively 
lists agreements and documents necessary to be 
obtained for the loan, and creates agreements 
using the customer data and process information.

Commercial Loans Tracking

In an effort to introduce a more effective tracking 
system for commercial loans, Commercial Loans 
Tracking screens were introduced. Work is ongoing 
to set up AI-based “Early Warning and Collection 
Models”.

Novelties in payment systems

As part of the initiatives for revamping the salary 
payment process of commercial customers to 
their employees, infrastructure development 
has been completed for customers making salary 
payments based on file transfers to approve their 
salary payments via İşCep and Commercial Internet 
Banking channel, if they choose to do so, and to 
use their overdraft commercial deposit account in 
case of insufficient account balance. Furthermore, 
pilot work is underway for the new salary process 
that will enable all salary payment transactions 
to be realized in a shorter period of time and in a 
more digital environment. This new application is 
targeted to be generalized in the near future.

Donations, which the Bank intermediates with 
the aim of supporting the activities of various 
institutions and non-governmental organizations 
all over Turkey, can now be made via İşCep as well.

HGS label information change API is put into digital 
software programmers’ use in order to respond to 
information change demands of customers that 
have a large number of HGS labels, such as fleet 
companies.

İşbank Annual Report 2019İşbank’s Dividend Distribution Policy

İşbank’s principles of dividend distribution are set by article 58 of the Articles of Incorporation. According to this article, after deducting all general 
expenses from the income arising from the operations of the Bank within a year, including premiums and 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 contingency 
reserves and partly distributed in the order, manner and at the rates indicated below:

a) 1- 5% to statutory reserve fund,

2- 5% as provision for probable future losses,

3- 10% as first contingency reserve

If the cause for setting aside of a provision and fund for a probable future loss and/or risk doesn’t exist anymore, the remaining fund will be added to first 
contingency reserve (a/3) after distribution of net profit referred to in paragraph (a).

b) From the balance of the net profit after the reserve fund referred to in paragraph (a) above have been set aside, an amount equal to 6% of the paid up 
capital represented by Group A, B and C share certificates, shall be distributed to shareholders as the “first dividend”.

Should the profit realized in any year be insufficient to provide for the first dividend of 6% referred to above, the balance shall be made up and 
distributed out of the contingency reserve fund. Provided, however, that any amount thus taken out of the reserve fund shall constitute a charge to be 
made up out of the profits to be realized in the subsequent years.

c) After the reserved fund and the first dividend referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above have been provided for, the balance of the net profit shall be 
set aside and distributed as follows:

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

• 20% to the employees of the Bank, and

• 10% as second contingency reserve.

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

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 be 
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, twice the amount of the paid up capital represented by Group (A) shares the actual 
amount of the capital represented by Group (B) shares, and the 5/6 (five sixth) amount of the capital represented by Group (C) shares shall be taken as 
the basis, and, total dividends to be paid to the three Groups of shares shall be calculated separately in the distribution of the second dividend.

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, or carried over to the following year, or up to 80% of such amount 
be distributed to the shareholders by dividing of 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, due to the 
reason that 20 Group (A) shares each with a nominal value of TL 500 (this amount is related to the period prior to the Law regarding the Monetary Unit 
of the Turkish Republic (No:5083) on which the rate of change has not been applied) have been changed with 1 Group (A) share with a nominal value of 1 
Kurus, 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.

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

İşbank Annual Report 2019Summary Report of the Board of Directors

Esteemed Shareholders,

Welcome to our Bank’s 96th Ordinary General Meeting. 

As we present the Board of Directors’ Report, the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement covering the results of our activities in 2019 fiscal year for 
your review and approval, we respectfully greet all of you here today. 

During 2019, global capital flows followed a fluctuating course in parallel with the trade wars, changes in monetary policies, and aggravated geopolitical 
risks.

Having started to contract on an annual basis from the last quarter of 2018, the Turkish economy shrank by 1.9% in the first half of the year. Economic 
activity resumed growth trend in the third quarter of the year with the positive contribution of consumption expenditures although the contribution of 
net exports was reversed to the negative. Economic recovery gained momentum in the last quarter of the year with the low base effect coupled with the 
rate cuts implemented by the CBRT. 

While the credit expansion in the banking sector was weak in the first half of 2019, there was a marked increase in TL loans in the overall sector following 
the CBRT’s rate cuts in the second half of the year. While TL loans expanded by 14.7% across the banking sector as at year-end 2019, the rise in total 
credit volume was registered as 10.4% as compared with year-end 2018 due to the decline in FX loans and the pronounced weakening in investment 
appetite.

While FX deposit volume grew by 28.9% as compared to year-end 2018, the rise in TL deposit volume was 19% in the same period. Thus, the increase in 
total deposit volume was registered as 23.8% for the whole year.

When compared to the end of the previous year, as of 31 December 2019,

• Our loans grew by 4.7% to TL 270.4 billion,

• Our deposits expanded by 20.7% to TL 295.9 billion,

• Our total assets increased by 12.4% to TL 468.1 billion,

• Our shareholders’ equity went up by 18.4% to TL 58.9 billion,

• and our net profit amounted to TL 6.1 billion. 

During 2019, the Bank’s balance sheet was dynamically managed with a focus on asset quality and profitability. Standing at 6.5% at year-end, our non-
performing loans ratio was below the private banks’ average in 2019. While total deposits continued to be increased, the Bank also continued to utilize 
non-deposit funding sources, with a cost sensitive approach, in domestic and international markets in order to diversify funding base. 

Standing at 17.9% as of 2019 year-end, our capital adequacy ratio continued to stay well-above the regulatory requirement. At the end of 2019, our 
Bank posted a return on assets of 1.4% and a return on equity of 11.4%. 

Esteemed Shareholders,

We hereby submit our Annual Report, Balance Sheet and Income Statement pertaining to our 2019 activities for your review and approval. We would 
like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Turkish public for their steadfast trust in our Bank, to the institutions of the Turkish State for 
their continuous support, to our employees for their dedicated efforts, and we extend our respects to you, our valued shareholders, for having honored 
this General Meeting with your presence.

practices, iii) accounting and financial reporting systems function securely and in integrity, and iv) information is provided promptly.

Compliance

Compliance is the foremost duty and responsibility of all managers and employees of the Bank and financial subsidiaries which are subject to 
consolidation at any level. The functions and activities regarding compliance executed in the Head Office Divisions, Branches of the Bank local and 
abroad, financial subsidiaries which are subject to consolidation are monitored through the corporate compliance activities conducted within the 
Corporate Compliance Division, which reports to the Board of Directors.

Corporate Compliance Division operates with the purpose to provide maximum contribution in order to manage the compliance risk and control this risk 
in an appropriate and efficient manner within the scope of materiality and risk based approach and in this regard to execute and manage the activities of 
the Bank and financial subsidiaries which are subject to consolidation continuously in compliance with the relevant laws, regulations and standards.

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 four sub-units, namely, Subsidiaries and Foreign Branches Compliance, 
Banking Activities Compliance, Fiscal Offences and Sanctions and International Obligations. 

The duties and responsibilities of the Compliance Officer as stated in the Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime Law and other related regulations 
in effect are fulfilled by the Head of Corporate Compliance Division, who is the legal “Compliance Officer” of the Bank as well. The activities regarding 
the prevention of laundering proceeds of crime and finance of terror in our Bank are executed in an express and efficient manner within the context of 
related legislations and the Bank’s Policy and the Compliance Program, which have been prepared in accordance with these legislations.

Bank’s Compliance Risk Management Policy and Policy for Combating Financial Crimes and Sanctions are stated in “Investor Relations / Corporate 
Governance” link at our Bank’s website www.isbank.com.tr in English and Turkish.

The results of the activities regarding compliance are also regularly monitored and evaluated by the senior management and the Board of the Bank.

Risk Management

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 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.

İşbank Annual Report 2019Information on Risk Management Policies 
Applied per Risk Types

Risk policies and procedures constitute the internal rules and principles which are approved and enforced by the Board considering Risk Management 
Division suggestions and executed by the senior management. 

These policies that have been put into effect in accordance with international standards, stipulate general standards regarding the organization and 
scope of risk management function, risk measurement methods, roles and responsibilities of the risk management group, risk limit setting methodology, 
rules governing the breach of limits and confirmations that have to be given in various situations. 

In 2020, the slowdown in global economic activity, high indebtedness, global trade tensions and geopolitical developments are expected to create risks 
on global financial stability. In addition, the monetary policies to be implemented by the central banks of developed countries, especially FED are of great 
importance. It is expected that FED will continue its expansionary monetary policy and the increase in the trend of global indebtedness will continue. 
Considering the fact that favorable conditions recently occurred for emerging countries may vanish rapidly, credit and liquidity risks are anticipated to 
maintain their importance.

Apart from the financial risks mentioned above, the most important non-financial risk element of the Bank is considered to arise from information 
technologies risk. In parallel with the global examples, the risk of financial and reputational losses as a result of cyber events in our country is at the 
forefront. In addition, associated with digitalization, risk factors arising due to enhancements and changes in banking products, services and applications, 
considered to remain important. 

To ensure the conformity of the Bank’s risk appetite with business plan and prevailing market environment, risk limits which are set by the Board of 
Directors and defined in the Bank’s risk appetite framework are monitored. In this context, breaches in market, liquidity, structural interest rate, credit and 
operational risk limits are analyzed by Risk Management Division and reported to the Audit Committee.

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.

İşbank Annual Report 2019Financial Informationand Risk ManagementInformation on Risk Management Policies Applied per Risk Types

Credit Risk Policy

Credit risk is defined as any situation where the counterparty obligation will not or cannot be fulfilled 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. The Board reviews credit risk policies and 
strategies annually at minimum. Senior management is responsible for the execution of credit risk policies. 

The findings of independent review of loans and credit risk are reported to the Board and the senior management regularly. Monitoring credit 
risk includes parameters such as maturity, industry, collateral, geography, currency, loan type, and credit risk ratings as a whole, in addition to the 
assessments on the obligor and the facility. 

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. 

Breaching risk limits until the regulatory limits are treated as “exceptional procedure”. The authorization for exceptional procedure resides with the Board 
of Directors. The results of controls and assessments related to risk limit breaches are presented to senior management and the Board of Directors by 
Internal Audit and Risk Management Functions. 

İşbank employs internal credit risk rating systems that are developed to service the needs for credit risk management, credit granting decisions, 
credit process audits and credit provision calculations. Internal audit and risk management functions regularly assess the internal credit risk rating 
systems according to their compatibility with the structure, size and complexity of the Bank’s operations. If diverse circumstances required, necessary 
adjustments and/or modifications are made to the system. Internal credit risk rating systems are assessed by the Risk Committee and approved by the 
Board of Directors.

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 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. 

108

İşbank Annual Report 2019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 program is defined as the collection of studies and analyses to assess the risks generated by Bank’s activities and the program covers the 
methodologies, assumptions and scenarios related with those analyses. In order to ensure the validity and appropriateness of the results; stress testing 
program 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 program oriented to assess the risks both from an 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 program as a whole. The Board of Directors ensures that the outputs of the stress 
testing program are evaluated and used as an input for decision making on the relevant fields. Executing the analyses included in stress testing program, 
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 program, 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. 

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”. 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 management process combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches in measurement and assessment. Apart from the 
calculations executed within the scope of legislation, “advanced measurement methods” “impact - likelihood analysis”, “loss event analysis”, “scenario 
analysis” ”, “stress testing” and “key risk indicators” are utilized.

All operational risks inherited in the banking processes and information systems, risk levels of new products and processes and outsourcing risk, 
operational losses incurred by the Bank are monitored continuously, risk assessments are updated regularly and reported to the Risk Committee and the 
Board in a timely manner.

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.

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.

Information Systems Management Policy

The purpose of Information Systems Management Policy is to determine the principles which will constitute a basis for the management of information 
systems that the Bank uses to fulfill its activities and the procedures in order to define, measure, control, monitor, report and manage the risks derived 
from using information technologies. With the Policy, the information technologies which is an important element for sustaining Bank activities 
is intended to be managed effectively as information systems management, being handled as a part of corporate governance practices. On the 
management of Bank’s information systems and all the elements relating to those systems articles of this Policy are applied. 

Risks derived from information technologies are basically assessed within the scope of Bank’s operational risk management. 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 the 
framework of Bank’s integrated risk management.

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

TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” Standard and recognition of impairment on 
financial assets and related significant 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: 

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.

 - 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. 

 - The Bank’s determines fair value of its financial assets, reflected at fair value in 

accordance with the relevant business model category, according to Level 3 if there are 
financial inputs that are not observable in the fair value measurement and that contain 
significant estimates and assumptions.

 - 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.

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.

İşbank Annual Report 2019 
It has been addressed whether there have been any significant changes in regulations 
governing pension liabilities, employee benefits plans 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.

Pension Fund Obligations

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 at 31 December 2019 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 uncertainity 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 
another entity who are in the same audit network within our firm and the assessment 
of used estimations and the judgements and testing the assement 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 judgements used.

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.

Financial Informationand Risk Managementİşbank Annual Report 2019 
Independent Auditor’s Report

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, 2019 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.

Additional paragraph for convenience translation to English

As explained in detail in Note I of Section Three, the effects of differences between accounting principles and standards set out by regulations in conformity with BRSA Accounting and 
Financial Reporting Legislation, accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements are to be distributed and International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified in the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unconsolidated financial 
statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles generally 
accepted in such countries and IFRS.

SECTION II: UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Accounting Standards (TAS) 
published the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority for the matters not regulated by the aforementioned legislations. 

In accordance with the ‘Communique amending the Communiqué on the Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes to be Announced to Public by Banks’ published in the 
Official Gazette dated 1 February 2019 with No. 30673, the accompanying previous period financial statements were made compatible with the current period financial statement formats. 
Accounting policies applied in the current period are consistent with previous periods financial statements except for ‘TFRS 16 Leases’. 

As of January 1, 2019, the Bank have started to recognize operating leases in accordance with the “TFRS 16 Leases” standard which was published in the Official Gazette dated April 16, 
2018 No. 30393. In accordance with the applicable legislations of transition of the standard, the prior period financial statements and footnotes have not been restated. Explanations on 
the application and effects of TFRS 16 are disclosed in footnote XXIV, section three. 

Additional paragraph for convenience translation to English 

The differences between accounting principles, as described in these preceding paragraphs and accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which unconsolidated financial 
statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified in these unconsolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these 
unconsolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows in accordance with the 
accounting principles generally accepted in such countries and IFRS. 

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 maker 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 monitoring the sectoral developments and the yields of alternative investment instruments, fixed and floating rate placements are 
made. 

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 in 2018 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

Since 2018, 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.

Forward and 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

Beginning from January 1, 2018, 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. 

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 other than financial assets that are 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 income statement.

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 the Bank determines that there are significant changes between the first conditions in the 
new conditions of the revised financial asset, 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.

İşbank Annual Report 2019Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended December 31, 2019(Convenience Translation of Unconsolidated Audit Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note I in Section Three)(Amounts expressed in thousand Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)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 when financial asset is disposed, the related fair 
value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the income 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 Amortised 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, net of any provision for impairment. 
Interest income from financial assets measured at amortized cost 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.

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 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 first stage. 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 the event 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 bank’s internal 
rating and probability of default of the same loan on reporting date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on bank’s 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 into account current and forecasts of future economic information, 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 estimates include Industrial 
Production Index and basic financial 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.

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 into account the future risk mitigation processes 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.

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 review 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.

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

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 are measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets held for sale are not amortized or 
depreciated and presented in the financial statements separately. 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 are composed 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

Tangible assets purchased before January 1, 2005, are presented in the financial statements at their inflation adjusted acquisition costs as at December 31, 2004, and the items purchased 
in the subsequent periods are presented at acquisition costs less accumulated amortization and impairment provisions. In 2015, the Bank, has been changed its accounting policies from 
historical cost method to revaluation method for the real estate properties which are held for own use in accordance with “TAS 16-Property, Plant and Equipment”. 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 companies in 2018 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.

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:

Buildings

Safe Boxes

Other Movables

Assets acquired under 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”.

As of January 1, 2019 the Bank have started to recognize 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 usage right 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. 
Explanations on the application and effects of TFRS 16 are disclosed in footnote XXIV, section three. 

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, 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.

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. Provisions are calculated based on the best 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.

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. 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, the actuarial gains and losses occurred is recognized under 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.

Financial Informationand Risk Managementİşbank Annual Report 2019Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended December 31, 2019Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.(Convenience Translation of Unconsolidated Audit Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note I in Section Three)(Amounts expressed in thousand Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)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 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 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 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 the licensed actuary for the year ended December 31, 2019. And provided full provision for the total 
amount of technical and actual deficit in the actuarial report in the financial statements. The actuarial assumptions used in the related actuarial report are given in Section Five Note II-i-5-1.

Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Mensupları Munzam Sosyal Güvenlik ve Yardımlaşma Sandığı Vakfı (İşbank Members’Supplementary Pension Fund) was founded due to provide additional social 
security and solidarity rights in addition to compulsory social security contribution, which has been founded by the Bank as per the provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish 
Civil Code.

XVIII. Taxation

1. Corporate Tax:

With the change in Law no: 7061, in accordance with the Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law No: 5520, the corporate tax rate is calculated at the rate of 22% for 2018, 2019 and 2020 
taxation period’s income. 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 temporary provisional tax for the year 2019 has paid in February 2020 and has offset with the current 
period’s corporate tax. 

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 are 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. 

2. Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of 
taxable profit. 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 included in the tax base 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 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. According to a change in Corporate Tax Law, which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017 and numbered 30261, Article 91 of the Law numbered 
7061, Corporate Tax has been increased to 22% from 20% in order to be applied to the profits of the institutions for the taxation periods of 2018, 2019 and 2020. Within this context 
deferred tax is calculated using the related rates considering the periods when deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized. 

Even though, according to BRSA Article numbered BDDK.DZM 2/13/1-1a-3, dated December 8, 2004, there is no deferred tax allocated for general and free provision, the Bank has started 
to calculate deferred tax for the expected credit loss for Stage 1 and Stage 2 loans since January 2018. However, deferred tax is not calculated for free provisions. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown in financial tables by way of offsetting.

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 September, 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 are deducted from corporate tax payable and the difference between withholding amount and corporate 
tax payable is discounted from income tax provided that the withholding tax amount is higher than corporate tax amount.

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. On the other hand, if the specific balance within the scope of the regulations’ tax 
base of the relevant year, is higher than the amount found the corporate tax payments are made as temporary tax payments in four installments in July and October of the relevant year and 
in January and April of the following year. Relevant temporary tax payments are deducted from the corporate tax that is finalized until the end of January of the second year following the 
relevant year. On the other hand, if the tax base is under the determined balance, corporate tax is paid by the end of September following the year that the profit is made. 

Bahrain 

Banks in Bahrain are not subject to tax according to the regulations of the country. 

The Republic of Iraq (Iraq) 

The corporate tax is 15% in Iraq. In central government-dependent cities tax is paid in the following year to the related tax administration by the end of May at the latest and in the cities 
under the administration of Northern Iraq tax is paid in the following year to the related tax administration by the end of September, at latest and the financial statements must be 
presented, and accrued taxes must be paid. In accordance with the agreement reached between the Central Administration of Iraq and the Northern Iraq Regional Government at the end of 
2018, the corporate tax of the Bank’s Iraq Branches will be paid in Erbil in a consolidated manner starting from the 2017 financial 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

Earnings per share - (in full TL)

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 to make decisions related to the 

funds to be allocated to the segment and to evaluate the performance of the segment, and

 - which has its separate financial information.

Information on the Bank’s business segmentation and related information is explained in Section IV, Note XII.

XXIV. Other Disclosures

As of January 1, 2019, operating leases within the framework of the “TFRS 16-Leases” standard are recognized in a similar manner to financial leases. During transition by the Bank, 
simplified application was preferred, and, in this context, comparative information has not been restated in the financial statements. According to the standard, the lease agreements are 
examined; their components, the lease periods and the amounts are evaluated by categories, by taking the exceptions and similar items into account. 

For the contracts considered within the scope of TFRS 16, at the initial application date and/or at the time of signing the contract, the leasing liability and the right to use asset are reflected 
in the financial statements. 

The direct costs incurred by the lessee in the beginning were evaluated, it is concluded that amounts are insignificant, initial costs are not included in the right of use asset. In accordance 
with TFRS 16, the right of use asset can be measured with its cost or fair value, and the Bank measures the right of use assets with its cost. The net 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 recognized as right of use asset are subject to straight-line depreciation considering the lease period. Interest expenses related to the lease liabilities and foreign 
exchange differences are associated with statement of income. 

The effect of TFRS 16 on financial statements, in accordance with the selected transition method and related accounting policies, is given below.

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 colletarals 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 collateral. 

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.

6. (i) The share of the Bank’s receivables from the top 100 and 200 cash loan customers in the overall cash loan portfolio stands at 28%, 36%, respectively (December 31, 2018: 28%, 
36%). 

(ii) The share of the Bank’s receivables from the top 100 and 200 non-cash loan customers in the overall non-cash portfolio stands at 45%, 57% respectively (December 31, 2018: 46%, 
58%). 

(iii) The share of the Bank’s cash and non-cash receivables from the top 100 and 200 loan customers in the overall cash and non-cash loans stands at 17%, 23%, respectively (December 31, 
2018: 18%, 24%). 

Companies that are among the top loan customers ranked according to cash, non-cash and total risks are leaders in their own sectors, the loans advanced to them are in line with their 
volume of industrial and commercial activity. A significant part of such loans is extended on a project basis, with their repayment sources being analyzed in accordance with the banking 
principles to be considered as satisfactory and associated risks are determined and duly covered by obtaining appropriate guarantees when deemed necessary.

7. The total value of the stage 1 and stage 2 expected credit loss allocated for credit risk stands at TL 5,154,031.

8. The Bank measures the quality of its loan portfolio by applying different rating/scoring models on cash commercial/corporate loans, retail loans and credit cards. The breakdown of the 
rating/scoring results, which are classified as “Strong”, “Standard” and “Below Standard” by considering their default features, is shown below.

The loans whose borrowers’ capacity to fulfill their obligations is very good, are defined as “Strong”, whose borrowers’ capacity to fulfill its obligations in due time is reasonable, are defined 
as “Standard” and whose borrowers’ capacity to fulfill their obligations is poor, are defined as “Below Standard”.

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 sixth article of “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital 
Adequacy of Banks”, is based on the Fitch Ratings’ international rating. While receivables from resident banks in abroad which is assessed in the risk class of “Contingent and Non-Contingent 
Receivables from Banks and Brokerage Agencies” and receivables from central governments which is assessed in the risk class of “Contingent and Non-Contingent Receivables from Central 
Governments or Central Banks” will be subjected to risk weights with the scope of ratings; therefore domestic resident banks accepted as unrated, the risk weight is applied according to 
receivables from relevant banks, type of exchange and original maturity.

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:

III. Explanations on Currency Risk

Foreign currency position risk for the Bank is a result of the difference between the Bank’s assets denominated in foreign currencies 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 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” ratio which is a part of the legal requirement and 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) 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. 

The results of the measurements made on currency risk are reported to the Top 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 in TL are as follows:

Explanations on Interest Rate Risk

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. The method of 
average maturity gap according to the repricing dates 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 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.

(***) The effect on the shareholders’ equity is arising from the change of the fair value of securities followed under Financial Assets Available for Sale.

VI. Explanations on Liquidity Risk Management and Liquidity Coverage Ratio 

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 liquid 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 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, aforementioned 
committees have to report the precautions taken and their results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.

(*) The simple arithmetic average calculated for the last three months of the weekly simple arithmetic average.

With respect to prior period’s averages, an increase in foreign currency and total liquidity coverage ratio have been observed for the fourth quarter of 2019. The foreign currency liquidity 
coverage ratio has increased due to the increase in the stock of high quality liquid assets. Total and foreign currency liquidity coverage ratios are currently far above the minimum level 
(respectively for 100% and 80% in 2019) 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.

(*) Includes subordinated bonds which are classified on the balance sheet as subordinated loans.

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 m arket 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.

XI. Explanations on Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Explanations according to “Communiqué on Public Disclosures about Risk Management” published on the Official Gazette No.29511 dated October 23, 2015 are included below. The Bank

a. General Information on Risk Management and Risk Weighted Amounts

a.1. 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 Risk Management Department, which operates under the Bank’s Board of Directors, has been organized as Asset-Liability Management Risk Unit, Credit Risk and Economic Capital Unit, 
Operational Risk and Subsidiary Risk Unit and Validation 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 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 planningand 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 therisk appetite framework and based on the components of the main risk types,

 -

In addition to the assesment of the loan portfolio on the basis of counterparties and loan types, monitoring of the portfolio as a whole according to parameters such as maturity, sector, 
geography, risk ratings, arrears, defaults,

 - Measuring the assets and liabilities management risk, and reporting of measurement results,

 - Monitoring of all risks assessed in the context of operational risk, loss events that occurred in the Bank and risk indicators, 

 - Testing the measurement results in terms of completeness and realiability,

 - Analysing the level of risk indicators under various stress scenarios,

 - Examining various concentration indicators and the course followed by these indicators,

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 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 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 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 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. Key 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 Key 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. Excess risk limits up to legal requirements and boundaries 
limits are considered as an exception. The Board of Directors has the authority in exception process. The results of the control of risk limits and the evaluations of these limits are presented 
by Internal Audit and Risk Management Group to Key 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 is defined as “the probability of loss due to the inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, external factors or legal risks”. All risks except financial risks are 
considered within the scope of operational risk. Studies consisted 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 uses that obtained from “Impact-
Probability Analysis”, “Missing Event Data Analysis”, “Risk Indicators” methods. Methods prescribed by legal regulations are applied as minimum in determining the capital requirement level 
for the operating risk.

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 and the Board of Directors.

Validation Operations

Risk measurement models are validated at least once a year under international standards. The performance and soundness of the models are evaluated by the validation unit by statistical 
methods, the compliance of the processes applied within the scope of the model with the related laws, communiqués and regulations are analyzed, and the appropriateness of the data 
quality and IT applications used in the models is monitored. The results of the validation activities are reported to the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.

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 ineterest 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.1.4. Additional Explanation About the Credit Quality of Assets

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. Restructuring in performing loans are made by granting a new loan or extending the 
term date of credit given to customer by Bank. Restructiring 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 2019 is TL 1,569,431.

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. 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 style 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” which is published on the Official Gazette 
no:29511 dated November 23, 2015. Counterparty credit risk valuation method based on the calculation of fair values of the derivative transactions is implemented. In calculating the 
potential credit risk, the amount of the contract is multiplied by the rates given in the regulation. The replacement costs of derivative instruments are calculated based on the valuation of 
the related contracts according to the fair value method.

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. On the other hand, the risk-reducing effect of such agreements is not considered in the calculation of the counterparty credit risk under the capital adequacy

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 Comittee and to the Board via the Audit Committee by the Risk Management Deparment.

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.

h. The interest rate risk of the banking book items:

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 Bank Asset-Liability 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.

The interest rate risk of the banking book item in accordance with the legal regulations is measured and monitored on a monthly basis within the scope of the Regulation about 
Measurement and Assessment of Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Accounts by Standard Shock Method. In the calculations committed due to the mentioned regulations, behavioral 
maturity modeling method is used for the deposits with low sensitivity to interest rate changes and demand deposits which is original maturities is longer than contractual maturities.

İşbank Annual Report 2019Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended December 31, 2019(Convenience Translation of Unconsolidated Audit Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note I in Section Three)(Amounts expressed in thousand Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)At the Ordinary Meeting of General Assembly of 2018 held in the current period, it has been decided to increase the share capital of the mentioned company by TL 3,982,230, all to be 
covered by common receivables. Whereas the Bank’s ownership ratio in the company has not changed, the nominal value of the shares owned increased from TL 6 to TL 461,833. Amount in 
question is recognized under Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations account. 

The remaining loan amount after the capital increase amounting to TL 1,886,716 (31.12.2018: TL 2,126,927), is accounted under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The 
amount of impairment recognized for the total asset converted into loan and capital is TL 251,391 and is classified under the specified item. 

Assets, which are converted into loan and capital, amounted TL 2,348,549 are measured at fair value under TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard and TFRS 5 “Assets Held For Sale and 
Discontinued Operations” Standard. The mentioned loan’s fair value is determined by an independent valuation company, considering the various valuation method such as discounted 
cash flows, similar market multipliers, similar transaction multipliers in the same sector, market value and analyst reports. The potential changes in the fundamental estimations and 
assumptions in the valuation work may affect the carrying fair value of the asset. Related asset balance is followed as Level 3 within the scope of “TFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement” 
standard.

If the growth rate and risk-free return rate on investment used in the discounted cash flow method in the valuation report are increased or decreased by 0.25%, provided that all other 
variables are constant, the total value of assets recognized in the financial statements and profit before tax will increase by about TL 55 million (full TL amount) or will decrease by TL 49 
million (full TL amount).

service obligations, who have been dismissed as defined in the related regulation or to the female employees who have voluntarily quit within one year after the date of their marriage. 
In accordance with the related regulations, the amount of employee termination benefits is TL 6,379.86 (exact TL amount as at December 31, 2019), which is one month salary for each 
service year and cannot exceed the base wage ceiling for employee termination benefits. A provision for severance pay to allocate that employees need to be paid upon retirement is 
calculated by estimating the present value of probable amount. The liability of the Bank arising from severance payment is determined in accordance with the actuarial report prepared by 
an independent valuation company. As of 31.12.2019, provision amounting to TL 1,168,051 is reflected in the financial statements (December 31, 2018: TL 945,548).

The main actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the employee termination benefits are as follows: 

 -

 -

In the calculation, the discount rate is taken as 11.70%, inflation rate is 7,20% and real rate of increase is 2%.

In the calculation, the ceiling at the level of TL 6,379.86 (full TL amount) which is valid as of December 31, 2019 is taken as the basis.

 - The age of retirement is considered as the earliest age possible that an individual can retire.

On the other hand, after the transfer, the currently paid health benefits will be revised within the framework of the Social Security Institution legislation and related regulations.

i.4.2. Provision of credit cards and promotion of banking services applications: As at December 31, 2019 The Bank has recognized provisions amounting to TL 89,062 for the amount which 
is recognized within the framework of credit card expenses of credit card customers or promotions for banking services. (December 31, 2018: TL 85,673).

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 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 this decision, 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. Finally 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 a case file, 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 favor of the Bank, has been reversed by the majority of the votes of the Assembly

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 previous periods.As a part of the legal process, the Bank has not received positive results from the individual

options.

flows for the year then ended in accordance with the prevailing accounting principles and standards set out as in accordance with “Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and 
Safeguarding of Documents” published in the Official Gazette no.26333 dated November 1, 2006 and other regulations on accounting records of Banks published by Banking Regulation 
and Supervision Agency (BRSA), circulars, interpretations published by BRSA and “BRSA Accounting and Financial Reporting Legislation” which includes the provisions of Turkish Financial 
Reporting Standards (TFRS) for the matters which are not regulated by these regulations.

Basis for Qualified Opinion 

As explained in Section Five Part II-i.4.5, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2019 include a free provision at an amount of TL 1,125,000 thousands 
of which TL 1,200,000 thousands was provided in prior years and TL 75,000 thousands reversed in the current period by the Group 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 Group 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. Key audit 
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated 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

TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” Standard and recognition of impairment on finan-
cial assets and related significant 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: 

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.

 - Amount of on and off balance sheet items that are subject to expected credit loss 

 - Reviewing and testing of processes which are used to calculate expected credit losses 

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 Group 
uses significant judgment on the assessment of the business model and identification 
of the complex contractual cash flow characteristics of financial instruments. 

 - The Group’s determines fair value of its financial assets, reflected at fair value in 

by involving our Information technology and Process audit specialists.

 - Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s key judgements, estimates and 
data sources used in expected credit loss calculations considering the standard 
requirements, sectorial 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.

accordance with the relevant business model category, according to Level 3 if there are 
financial inputs that are not observable in the fair value measurement and that contain 
significant estimates and assumptions.

 - Reviewing the Group’s classification and measurement models of the financial 

instruments (financial instruments determined as Level 3 according to fair value 
hierarchy) and comparing with TFRS 9 requirements

 - Policies implemented by the Group 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.

 - Evaulating 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.

assets.

216

İşbank Annual Report 2019 
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 the audit teams of 
our subsidiaries and the 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.

Pension Fund Obligations

Employees of the Group 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 XX” 
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 at December 31, 2019 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 uncertainity 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 Group management fair value calculations of the 
selected derivative financial instruments which is carried out by valuation experts of 
another entity who are in the same audit network within our firm and the assessment 
of used estimations and the judgements and testing the assement 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 judgements used.

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 Group 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report

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 consolidated 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 and its subsidiaries’ 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 Bank and its subsidiaries’ 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, 2019 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.

Additional paragraph for convenience translation to English

As explained in detail in Note I of Section Three, the effects of differences between accounting principles and standards set out by regulations in conformity with BRSA Accounting and 
Financial Reporting Legislation, accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which the accompanying consolidated financial statements are to be distributed and International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements 
are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in

SECTION THREE: EXPLANATION ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES

I. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated 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 Accounting Standards (TAS) published the 
Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority for the matters not regulated by the aforementioned legislations.

In accordance with the ‘Communique amending the Communique on the Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes to be Announced to Public by Banks’ published in the 
Official Gazette dated 1 February 2019 with No. 30673, the accompanying previous period financial statements were made compatible with the current period financial statement formats. 
Accounting policies applied in the current period are consistent with previous periods financial statements except for ‘TFRS 16 Leases’.

As of January 1, 2019 the Bank and the Companies included in the consolidation have started to recognize operating leases in accordance with the TFRS 16 “leases” standard which was 
published in the Official Gazette dated April 16, 2018, no. 30393. In accordance with the applicable legislations of transition of the aforementioned standard, the prior period financial 
statements and footnotes have not been restated. Explanations on the application and effects of TFRS 16 are disclosed in footnote XXVII, section three.

Additional paragraph for convenience translation to English

The differences between accounting principles, as described in these preceding paragraphs and accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which consolidated financial 
statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified in these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these 
consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows in accordance with the 
accounting principles generally accepted in such countries and IFRS.

The accounting policies and the valuation principles used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are presented in detail below.

II. Strategy for Use of Financial Instruments and on 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 other activity. As for the non-deposit liabilities, funds are collected through medium and short-
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). The liquidity of the Group 
and the banking system can be perpetually 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 close monitoring the developments in the sector fixed and floating rate placements are made according to 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.

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, 2006, as at 
the current period, the Parent Bank has no subsidiaries, qualified as credit institutions or financial institutions, excluded from consolidation. Detailed information about the consolidated 
subsidiaries 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 
the Parent Bank and its consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated reciprocally. Non-controlling interests in the net income and in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries are calculated 
separately from the Group’s net income and the Group’s shareholders’ equity. Non-controlling interests are presented separately in the balance sheet and in the income statement.

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Bank performed necessary correction to ensure uniformity accounting policies used by the subsidiaries which are included in the 
consolidated financial statements with the Parent Bank’s. On the other hand, insurance companies under consolidation are obliged to carry their activities in accordance with the regulations 
issued by Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry Undersecretariat of Treasury and in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, financial reporting presentations of these companies 
are in accordance with the insurance legislation of the Undersecretariat of Treasury.

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. 

Details of positive goodwill arising from Bank’s investments to its subsidiaries in investment basis are as follows:

Name of the Investment
İş Finansal Kiralama A.Ş.
Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş.
Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta Şirketi
JSC İşbank
Total

Amount of the Positive Consolidation Goodwill
611
4,792
1,767
28,804
35,974

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:

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.

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.

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.

2. Presentation of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities which are not credit or financial institutions in consolidated financial 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” as of March 31, 2018.

Forward, Option Contracts and Derivative 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 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. 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 followed under off-balance sheet 
accounts. Derivative transactions are valued 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 statement income.

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.

V. Interest Income and Expenses

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 in 
interest income and calculates expected credit loss provisions on these amounts according to the related methodology.

VI. Fees and Commission Income and Expenses

Wages and commissions other than those that are 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 

As of January 1, 2018, the Bank and its subsidiaries 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 Amortised 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 party to the contractual provisions of the 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 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 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 Group derecognizes the financial asset.

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial assets other than financial assets that are 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 the Group determines that there are significant changes between the first conditions in the 
new conditions of the revised financial asset, 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 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 intruments that are classified as 
at fair value through other comprehensive income is also recognized in income statement.

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 when financial asset is disposed, the related fair 
value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the income 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 a 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 at Measured at Amortised 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, net of any provision for impairment. 
Interest income from financial assets measured at amortized cost are recognized in the income statement as an “interest income”. 

The Group’s loans and receivables from leasing transactions and factoring receivables are evaluated within the framework of existing business models and depending on these evaluations, 
they can be classified as Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost.

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, in the current period the Bank recognizes expected credit loss allowance on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at 
amortized cost and 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:

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 first stage. 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 the event 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.

238

İşbank Annual Report 2019Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended December 31, 2019(Convenience Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note I in Section Three)(Amounts expressed in thousand Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)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. 

The expected credit loss of 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 can not 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 into account current and forecasts of future economic information, including macroeconomic factors. Three scenarios, 
base scenario, optimistic scenario and the worst scenario, are used in forecasting studies made by macroeconomic models. The macroeconomic variables used in these estimates are 
Industrial Production Index, and fundamental financial 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.

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 into account the future risk mitigation processes 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, 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 Group.

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.

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

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 Group’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 are measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets held for sale are not amortized or 
depreciated and presented in the financial statements separately. 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 is 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 losses. 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. Such 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

Tangible assets purchased before January 1, 2005, are presented in the financial statements at their inflation adjusted acquisition costs as at December 31, 2004, and the items purchased 
in the subsequent periods are presented at acquisition costs less accumulated amortization and impairment provisions. In 2015, the Group, has been changed its accounting policies from 
historical cost method to revaluation method for the real estate properties which are held for own use in accordance with “TAS 16-Property, Plant and Equipment”. 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 companies in 2018 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 decommissioning 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:

Buildings

Safe Boxes

Other Movables

XIV. Investment Property

Estimated Economic Life (Year)

Depreciation Rate

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 fair values less the discounted 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 Group’s 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.

İşbank Annual Report 2019Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended December 31, 2019(Convenience Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note I in Section Three)(Amounts expressed in thousand Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)As of January 1, 2019 the Bank and the Companies in scope of consolidation have started to recognize 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 usage 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. Explanations on the application and effects of TFRS 16 are disclosed in footnote XXVII, section three.

XVI. Insurance Technical Income and Expense

In insurance companies premium income is obtained subsequent to the share of reassurer in policy income is diminished. 

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’ share of claims paid and outstanding loss are offset in these provisions.

XVII. Insurance Technical Provisions

TFRS 4 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, 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 Group to settle the liability, the related liability is considered as “contingent” and disclosed in the 
footnotes to the financial statements.

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. 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 seniority pay 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 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.

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 numbered 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 Institution Law, 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 November 30, 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 were 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

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

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 licenced actuary for the year ended December 31, 2019 and provided full provision for the total 
amount of technical and actual deficit in the actuarial report in the financial statements. The actuarial assumptions used in the related actuarial report are given in Section Five Note II-i-5-1.

financial statements, was kept in the financial statements for the current period. According to actuarial report of Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta Şirketi and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası,

Code and the Turkish Civil Code to provide essential benefits with additional social security and assistance rights. 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.

With the change in Law no: 7061, in accordance with the Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law No: 5520, the corporate tax rate is calculated at the rate of 22% for 2018, 2019 and 2020 
taxation period’s income. 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 4rd temporary provisional tax for the year 2019 will be paid in February, 2020 and will be offset with the 
current period’s corporate tax.

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 are 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.

2. Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of 
taxable profit. 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. 

242

İşbank Annual Report 2019Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended December 31, 2019(Convenience Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes Originally Issued in Turkish, See Note I in Section Three)(Amounts expressed in thousand Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)Free provisions that are allocated for possible future risks are included in the tax base 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 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.

According to a change in Corporate Tax Law, which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017 and numbered 30261, Article 91, Corporate Tax has been increased to 
22% from 20% in order to be applied to the profits of the institutions for the taxation periods of 2018, 2019 and 2020. Within this context deferred tax is calculated using the related rates 
considering the periods when deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized.

Although according to BRSA article numbered BDDK.DZM.2/13/1-a-3 dated December 8, 2004, deferred tax calculation for general provision and free provision is not made, the Bank has 
started to calculate deferred tax for the expected credit loss for stage 1 and 2 as of January 1, 2018. Deferred tax calculation is not provided for free provisions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities of banks and consolidated companies are shown by way of offsetting in separate financial statements of each entities. In the consolidated financial 
statements, on the other hand, the deferred tax assets and liabilities that come from the companies as offset are separately shown in the assets and liabilities.

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 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 are deducted from corporate tax payable and the difference between withholding amount and corporate tax payable is 
discounted from income tax provided that the withholding tax amount is 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. On the other hand, if the a specific balance within the scope of the regulations’ tax 
base of the relevant year, is higher than the amount found the corporate tax payments are made as temporary tax payments in four installments in July and October of the relevant year and 
in January and April of the following year. Relevant temporary tax payments are deducted from the corporate tax that is finalized until the end of January of the second year following the 
relevant year. On the other hand, if the tax base is under the determined balance, corporate tax is paid by the end of September following the year that the profit is made.

Bahrain

Banks in Bahrain are not subject to tax according to the regulations of the country. 

The Republic of Iraq (Iraq)

The corporate tax is 15% in Iraq. In central government-dependent cities tax is paid in the following year to the related tax administration by the end of May at the latest and in the cities 
under the administration of Northern Iraq tax is paid in the following year to the related tax administration by the end of June, at latest and the financial statements must be presented 
and accrued taxes must be paid. In accordance with the agreement reached between the Central Administration of Iraq and the Northern Iraq Regional Government at the end of 2018, the 
corporate tax of the Bank’s Iraq Branches will be paid in Erbil in a consolidated manner starting from the 2017 financial 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 January of the current year 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. In addition to this, a solidarity tax of 5.5% is calculated over this corporate tax. The tax bases 
for corporate 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 March 28, by considering the provisional taxes paid during the year. Corporate 
earnings are subject to 15% corporate tax from the coupon income earned from the government bonds which are issued after the date January 1, 2018. Corporate tax from the coupon 
income earned from the government bond is paid by the end of 10 weekday from the month following the end of the coupon payments. Taxes arise from other financial instruments are

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. In accordance with Article 11 of Corporate Tax Law, this type of income distrubition is not 
accepted as a reduction in terms of corporate tax.

XXII. Additional Information on Borrowings

The Parent Bank and its consolidated Group 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 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 income 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 income statement by using fair value model. In the balance sheet, these 
valuations are presented with the related liabilities.

XXIII. Information on Equity Shares and Issuance of Equity Shares 

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 income statement are as follows.

XXVII. Other Disclosures

As of January 1, 2019 operating leases within the framework of the “TFRS 16-Leases” standard are recognized in a similar manner to financial leases. During transition by the Parent Bank 
and the companies in scope of the consolidation, simplified application was preferred and in this context, comparative information has not been restated in the consolidated financial 
statements. According to the standard, the lease agreements are examined; their components, the lease periods and the amounts are evaluated by categories, by taking the exceptions and 
similar items into account.

For the contracts considered within the scope of TFRS 16, at the initial application date and/or at the time of signing the contract, the leasing liability and the right to use asset are reflected 
in the financial statements.

The direct costs incurred by the lessee in the beginning were evaluated, it is concluded that amounts are insignificant, initial costs are not included in the right of use asset. In accordance 
with TFRS 16, the right of use asset can be measured with its cost or fair value, and the Group measures the right of use assets with its cost. The net 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 recognized as right of use asset are subject to straight-line depreciation considering the lease period. Interest expenses related to the lease liabilities and foreign 
exchange differences are associated with statement of income.

The effect of TFRS 16 on financial statements, in accordance with the selected transition method and related accounting policies, is given below.

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 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

The Parent Bank and its financial affiliates give utmost importance to ensure that loans are furnished with collaterals. 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.

Non-performing and impaired loans has 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 sixth article of “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital 
Adequacy of Banks”, is based on the Fitch Ratings’ international rating. While receivables from resident banks in abroad which is assessed in the risk class of “Contingent and Non-Contingent 
Receivables from Banks and Brokerage Agencies” and receivables from central governments which is assessed in the risk class of “Contingent and Non-Contingent Receivables from Central 
Governments or Central Banks” will be subjected to risk weights with the scope of ratings; therefore domestic resident banks accepted as unrated, the risk weight is applied according to 
receivables from relevant banks, type of exchange and original maturity.

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:

III. Explanations on Currency Risk

Foreign currency position risk for the Group is a result of the difference between the Group’s 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 for 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 framework of the 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, which the Group is exposed to, both the Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model and Expected Shortfall (VAR) 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 made on a daily basis using the historical and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Furthermore, scenario analyses are conducted to 
support the calculations made within the VAR context. 

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

“Interest Rate Risk” is defined as the decrease that can arise in the value of the interest sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet operations a result of interest rate fluctuations. 
The method of average maturity gap according to the repricing dates 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 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.

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.

(3) The negative shock imposed on FC interest rates remained below the aforementioned rates in some maturity segments due to LIBOR rates being in low levels.

VI. Explanations on Liquidity Risk and Consolidated Liquidity Coverage Ratio

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 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 and Liability 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.

These liquidity stress tests reveal the Bank’s liquid assets’ ability to cover cash outflows within one-month-horizon. 
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, aforementioned 
committees have to report the precautions taken and their results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.

(1) The simple arithmetic average calculated for the last three months of the weekly simple arithmetic average..

With respect to prior period’s consolidated liquidity coverage ratio averages, an increase in the foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio and in the total liquidity coverage ratio has been 
observed for the fourth quarter of 2019. The consolidated foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio and total liquidity coverage ratio have increased due to the increase in the stock of high 
quality liquid assets. On the other hand, total and consolidated foreign currency liquidity coverage ratios are currently far above the minimum level (respectively for 100% and 80% in 2019) 
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’. 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, 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. 

The main funding source of the Bank is deposits. Non-deposit borrowing items; Funds obtained from repo transactions, securities issued and borrowings from financial institutions are 
emerging as other significant sources of funds.

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.

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 subsequently reflected to the results in accordance with the methodology calculated 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 company 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.

VIII. Explanations on Other Price Risk

The Group is exposed to stock price risk due to its investments in companies being traded on the BIST.

The Group’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 15,605 increase/decrease.

(2) Includes Tier 2 subordinated bond which is classified on the balance sheet as subordinated loan.

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 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.

XI. Explanations on Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Explanations according to “Communiqué on Public Disclosures about Risk Management” published on the Official Gazette No.29511 dated October 23, 2015 are included below. The Bank 
uses standardised approach for calculation of capital charge for credit risk, therefore explanations about internal ratings-based approach are not included. 

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 Risk Management Department, which operates under the Parent Bank’s Board of Directors has been organized as Asset-Liability Management Risk Unit, Credit Risk and Economic 
Capital Unit, Operational Risk and Associate Risk Unit and Validation 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 the main risk types,

 -

In addition to the assesment of the loan portfolio on the basis of counterparties and loan types, monitoring of the portfolio as a whole according to parameters such as maturity, sector, 
geography, risk ratings, arrears, defaults,

 - Measuring the assets and liabilities management risk, and reporting of measurement results,

 - Monitoring of all risks assessed in the context of operational risk, loss events that occurred in the Bank caused by operational risksand the risk indicators, 

 - Testing the measurement results in terms of completenessand realiability,

 - Analysing the level of risk indicators under various stress scenarios,

 - Examining various concentration indicators and the course followed by these indicators. 

In addition, analyzes and evaluations regarding the risk level of the companies included in the consolidated risk policies are also included in the mentioned report.

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 notes. No. “The Public Disclosure of Qualitative Information Related to the 
Market Risk “ mentioned in the section.

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 
Parent 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 Parent Bank’s credit risk policies and credit risk strategy on an annual 
basis as a minimum. Key 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 Key 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 Parent Bank’s credit risk management, along the limits as required by legal regulations, the Parent 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. Excess risk limits up to legal requirements 
and boundaries limits are considered as an exception. The Board of Directors has the authority in exception process. The results of the control of risk limits and the evaluations of these 
limits are presented by Internal Audit and Risk Management Group to Key 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 Parent 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 Group’s incurring loss due to managing all financial risks that are inflicted from the 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 Group’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 probability of loss due to the inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, external factors or legal risks”. All risks except financial risks are 
considered within the scope of operational risk. Studies consisted 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” methods. Methods prescribed by legal regulations are applied as minimum in determining the capital requirement level 
for the operating risk.

All risks are assessed in the context of operational risk, loss events and the risk indicators same as operational risks that occurred in the Parent Bank, are monitored on a regular basis by the 
Department of Risk Management and reported periodically to the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.

Validation Activities

Risk measurement models are validated at least once a year under international standards. The performance and soundness of the models are evaluated by the validation unit by statistical 
methods, the compliance of the processes applied within the scope of the model with the related laws, communiqués and regulations are analyzed, and the appropriateness of the data 
quality and IT applications used in the models is monitored. The results of the validation activities are reported to the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.

Subsidiaries Risk Operations

Corporations within the Bank’s consolidated risk policy, in terms of their own business lines, measure, evaluate and monitor risks, establish risk limits. Risk limits are approved by their 
own Board of Directors. Risk levels are reported to the Bank’s Risk Committee within the periods set by the Bank, to monitor risk levels on consolidated basis. The Bank’s Risk Committee, 
assesses the risk levels and report the results to the Board of the Directors of the Bank.

(1) According to the “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy of Banks”, it is the counterparty credit risk amount calculated for repo style transactions.

(2) The source of the difference is the collateral for receivables under credit risk mitigation in the calculation of capital adequacy.

The differences between financial statements resulting from legal consolidation and the ones resulting from accounting consolidation are mainly due to the differences in the scope of 
companies included in consolidation. Legal consolidation only includes partnerships that are in the form of credit institutions or financial institutions in accordance with Article No 5 of 
Clause No 1 in the “Communiqué on Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks” while accounting consolidation includes all partnerships regardless of them being in the 
form of credit institutions or financial institutions in accordance with Article No 5 of Clause No 6 in the same communiqué.

Bank using the valuation methodology are mainly based on data observed may in accordance with TFRS 13 aims to use methods that measure the fair value. In this context, securities 
qualification reality in the fair value measurement of financial assets in the transaction prices, quotes, set by the CBRT and as the price published in the Official Gazette as are used also 
necessary from internal pricing models. As for the derivative transactions interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange, the basis of valuation models using market data such as volatility 
curves, valuation service is also available from third parties. 

The market prices used to value the scope of the independent price verification process, data and/or model inputs for accuracy is regularly subjected to control, as well as compliance of the

c.1.4. Additional Information on Credit Quality of Assets

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 with changing conditions of contract aiming the enhancing of solvency of customer or customer’s demand. 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 Fourth Section note II.

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. 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” which is published on the Official Gazette no 
29511 dated November 23, 2015. Counterparty credit risk valuation method based on the calculation of fair values of the derivative transactions is implemented. In calculating the potential 
credit risk, the amount of the contract is multiplied by the rates given in the regulation. The replacement costs of derivative instruments are calculated based on the valuation of the related 
contracts according to the fair value method.

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. On the other hand, the risk-reducing effect of such agreements is not considered in the calculation of the counterparty credit risk under the capital adequacy 
legislation. 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 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 are determined and the results are reported to the Bank’s top management.

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 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.

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.

The interest rate risk of the banking book item in accordance with the legal regulations is measured and monitored on a monthly basis within the scope of the Regulation about 
Measurement and Assessment of Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Accounts by Standard Shock Method. In the calculations committed due to the mentioned regulations, behavioral 
maturity modeling method is used for the deposits with low sensitivity to interest rate changes and demand deposits which is original maturities is longer than contractual maturities.

All creditors including the Group reached an agreement on restructuring the loans granted to the company which was previously followed under Loans in the previous period. As 
previously stated, loans of the company had been planning to be restructured based on required permits and necessary approvals within a new special purpose entity which was already 
incorporated or will be incorporated in the Republic of Turkey and owned by the creditors either directly or indirectly through takeover of the shares, that have been pledged by the company 
as a guarantee for the credit risk. Above mentioned process was completed in 2018 and, in this context the Bank owns 11.5972% and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş, a group company 
owns 1.6172% of the newly formed special purpose entity. 

At the Ordinary Meeting of the General Assembly of 2018 held in the current period, it has been decided to increase the share capital of the mentioned company by TL 3,982,230, all to 
be covered by common receivables. Whereas the Bank’s and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş.’ ownership ratio in the company has not changed, the nominal value of the shares owned 
increased from TL 6 to TL 461,833 and from TL 1 to TL 64,403 respectively. Amount in question is recognized under Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations account. 

This remaining loan amount after the capital increase of the mentioned company amounting to TL 2,149,813 (31.12.2018: TL 2,417,587) is accounted under financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss. The amount of impairment recognized for the total asset converted into loan and capital is TL 286,360 and is classified under the specified item. 

Assets, which are converted into loan and capital, amounted TL 2,676,049 are measured at fair value under TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard and TFRS 5 “Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations” Standard. The mentioned loan’s fair value is determined by an independent valuation company, considering the various valuation method such as discounted 
cash flows, similar market multipliers, similar transaction multipliers in the same sector, market value and analyst reports. The potential changes in the fundamental estimations and 
assumptions in the valuation work may affect the carrying fair value of the asset. Balance of related asset is followed in financial statements as Level 3 within the scope of “TFRS 13 - Fair 
Value Measurement” standard.

If the case that the growth rate and risk-free return rate on investment used in the discounted cash flow method in the valuation report are increased or decreased by 0.25%, provided that 
all other variables are constant, the total value of assets recognized in the financial statements and profit before tax will increase by about 63 million (full TL amount) or decrease 56 million 
TL (full TL amount).

i.4.2. Provision of credit cards and promotion of banking services applications: The Bank has recognized provisions amounting to TL 89,062 for the amount which is recognized within the 
framework of credit card expenses of credit card customers or promotions for banking services as of December 31, 2019. (December 31, 2018: TL 85,673)

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.

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 and the litigant 
Group companies. In this context, the provisions amounting to TL 217,265 which had been allocated for the mentioned periods, reversed at 2015. Within the scope of the legal process, 
the lawsuits amounting to TL 61,060 with respect to 20 period of 2012-2013 have been concluded against the Bank, is an ongoing process. In addition, at a case file, 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. 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 period the Bank have been transferred to the provision account for the current period amounting 
to TL 74,017 (December 31, 2018: TL 63,337). 

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 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 USD 52,6 million 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, while 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 period 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. On the other hand the legal 
process is continued within the framework of the ongoing lawsuits and other available legal options. 

i.4.5. Except the other provisions indicated above, other provisions consist of a free provision amounting to TL 1,125,000, of which TL 1,200,000 thousands was provided in prior years and 
TL 75,000 thousands reversed in the current period and in accordance with the precautionary principle by the Group management by taking into consideration the possible changes in the 
economy and market conditions, provisions allocated for expenses and provisions allocated for ongoing lawsuits and other provisions set aside for miscellaneous reasons.
