The institution has processed nearly 900,000 891,774 damage reports and issued total resulting from 1,403 earthquakes, completing payments for 701,696 files.

Supported by state backing and international reinsurance, DASK’s current policy portfolio fund size has reached 30 billion TL, which the institution states provides sufficient capacity to cover the damages from two large-scale earthquakes within a single year.
