Project narrative
On August 25, 2022, ICBC Turkey joined a consortium of Turkish banks in providing a €155 million syndicated loan to Dumlupınar Sağlık Hizmetleri Anonim Şirketi, a special-purpose vehicle responsible for developing and operating the Kütahya Integrated Health Campus under a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The project involves the design, construction, and operation of a 610-bed hospital complex (known as Kütahya Şehir Hastanesi) in Kütahya, Turkey. The financing package includes contributions from Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş., Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş. (TSKB), Ziraat Bankası A.Ş., and ICBC Turkey Bank A.Ş. Clifford Chance and GKC Partners served as legal counsel to the lenders, while Ergun Law advised the borrower. ICBC Turkey acted as one of the Mandated Lead Arrangers. The project reached financial close in August 2022. This syndicated loan follows an earlier EUR 15 million bridge loan provided by ICBC Turkey in 2019 to the same SPV.
