Isil Ökten Aslihan Özbey Akbank TAS has established a covered bond programme in an aggregate principal amount of up to €1 billion ($1.1 billion), which is the first ever mortgage-backed bond programme in Turkey. The first mortgage covered bond programme in Turkey was established on December 23 2014 on the approval of the base prospectus by the Central Bank of Ireland, after a challenging process. This programme comes after many years of hard work by the legislator, the issuers and the arrangers. Numerous changes have been made to the legislation to enable the first issue, and it would still benefit from further clarifications.
