Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name A credit line to Ziraat to be on-lent for intermediation through PFIs to SMEs:(Cost $300.00 M) Public Disclosure Authorized Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Low Low Implementation Status and Key Decisions Ziraat Bank has significantly improved implementation and disbursement performance after May 2017 and almost 85 percent of the loan has been 10/16/2017 Page 1 of 10
disbursed as of September 2017. This is an important achievement compared to only 44 percent disbursement level in February 2017. US $ 120 million has been disbursed since May 2017 (60 million in May and September each). There are five leasing companies as Project Financial Institutions (PFIs) which signed a Subsidiary Loan Agreement (SLA) with Ziraat Bank including Garanti Leasing, Finans Leasing, Yapi Kredi Leasing, Burgan Leasing, and Ziraat Leasing. As of September, 2017, Ziraat's withdrawals from the World Bank, commitments to PFIs, and PFIs disbursements to final beneficiaries have increased to 85, 65 and 55 percent of the total Loan amount respectively. Project development objective (PDO) indicators and intermediate results indicators are on track and progressing well towards achievement of the PDO. The project has financed 423 SMEs since its launch. More than 11.8 percent of these SMEs were new clients to the PFIs (compared to 10 percent target). 14.68 percent of the loans were disbursed in underserved regions (compared to 15 percent target). The weighted average maturity of sub-loans financed under the project has exceeded the average maturity of PFI s own loan portfolio by 75 percent. The leasing sector size in Turkey is below its potential yet on a recent growth path owing to the GDP growth by 5.1 percent Q2 2017 (yoy) and higher recorded investment. Transaction volume increased by 4 percent in US $ terms in Q1 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, thanks to growing investment demand. Feedback from the sector indicates mild growth expectations in the short run while construction, having experienced a 10 percent growth in Q1 2017 as the most concentrated sector of the leasing market in Turkey, resumes its role as the driving force. Average leasing volume per transaction decreased in the recent years, explained possibly by a drop in sale-and-leaseback contracts that are low in transaction numbers but high in leasing volumes and/or by a shift in appetite for the leasing sector from larger enterprises to SMEs. Against this cautiously optimistic backdrop, possible higher demand for SME III funds should encourage Ziraat to market the funds more actively to leasing companies and participation banks by leveraging favorable characteristics of SME III funds, in particular those in regard to maturity. 10/16/2017 Page 2 of 10
