Turkey Just Launched Mandatory Green Asset Reporting for Banks 🌿🇹🇷
Big shift in Turkish finance. On April 11, 2025, Turkey published the Communiqué on the Calculation of Green Assets of Banks, officially activating the nation’s first Green Asset Reporting Obligation.
This new rule tracks how much banks actually support environmentally sustainable economic activities. The core metric? ➡️ Green Asset Ratio — the share of eligible green assets within a bank’s balance sheet.
Banks must now build strong systems for: • Documentation & classification • Monitoring & verification • Full sustainability reporting
The BDDK (Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency) will enforce the rules and define environmental criteria like climate change mitigation, circular economy transition, pollution control, and biodiversity protection.
This is more than a regulation — it marks the start of a green transition in Turkey's banking system. Green finance is no longer optional. It’s compliance. It’s strategy. It’s the future.
