Türkiye's Banking Net Profits Soar to USD16.16B


(MENAFN) Türkiye's banking industry recorded net earnings of 669.7 billion Turkish liras ($16.16 billion) during September, the nation's financial regulator announced Thursday.

Sector profitability jumped 19% year-over-year, figures from the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) revealed.

The industry's aggregate assets reached 43.5 trillion liras ($1.05 trillion) as September concluded. Lending portfolios—the dominant asset class—accounted for 21.2 trillion liras ($512.7 billion) of the total.

Customer deposits, representing the principal liability category, stood at 24.8 trillion Turkish liras ($600 billion).

Concerning capital adequacy standards, the sector's regulatory capital-to-risk-weighted-assets ratio—where higher figures indicate stronger positioning—advanced to 18.55% by September's close.

Meanwhile, the non-performing loans ratio relative to total cash lending—where lower percentages signal better quality—registered at 2.29%.

The Turkish banking landscape comprised 66 institutions as of September's end, encompassing state-owned, private, and foreign entities across deposit banks, participation banks, and development and investment banks.

The workforce totaled 210,102 personnel operating through 10,781 branch locations spanning Türkiye and international markets.
