Boosting sustainable MSME lending in rural Türkiye

Şekerbank is a mid-sized Turkish bank with a strong focus on MSMEs and green products, and a well-established presence in rural areas, where it plays an important role in serving farmers and SMEs.

ILX participated in a loan structured by FMO, enabling the bank to grow its portfolio and support the development of the local economy in Türkiye, particularly in the MSME segment in rural areas, in sustainable agriculture and for enterprises owned or managed by women. The loan supports local economic activity and strengthens financial inclusion in underserved areas.
