Evaluating the financial performance of Akbank in the first quarter of 2026, CEO Kaan Gür stated, “Rising geopolitical tensions and uncertainties triggered volatility in global markets during the first quarter, while moderating the pace of Turkey’s ongoing normalisation process. In response, the proactive and well-coordinated measures taken by our economic authorities have been instrumental in keeping domestic financial market responses broadly contained. While the upward trajectory of commodity prices presents potential implications for inflation, external financing needs, and the fiscal balance, the trajectory of these geopolitical developments will be decisive in shaping their ultimate impact. As always, Akbank remains committed to supporting the Turkish economy throughout this period of increased global uncertainty.”
“We provided loans of TL 2 trillion 601 billion to the economy in the first quarter of 2026”
Gür continued, “In the first quarter of 2026, the loan support we provided to the economy increased to a total of TL 2 trillion 601 billion with TL 2 trillion 24 billion in cash loans. Our deposits reached TL 2 trillion 318 billion, while our assets reached TL 3 trillion 644 billion. With our strong capital adequacy ratio of 16.1%, we continued to support the growth and development of the real sector. In the first quarter of 2026, Akbank reported a consolidated net profit of TL 19 billion 143 million after TL 7 billion 712 million tax expenses. I would like to thank my colleagues for their successful performance and all our stakeholders, especially our customers, for the trust they place in us.”
