Firms may obtain loans from abroad in foreign currency or Turkish lira; however, foreign currency loans may only be obtained if the borrower meets the eligibility criteria for using foreign-currency loans under the applicable regulations. Such loans must be utilized through banks.
- For Turkish lira–denominated loans, if the average maturity is less than one year, the Resource Utilization Support Fund (RUSF) is applied on the interest.
- For foreign currency–denominated loans, if the average maturity is less than three years, Resource Utilization Support Fund (KKDF) is applied on the principal amount.
