On 14 February 2013, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) agreed with Denizbank A.S. to offer an export credit line to finance Japanese exports in Turkey and its neighboring countries.
The credit line amounts to USD 200 million, of which 120 million are provided by JBIC and the rest in form of buyer's credit insurance by Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI).
The credit line can be used to extend loans to local companies for the purchase of Japanese machinery and equipment for the following sectors: infrastructure development, renewable energy and climate change mitigation.
The JBIC reported that 'this credit line will support the export of machinery and equipment to Turkey and its neighboring countries, thereby contributing to maintaining and improving the international competitiveness of Japanese industries'.
 
 
The JBIC is a public financial institution and export credit agency created on 1 October 1999 through the merger of the Japan Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund.
