Ufuk Uyan, General Manager of Kuveyt Türk, who conveyed his views at the general assembly meeting in 2023, said, "While we started 2023 with hope, the earthquakes that occurred on Monday, February 6, 2023 in Kahramanmaraş Pazarcık and Elbistan led us all to deep sadness and grief. We wish mercy to our citizens who lost their lives in the earthquake disaster that caused destruction in 11 provinces, condolences to their relatives and our nation, and urgent healing to our wounded. In order to contribute to healing the wounds of our nation, our main partner Kuwait Finance House and Kuveyt Türk Finance Group contributed a total of 409 million TRY, 200 million TRY of which is to AFAD. From the first moment of the earthquake, we acted together with AFAD, Turkish Red Crescent and Turkish Scouting Federation to deliver our in-kind and cash aid to the affected regions. In addition, we provide conveniences in debt payments and financing processes of people and institutions affected by earthquakes all over the country. We will continue our contributions with all our strength to heal the wounds of the disaster. We will overcome this difficult process together.”
Kuveyt Türk distributed 1.4 billion TRY of its net profit to shareholders
Ufuk Uyan also said, “While the global economy partially recovered from the devastating effects of the pandemic in 2022, the new shocks brought many new problems to the agenda of developed and developing economies. In addition to rising energy costs, the pressure on food prices has led to historic peaks in inflation and tough and sharp decisions by policymakers. In this period when the risks are rising at an unpredictable level, we focused on increasing the value we produce for all our stakeholders and the country's economy in our sphere of influence. As in 2022, we will take important initiatives in the fields of environmental, social and governance in 2023. In line with our 2025 strategy, we will continue to offer innovative products and services to our customers in 2023. With our strong capital structure and dynamic corporate governance approach, we will continue to take steps that add value to the accumulation of our shareholders. We would like to thank all our employees who have worked hard in the successes we have achieved during this difficult period, our stakeholders with whom we acted together and our valuable shareholders who have never withheld their support from us.”
