Turkey has implemented several financial measures and regulatory changes aimed at supporting exporters, small business owners, and the savings finance sector.

In early September, the government expanded Banking and Insurance Transactions Tax (BSMV) exemptions for rediscount credits. This expansion, intended to boost the competitiveness of exporters, now covers long-term credits from commercial banks and Türk Eximbank in addition to short-term options. The program also saw increased daily limits and a total budget of 1 billion USD.

By late September, new regulations were introduced to assist tradespeople with outstanding tax or social security debts through Treasury-supported loans. These loans allow for direct debt repayment from up to 25% of the approved amount. Concurrently, the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) introduced restrictions on savings finance companies to mitigate risk, including limits on the number of active contracts per individual and new requirements for managing collected funds in low-risk assets.
