Turkish banking and finance regulatory updates

Overview

Turkey's Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) has implemented several new regulatory measures to manage risk and credit exposure across various financial sectors.

In August 2026, the BDDK issued new rules for development and investment banks, reducing credit-risk limits for single individuals, legal entities, or risk groups to 30% of paid-up capital. Limits for credit extended within a bank's own risk group were also lowered to 25%. Banks have until late 2026 or early 2027 to comply with these changes.

Shortly thereafter, the agency introduced new regulations for savings finance companies focused on improving liquidity and risk management. These rules mandate that collected funds be held in specific low-risk instruments and place limits on non-interest-bearing balances. The regulations also adjusted contract thresholds, increasing limits for high-value contracts and housing/workplace financing, while imposing caps on the number and total value of contracts a single person can hold with one company.
