The strong $1.8 billion demand for our recent $500 million AT1 sukuk clearly demonstrates international investors’ confidence in both our Bank and the Turkish economy. Drawing strength from our deep-rooted history, we will remain committed to growth and to actively contributing to the industry’s progress as well as our country’s economic and social development.”
