Ziraat Bankası became the first Turkish bank to surpass 10 trillion TL in total assets, reaching 10.1 trillion TL in the third quarter of 2026. The state-owned lender posted 124.5 billion TL in net profit for the first nine months of the year and provided 7.7 trillion TL in total financing to the economy, including more than 1.2 trillion TL in agricultural loans. The milestone underscores the scale of Turkey's largest state bank and its outsized role in channeling credit to strategic sectors such as agriculture. Investors will watch whether asset growth continues at this pace and how profitability and loan quality hold up as lending expands.
