KGF IS GROWING
Capital of KGF has been increased at General Assembly of KGF, which was held on
21st August 2006. In connection with this, the press
statement of Mr.Rifat Hisarciklioglu, who is the
president of TOBB - The Union Chambers and Commodity
Exchanges of Turkey, is below.
[13/09/2006]
I would like to greet you on behalf of me and TOBB.
Welcome.
Financial sector and reel sector are like two parts
of an apple. Financial sector works as a vein to
feed the SME’s which are the basic instruments of
economy. Thus, when one of them is in a bad
condition, other one shouldn’t be expected to be in
a good condition. After 2001 crisis, financial
sector has been restructured. During this period,
conversion ratio of deposit to credit reached 70%,
which was less than 30% before. However for four
years, even consumer credits have multiplied 13
times, commercial credit have multiplied only 3
times. In other words, there are some steps to be
taken to strengthen the relations between financial
and enterprise sectors.
In this context, KGF, which we are shareholder of
50%, supplies a much felt want. Volume of credit can
be provided by KGF is restricted with its capital.
So, capital of KGF has been increased.
Demands and importance of KGF will be increased
after implementation of Basel II critters.
Basel II critters require higher quality need of
collateral. On this account, increasing capital of
KGF will provide efficient, quality, common loan
service which is compatible with concept of modern
banking system in the near future.
By strengthening the structure of capital, credit
sources of KGF will be increased, thus more SME’s
will be accessed. Besides, operations are continuing
to find a finance, cash or non-cash, especially from
foreign finance foundations. In this context, in
accordance with the agreement signed between KGF and
European Investment Fund, KGF guarantees are counter-guaranteed
by EIF up to 50%.
When applications of KGF become commonplace,
financial system will be deeper and new
opportunities will be provided for SME’s. Because
there has been a big increase in demand of KGF and
annual credit volume has been doubled by providing
loan for 488 SME’S last for 2 years. So that, not
only capital of KGF but also human resource,
corporate infrastructure and technical capacity
should be strengthened.
Up to now KGF has guaranteed $170.000.000 for
approximately 1.900 project of 1.087 SME’s. Such
effective, key system should be supported by
Government. KGF should also benefit from the sources,
which are allocated to support the SME’s, of
Treasury.
And I would like to congratulate the directors of
KGF on their successful operations to settle the
credit guarantee system. I also would like to thank
to Mr.Ali Coşkun, Minister of Industry and Commerce,
for his supports to Turkish private sector and
attaching importance to KGF. With kind regards.
