Turkish Banks Report Massive Profit Surge in 2025 H1
Turkish banks have reported a significant surge in profits and deposits, with the sector's total assets and loans also on the rise. In August alone, net profits soared by nearly 147% year-on-year to TL 84.2 billion, while the banking sector's net profit for the first eight months reached TL 563.4 billion, a substantial increase from the same period last year.
The surge in profits is reflected in the sector's net interest income, which stood at TL 969.92 billion in the first eight months. This impressive performance has led to a nearly 47.2% increase in the banking sector's net profit year-to-date. Deposits have also seen a significant boost, reaching TL 24 trillion by the end of August, marking a 27% increase from the end of 2024.
The sector's financial health is further underscored by a low non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of 2.22% in August. Additionally, the capital adequacy ratio stood strong at 18.25% in the same month. This robust financial position is accompanied by a significant increase in total assets, which climbed to TL 41.89 trillion at the end of August. The sector's total loans also grew, standing at TL 20.63 trillion as of August.
The Turkish banking sector's strong performance in the first eight months of the year, marked by substantial increases in profits, deposits, total assets, and loans, bodes well for the sector's continued growth and stability. With a low NPL ratio and a strong capital adequacy ratio, the sector appears well-positioned to navigate future challenges.
