Asia FX muted, dollar fragile as CPI data boosts Sept rate cut bets
ISTANBUL - Turkiye Garanti Bankasi (IS:GARAN) A.S. (TGBD), one of Turkey’s largest private banks, has received approval from the Capital Markets Board (CMB) to issue bonds in international markets. The authorization, part of the bank’s ongoing Global Medium Term Notes (GMTN) program, will facilitate borrowing through the issuance of bonds with varying series and maturities in different currencies.
On Monday, Garanti Bank announced the successful acquisition of three CMB issuance certificates under its GMTN program. These certificates detail the issue date, maturity, currency, and nominal amount for each bond. According to the bank’s statement, bonds were issued on March 3, 2025, with the following details:
- A USD 25 million bond with maturity on March 5, 2026.
- Another USD 25 million bond due on September 1, 2025.
- A third bond valued at USD 15 million, maturing on September 3, 2025.
This move is part of Garanti Bank’s strategy to diversify its funding sources and extend its debt profile. The GMTN program, established on April 19, 2013, allows the bank to issue borrowing instruments in foreign markets, providing flexibility in terms of currency and maturity options.
The bank has confirmed that the information provided is in accordance with the principles of the CMB’s Communiqué, Serial II Nr.15.1, and reflects accurate records, books, and documents. Garanti Bank has taken all necessary steps to ensure the correctness and completeness of the disclosed information and accepts responsibility for the declarations made.
The announcement was made in a regulatory statement disseminated by EQS Group, with Garanti Bank being solely responsible for the content of the announcement. The bank’s initiative to issue bonds in foreign markets is based on a press release statement and represents a factual update on its financing activities.
