- Exporting companies provided with $33.7 billion in support in 9 months

Turkish Eximbank General Manager Ali Güney said that as of the end of September, they’ve provided export companies with $22.2 billion in export support loans and $11.5 billion in credit insurance support.

Thus, they gave a total of $33.7 billion in support during that period, the amount of support increased by 5% compared to the same period last year, he said, the increase in export loan support reached 12%.

According to data from the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TİM), there are 90,000 companies exporting, Güney went on, “Companies that benefit from Turkish Eximbank facilities are about a third of this. Our exporting companies are not aware of our products and facilities. If this demand does not occur, there is a serious need for information on this issue. These webinars are very important in these matters. We have started a strategic transformation effort in this direction. We have downloaded a survey to our exporters through TİM. This constitutes an important input in determining our future strategy. I would like to ask our TİM member companies to complete this survey."
