Report Highlights
The consumer credit market has risen rapidly in Turkey primarily due to the
recovery of the Turkish economy. The recovery of the economy has in turn
increased consumer confidence and increased spending on consumables.
Furthermore, inflation has been falling, which has in turn led to lower
interest rates thus making borrowing cheaper.
Credit cards are popular in Turkey among both issuing banks and consumers.
High inflation has limited banks' consumer credit portfolios making long-term
credit much less common than elsewhere in Europe. This has resulted in an
innovative range of rewards and incentives in the credit card market.
Amid the flurry of strategic partnerships being formed recently in Turkey
there has been little sign of domestic led consolidation. This is because the
domestic market is self-sufficient in terms of capital funding for the current
and expected rise in consumer credit, which makes mergers unnecessary for a
bank's future development.
