BankPozitif Credit and Development Bank’s chairman, Dr. Erkan Kork, has expressed optimism about Türkiye’s economic trajectory, highlighting the nation’s resilience and potential for growth in the financial sector. Speaking on the outlook for 2025, Dr. Kork emphasised the strength of the Turkish economy and its steady progress, particularly in the FinTech sector, which he predicts will see record-breaking investments in the coming year.

Reflecting on 2024, Dr. Kork noted the significant strides made under Türkiye’s new economic program. “We are leaving behind a year marked by substantial achievements, including reductions in the current account deficit, lower risk premiums, our exit from the grey list, the start of disinflation, record levels in the Central Bank’s reserves, and upgrades from all rating agencies,” he said. He also highlighted the Turkish banking sector’s growth, which reached a size of 30 trillion Turkish Liras, and its continued support for the real sector and investment financing.

Türkiye Attracts $8.5 Billion in Investments in 10 Months

Dr. Kork pointed to Türkiye’s growing appeal to foreign investors, crediting the efforts of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek in promoting the country’s economic advantages on the global stage. “In just 10 months, our country attracted $8.5 billion in investments. The FinTech sector alone saw a record $191 million in investments. I am confident that in 2025, we will surpass these figures,” he stated.

Focus on Innovation and Digitalization

Looking ahead, Dr. Kork outlined BankPozitif’s plans to enhance its digital infrastructure and deliver innovative banking solutions. “We aim to meet the needs of all our customers with end-to-end solutions. In the new era, we will prioritise innovative products by expanding our investments in digitalization and innovation,” he said.
