Developmental and Regional Cooperation Impact:

BSTDB acknowledges the pain and suffering of the Turkish people caused by the devastating earthquakes of August and November 1999. By extending a credit line through a financial intermediary, BSTDB targets to distribute most efficiently the funds to end recipients, and to achieve optimal impact in the context of the complex funds flow to and in Turkey in the aftermath of the earthquake. In selecting the financial intermediary, the following criteria were taken into consideration: a) private sector speed and efficiency; b) access to a group of SME not sufficiently benefiting from other sources of earthquake related funds (e.g. Government subsidized funds)

The project is in compliance with the statutory environmental legal requirements in the Republic of Turkey
