II. Explanations on Consolidated Credit Risk
1.
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of incurring loss where the counterparty in a transaction, partially or completely fails to meet its contractual obligations in due time in an
agreement with the Bank and its consolidated financial subsidiaries.
Banks and financial institutions subject to consolidation, carry out their placement activities in accordance with the credit limitations stipulated by legal regulations of the countries in
which they operate.
The Parent Bank’s position against the credit risk limits defined by the current legislation is monitored by the Board. Within this framework, loans extended to Risk Groups and the
Parent Bank’s Risk Group, including the Parent Bank; loans in high amounts and limitations regarding the shares in participations are monitored according to the limits determined in
connection with the size of the shareholders’ equity calculated on a bank-only and consolidated basis.
Credit risk limits of customers are determined depending on the financial situation and loan requirements of the borrowers, in strict compliance with the relevant banking legislation,
within the framework of loan authorization limits of Branches, Regional Offices, Loan Divisions, and the Deputy Chief Executives responsible for loans, the CEO, the Credit Committee
and the Board of Directors. These limits may be changed as may be deemed necessary by the Bank. Moreover, all commercial credit limits are revised periodically, provided that each
period does not exceed a year. Furthermore, the borrowers and borrower groups forming a large proportion of the overall placement are subject to risk limits in order to provide further
minimization of potential risk.
The geographical distribution of borrowers is consistent with the concentration of industrial and commercial activities in Turkey.
The distribution of borrowers by sector is monitored closely for each period and sectoral risk limits have been determined to prevent concentration of risk in sectoral sense.

of account received is assured to have been made in accordance with the provisions as stipulated by the relevant legislation.

real estate, movable or commercial enterprise under pledge, promissory notes and other liquid assets as collateral, or by acceptance of bank letters of guarantee and individual or
corporate guarantees.
