Intellectual Capital

Research and Consultancy Services

As an organization with solid intellectual capital, Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye provides financial and advisory services while at the same time enriching its intellectual capital through these services. This process implies a continuous cycle of learning and development. Thanks to its experience in the sector, specialized staff, and extensive international client network, the Bank not only finances projects but also becomes an important stakeholder that adds value to them.

The Bank’s intellectual capital is shaped through a range of services and activities and is categorized under 3 main headings. These include macroeconomic and sectoral analyses conducted by the sectoral research and economic research units and project evaluation processes. Thematic-Sectoral Studies include the follow-up of development-related themes; renewable energy and energy efficiency, climate finance, and sectoral developments. Within the scope of the Bank’s development and investment banking activities, the Sectoral Research Unit also performs long-term demand projections of products/sectors in project evaluation processes and shares sectoral analysis studies with the relevant units of the Bank.

The Economic Research Unit monitors, evaluates, and reports domestic and international economic, financial, and commodity price developments; conducts research on macroeconomics and finance that will contribute to development and investment banking activities; and monitors and analyzes data on the Turkish Banking sector. These studies help the Bank to determine its own strategies and also constitute an important reference for decision-makers and other stakeholders.

In addition, the Bank’s project evaluation activities are also part of its intellectual capital. In credit line and consultancy projects, the Bank analyzes the sectors in which the related companies are involved and creates future sales projections for the companies. This not only helps the Bank’s risk assessment and management processes but also helps projects to be more successful.

In 2022, the Bank’s privatization advisory and M&A advisory services were important services that both enriched the Bank’s intellectual capital and added value to companies in various sectors. In particular, the successful completion of the sale of a company in the renewable energy sector demonstrates the Bank’s experience and expertise in this area.

In 2023, we aim to work in more depth on the Bank’s intellectual capital and further increase its contribution in this area. The Bank’s activities in areas such as investment incentive certificate applications, valuation advisory services, and M&A advisory services continuously renew its intellectual capital while increasing the Bank’s sectoral knowledge and experience.

As a result, the intellectual capital of Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye represents the Bank’s ability to continuously improve and learn while enhancing the quality and value of the Bank’s services. This process enables the Bank to develop its own capabilities as an organization committed to sustainable development and to make a significant contribution to Türkiye’s overall economic and social development.
