EBRD records up to EUR 100 million for green leasing in Türkiye

EBRD’s project record for Türkiye GEFF III – İş Leasing describes up to EUR 100 million of senior unsecured financing for eligible green investments by private-sector sub-borrowers and vendors. At least 30% is intended for earthquake-affected regions. The facility is signed, but individual companies still require eligibility, leasing and technical assessment.

Verified facts

  • The EBRD project summary records up to EUR 100 million of senior unsecured financing, comprising EUR 94 million from EBRD and up to EUR 6 million of concessional Clean Technology Fund financing.
  • At least 30% of the proceeds is intended for use in regions affected by the February 2023 earthquakes.
  • The facility covers eligible energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate resilience, sustainable agribusiness, nature, transport and tourism investments by private-sector sub-borrowers and vendors.
  • EBRD classifies 100% of its financing as green. The project record gives an approval date of 8 July 2026 and shows the project as signed, with the record updated or disclosed on 23 October.

Horizon view

The facility creates an intermediary route for equipment and projects that meet defined green criteria. It is not a general subsidy: the leasing counterparty, eligible technology, savings case, credit decision, tenor and concessional allocation all need validation at transaction level.

Commercial implication and next step

Equipment vendors and potential lessees should obtain current İş Leasing and GEFF eligibility guidance, then document the asset, baseline consumption or risk, projected savings and climate benefit, price, installation and maintenance, borrower credit, collateral, currency and repayment. Confirm whether vendor pre-qualification or technical assessment is required and whether the earthquake-region allocation applies.

What to verify before acting

A signed EBRD facility does not approve a lessee, vendor, asset or lease. The public summary does not provide end-borrower pricing, ticket sizes, maturity, security, technology list, application timetable or remaining availability. The 23 October date reflects project disclosure or update, while approval occurred earlier.
