The European Investment Bank (EIB) has resumed financing operations in Türkiye by signing two new agreements worth a combined €200 million to support the country’s transition toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient economy. The financing package includes two €100 million facilities provided to the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye (TKYB) and Türk Eximbank, which will channel the funds to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
The initiative is designed to accelerate the decarbonisation of Turkish businesses while supporting broader economic and environmental objectives. Through investments in clean energy technologies and efficiency improvements, the financing aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen energy security, improve climate resilience, and enhance the competitiveness of Turkish companies. The program is also expected to support the creation of new green jobs and contribute to the development of sustainable supply chains.
The agreements mark a significant step in renewed cooperation between the European Investment Bank and Türkiye. Officials from both sides highlighted the importance of supporting businesses as they adapt to evolving environmental requirements and transition toward more sustainable operating models. The financing is intended to provide long-term capital that enables companies to invest in modern technologies, lower energy costs, and improve environmental performance.
