Reuters exclusively reported that Turkey is considering a fresh capital injection for state banks, but they also need a plan to deal with lingering bad debt after lenders depleted their resources helping Ankara’s battle against COVID-19. While privately-held peers were more conservative, the state banks nearly doubled their lending last year, helping the $720-billion economy avoid a contraction and mount a strong recovery helped by a speedy coronavirus vaccination campaign.
