QNB Finansleasing Secures EUR 130 Million Syndicated Facility with GCPF Participation to Scale Green Leasing in Türkiye

Zurich, 13 August 2025 – The Global Climate Partnership Fund (GCPF), managed by Swiss impact investment manager responsAbility Investments, has partnered with the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank FMO and a group of international investors to provide EUR 130 million in syndicated financing to QNB Finansleasing, one of the largest leasing companies in Türkiye. The investment will support the company in scaling its green leasing portfolio and expanding access to climate finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Türkiye.

QNB Finansleasing has a solid track record of working with development finance institutions and has made significant progress in promoting green leasing solutions. With this transaction, the company is expected to be better positioned to expand renewable energy and energy efficiency financing for its growing SME client base.

This transaction represents one of the largest syndicated financings in the Turkish leasing sector to date, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s strategy and long-term sustainability ambitions.

Türkiye’s climate goals backed by internation partnerships

Türkiye is actively pursuing its national climate goals and welcomes both funding and expertise from international partners. This investment contributes to bridging the climate finance gap by empowering more local institutions to deliver targeted solutions that support the country’s transition toward a low-carbon future.

Blending long-term capital with technical assistance for greater impact

In addition to the financial investment, QNB Finansleasing will benefit from technical assistance provided by GCPF. This support aims to enhance the company’s institutional capacity and contribute to the development of innovative green leasing products, further strengthening its position as a climate finance leader in the Turkish market.
