Responsibilities of the Intermediary Banks and the Investors

Article 15.

The appropriate amount of credit as determined by evaluation carried out by the banks assigned for the implementation of Fund-based credit shall be transferred to the banks for use by the investors, after due consideration of the Fund
s revenues and after obtaining the approval of the Undersecretariat.

Credits transferred to the intermediary banks shall be made available for use by the concerned investors within 5 business days at the latest. If the credit is not used within 5 business days, the amount of credit which has not been used shall be refunded to the Fund account within the following 5 business days at the latest. Otherwise, an amount of interest must be calculated for the period between the date of crediting the loan to the bank account and the date of return to the Fund account, using the interest rate announced by the relevant bank for general short-term credits.

Intermediary banks are responsible for ensuring that the credits are used in line with the goals delineated, and also that the principal, any instalments and any interest payments related to the credit are paid to the Fund when they become due. Intermediary banks, without taking into consideration whether or not the principal, any instalments and any interest payments related to the credit have been collected from the investors, have to prepare and deposit the related sums according to the approved global redemption plan within 5 business days to the Central Bank of Turkey. The sums which have not been deposited to the Fund within the required period of time will include a punitive interest rate for the time between the due date and the actual deposit date over the rate which the concerned banks announce and implement for short term credits themselves.

When an investment is not completed or when an investment encouragement certificate is cancelled, the rate of interest applied on the credit used from the Fund shall be raised to the rate of interest applicable to general short-term credit as announced by the concerned bank and the sum corresponding to the principal plus the amount of interest calculated accordingly is to be deposited to the Fund within 5 business days.

As a commission fee for their services as intermediaries, banks are entitled to receive a sum corresponding to a maximum of 4 percentage points of the interest applied on the credit. No other fee, commission or charges, under different titles can be asked for.

When the principal, any instalments, and any calculated amounts of interest pertaining to credit made available for use by banks, as well as any sums of punitive interest calculated for the same in accordance with the principles of this Decree, are not deposited to the Fund by the concerned banks within the set time periods, the provisions of the Law No. 6183, which establishes the Procedures for the Collection of Public Receivable shall be applied.

If the banks do not comply with their responsibilities in accordance with this Decree, with the instructions of the Undersecretariat, the Central Bank of Turkey may effect a transfer from the correspondent account of the concerned bank.Top
