World Bank documents more than USD 21 billion of private capital mobilised in Türkiye since 2022

A World Bank feature reports that World Bank Group support mobilised more than USD 21 billion of private capital in Türkiye between 2022 and 2026, including USD 5.4 billion from July 2025 to June 2026. The record gives companies a useful map of two financing channels; SME credit enhancement and airport infrastructure; but it is a retrospective programme account.

Verified facts

  • The World Bank states that its Group mobilised more than USD 21 billion of private capital for Türkiye between 2022 and 2026, the third-largest country total across the institution, and USD 5.4 billion between July 2025 and June 2026.
  • Under the FINGROW access-to-finance programme, an USD 868 million World Bank Group guarantee is reported to be mobilising USD 1.74 billion for Turkish small businesses. The programme had reached about 8,000 firms employing roughly 200,000 people during its first five months.
  • The article says more than USD 200 million had gone to firms in disaster-affected and less-developed regions and more than USD 500 million to youth- and women-led businesses. Its stated programme target is about 30,000 firms and more than 400,000 additional or better-paid jobs.
  • For Antalya Airport, World Bank Group financing is reported to have attracted more than USD 1.2 billion in private capital. The expansion is expected; assuming added capacity is fully used; to support 93,000 direct and indirect jobs and add USD 6.6 billion in value to the economy.

Horizon view

The publication shows where multilateral risk-sharing is already altering the financing architecture: intermediary-led SME lending and large infrastructure. A foreign company should distinguish between being an eligible end borrower, a supplier to a financed enterprise, an infrastructure contractor or an investor. The aggregate mobilisation figure does not establish access under any one of those routes.

Commercial implication and next step

For a Türkiye financing case, identify the exact programme, participating financial intermediary, borrower and use of proceeds; confirm eligibility, tenor, collateral, currency, pricing and environmental or social conditions; and separate any supplier opportunity from the financing itself. For Antalya-linked opportunities, verify the operator, project phase, package owner, procurement route, technical scope and commercial timetable before treating the investment figures as addressable demand.

What to verify before acting

This is a World Bank feature aggregating multi-year programmes and expected impacts. It is not a new credit window, tender, borrower approval, supplier award, job guarantee or forecast of realised economic value. Eligibility, participating banks, procurement, disbursement and project access require current confirmation with the responsible institutions and counterparties.
