Türk Telekom, which combines its digitalization vision with environmental responsibility, continues its financial strategies that prioritize not only the present but also future generations by supporting green transformation, 5G technology, and infrastructure investments with long-term and cost-effective resources.
In just one month, Türk Telekom successfully completed a long-term financing program totaling $1.8 billion. This included issuing a $600 million green Eurobond, long-term loan agreements equivalent to $612 million, and a $600 million sukuk issuance, further demonstrating the confidence global investors have in Türk Telekom.
Green Bond and Sukuk Issues Over 3x Oversubscription
Türk Telekom’s $600 million green Eurobond and sukuk issuance, each worth $600 million, attracted significant interest, with oversubscription exceeding three times. Sustainability-focused investors accounted for 75% of the green Eurobond issuance, allocated to 109 investors. With this transaction, Türk Telekom, whose green financing portfolio has reached $1.1 billion, has reached the largest green financing volume in its sector. To increase its financing diversity, Türk Telekom, which issued its first sukuk in the non-financial sector’s international capital markets, has secured an additional $600 million in resources with a five-year maturity.
Furthermore, three long-term loan agreements totaling $612 million were signed: one supported by Finnvera, a Finnish ECA (Export Credit Agency), one supported by Sinosure, a Chinese ECA, and one secured from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Türk Telekom, a pioneer in building the digital future, aims to use these resources to develop 5G infrastructure, finance plans for the extension of fixed network concessions, and finance sustainability-focused projects.
Ömer Karademir, Deputy General Manager of Finance for Türk Telekom, commented on the financing steps taken: “As Türk Telekom, in line with our digitalization vision, we have successfully concluded a financing period to support strategic investments such as green transformation, the renewal of the fixed line concession agreement, and 5G frequency purchases. Between September and October 2025, we secured a total of USD 1.8 billion in financing in just one month. By generating long-term and cost-effective resources from various markets on a global scale, we are accelerating our investments and strengthening our vision of sustainable growth. The USD 600 million, 7-year green Eurobond issuance we completed during this process marked a significant milestone not only in financial but also in terms of environmental sustainability. With this issuance, which was oversubscribed threefold, we increased our green financing portfolio to USD 1.1 billion, reaching the largest green financing volume in the telecom sector. To increase our diversity of financing sources, we completed the first sukuk (lease certificate) issuance in international capital markets in the non-financial sector with a USD 600 million 5-year maturity. We completed this transaction. Furthermore, we completed our financing package with long-term loan agreements totaling USD 612 million, ensuring the sustainable financing of our digitalization and infrastructure-focused investments. These transactions, completed in a short period of just one month, are a concrete demonstration of the high confidence international financial institutions have in Türk Telekom’s robust balance sheet, disciplined financial management, and long-term strategy. As we continue our investments in building the digital future without interruption, we are determined to combine environmental and financial sustainability.
