Istanbul Metro financing is Deutsche Bank’s latest Turkish infrastructure project
Bank acted as sole arranger for 110 million euro loan to expand Istanbul Metro network by 11km
Back in 1888, Deutsche Bank helped finance the construction of the Baghdad Railway connecting Istanbul with Baghdad and the Persian Gulf. Earlier this year, Deutsche Bank celebrated its 110 year anniversary in Turkey having opened its branch in Istanbul on August 16, 1909.
Since its establishment, Deutsche Bank has maintained an active role in supporting many infrastructure projects in modern Turkey.
Last month, Deutsche Bank acted as sole arranger for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s (IMM) 110 million euro loan for the extension of Istanbul’s metro network.
As the local population in Istanbul has grown by 50 percent over the last two decades reaching 15 million in 2019, infrastructure needs have become more prominent especially in transportation. The facility provided by Deutsche Bank will be used to finance IMM’s capital requirements in the Çekmeköy-Sancaktepe-Sultanbeyli metro line, an extension to one of Istanbul‘s backbone metro lines Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy, which was partially financed by Deutsche Bank in 2018.
The project, which consists of eight stations for a total length of 10.9 kilometers, is expected to be operational by 2022 and together with the Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy metro line, is estimated to transport a combined daily volume of approx. 750,000 people in 2023, rising to an estimated 1,300,000 people in 2045.
Commenting on the transaction, Orhan Ozalp, Chief Country Officer for Turkey, said: “We have a proud history and well established track record of supporting infrastructure projects in the country. Responding to local needs is a fundamental element of Deutsche Bank’s Positive Impact on local societies.”
Besides the metro projects in Istanbul, Deutsche Bank participated in landmark Turkish infrastructure financing transactions including the world’s longest suspension bridge in Canakkale and the refinancing of capital Ankara’s Airport in the last two years.
As part of Deutsche Bank’s global transformation announced in July this year, the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank will both continue to support the Turkish economy by offering lending and trade finance facilities to leading Turkish institutions and corporates and for key infrastructure projects. The bank will also continue to enable access to similar facilities for the numerous subsidiaries of German and other international companies based in Turkey.

Mapfre and China Re to collaborate on insuring investments for China’s BRI infrastructure project
Spanish re/insurance firm MAPFRE has announced a new partnership with China Re, which will see them collaborate on insuring investments related to China’s massive infrastructure plan, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
As part of the agreement, which was marked by a memorandum of understanding, MAPFRE will offer insurance and reinsurance support to Chinese interests in Latin American and European countries where it has a local presence.
MAPFRE will also act as a cedant for China Re on projects of interest to both parties.
The companies have already been collaborating for a number of years via reinsurance transactions and in roadside assistance, through their respective subsidiaries, Road China Assistance and China Continent.
Launched by the Chinese government in 2013, the BRI is a long-term intercontinental project that aims to connect China to the world’s major economies.
It includes the construction of roads, railways, ports, airports, oil and gas pipelines and power plants, as well as other projects like educational programs and the construction and development of special economic zones.
China and 131 other countries are currently BRI members, together accounting for 30% of global GDP, 62% of the world’s population and 75% of known energy reserves.
