Garanti has contributed more than TL 239 billion to the economy so far this year

“Despite the extraordinary situation our county endured and the very difficult conditions, in the third quarter of 2016 we continued to use the strength of Garanti Bank to benefit the country’s progress and future,” said Garanti Bank CEO Fuat Erbil, commenting on the results. He also added, “We have successfully overcome this challenging period thanks to our solid and well-diversified balance sheet structure, with leading indicators in the capital and liquidity, as well as in risk management and asset quality. With growth that surpasses the sector across all areas, we continued to support the economy through our cash and non-cash loans, which exceeded TL 239 billion. We also continued to gain market share in mortgages, general purpose loans and auto loans, and further strengthened our leading position in consumer loans. While we create solutions for our SME, commercial and corporate banking customers, we will continue to support Turkey’s sustainable growth and back energy and infrastructure projects.”

Garanti’s performance has been recognized by international financial authorities, Erbil reports: “Garanti was once again selected as the Best Retail Bank of Turkey by World Finance Magazine and the most supportive private bank for consumers in Turkey. We are proud to lead the sector in digital banking, thanks to our 20 year history of continuous investments in this area.” He also noted that: “Accenture, one of the world’s leading consulting firms, selected Garanti as Turkey’s Most Digital Company as part of its research for the Digitization Index.” He also expressed his gratitude to “the 20,000 people who lift Garanti up”. Thanks to them, he said, “We were once again the only Turkish company to qualify for the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Sustainability is part of our company’s culture and we will continue to work relentlessly to add value for all our stakeholders who believe in us and support us.”
