Bank management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statement in accordance
with Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents published in the Official Gazette

statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the unconsolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with communique Independent Audit of Banks published by BRSA on the Official Gazette No.29314 dated
2 April 2015 and with the Independent Auditing Standards which is a part of Turkish Auditing Standards promulgated by the
Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (POA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.
An independent audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
unconsolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the independent auditors professional judgment,
including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the independent auditor considers the internal control relevant to banks preparation
and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the banks internal control. An
independent audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

142 SECTION IV INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
Nature of interest rate risk resulted from banking book, major assumptions including also early repayment of loans and
movements in deposits other than term deposits and frequency of measuring interest rate risk
Interest rate risk resulted from banking book is due to repricing maturity differences of assets and liabilities. Considering
repricing maturities, average maturity of asset items is higher than the average maturity of liability items.
Interest risk is evaluated weekly considering size, developments at maturity structure and interest movements relating to asset
and liability items. Interest risk exposed by the bank is managed centrally by the asset and liability committee and within the
direction of decisions taken, the balance sheet interest sensitivity is aimed at minimum level and insured by interest based
derivative contracts.
The effect of potential changes on interest rates to net present value is calculated within the scope of Regulation on
Measurement and Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk Resulted from Banking Book as per Standard Shock Method and reported
monthly.
Measurements performed with Standard Shock Method include all on and off balance sheet items in the Banking Book based on
the classification as per the statutory accounting and reporting. Maturity assumption relating to demand deposits is overviewed
yearly with analyses over at least five year data. By such analyses, the Bank gathers information on average duration of its
demand deposits, and the amount and trend of deposit charge offs from different maturity brackets.
Economic value differences resulted from interest rate instabilities and prepared based on the Banks non-consolidated
financial statements according to Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk Resulted from Banking Book
as per Standard Shock Method
Interest rate risk for all banking transactions outside the trading portfolio are followed under interest rate risk related to the
banking book. Interest rate risk related to the trading portfolio is followed under market risk.
ALCO performs daily management of interest rate risk in accordance with the risk limits set by the Board of Directors of the
Bank in relation to interest rate sensitivities of the banking book. ALCO meetings are held on a weekly basis.
The measurement process of interest rate risk resulting from the banking book is designed and managed by the Bank on a bank-
only basis to include the interest rate positions defined as banking book by the Bank and to consider the relevant repricing and
maturity data. Duration gaps, gaps by maturity brackets and sensitivity analysis are used in monitoring of repricing risk resulting
from maturity mismatch. The duration gap and sensitivity analysis are carried out weekly. In the duration gap analysis, the
present values of interest-rate-sensitive asset and liability items are calculated using yield curves developed from market interest
rates.
In case of instruments with no maturities, the maturity is determined as per interest rate fixing periods and customer behaviors.
Such results are supported by sensitivity and scenario analysis applied periodically for possible fluctuations in the markets.
The Banks economic value differences arising from the interest rate fluctuations pursuant to the Regulation on the Measurement
and Assessment of Interest Rate Risk Arising from Banking Accounts According to the Standard Shock Method in a manner
separated by different currencies are demonstrated in the following table as of 31 December 2016.
The Bank does not have associate and subsidiary traded at BIST markets as of 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: None).
b. Realized gains/losses, revaluation surpluses and unrealized gains/losses on equity securities and results included in core
and supplementary capital
Liquidity risk can form as a result of significant changes which can happen in market liquidity or a general funding risk. Funding
risk states the risk of not meeting cash outflows completely because of maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities while
market liquidity risk states the risk of not liquidating assets because of a collision in market conditions or insufficient market
depth.
The securities portfolio of the Bank carried in order to liquidity risk management is structured in a way to consist of public
securities and treasury stocks issued by Treasury of Turkey in order to reduce liquidity risk sourcing from market to minimum
level. Criteria and principles related to security investments which shall be received to this portfolio are committed on paper and
approved by the related committee.
Management of risk sourcing from funding presents the fundamental of liquidity management activities of the Bank. Main funding
source of the Bank is deposits since it is a more stable funding source compared to other sources and it has a diversification
effect. Additionally, security issuance and credit usage activities are performed in order to extend the maturity of funding.
A large majority of Banks liabilities consist of TL, US Dollar, Euro and gold. The main foreign currency funding source of the
Bank is credit received from deposit and credit agencies. Foreign currency liquidity risk is at a low level since the foreign
currency sources of the Bank are at a higher level than assets.
The Board of Directors approved Risk Appetite Disclosure on 30 March 2016 in order to manage risks in accordance with the
Banks strategy and its financial power. Risk Appetite Disclosure includes limits towards liquidity risks besides other risk limits.
Risk appetite limits are reported to senior management monthly in scope of risk management activities.
Short-term liquidity management of the Bank is under the responsibility of Treasury Group. Treasury Group reports to Assets
and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) weekly related to liquidity structure. ALCO has an active role in establishing related systems
and monitoring and decision making processes regarding liquidity risk management. ALCO is also responsible and authorized
for monitoring current liquidity position and legal and internal liquidity indicators and taking decisions related to liquidity
management taking risk appetite framework into consideration.
Liquidity risk management is performed as par consolidated and non-consolidated. In this context, liquidity monitoring and
management in associates are performed by the related associate and monitored closely by the Bank.
Scenario analyses, including specific conditions having significance with respect to liquidity which have been experienced or
which shall possibly be experienced, are performed in order to measure liquidity level under stress conditions. A liquidity level
at a sufficient amount to meet all liabilities even under stress conditions is aimed in scope of this scenario analyses through
evaluating measures which can be taken. Assumptions related to liquidity stress tests are reviewed annually at minimum.
Periodical stress tests are performed within the determined scenarios and liquidity situation is monitored.
144 SECTION IV INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
An Emergency Liquidity Action Plan is established in order to form a trustable and proactive tracking mechanism which can
provide keeping sufficient liquidity reserve under all conditions and to make forecast regarding measures which can be taken
against unexpected liquidity squeezes of the Bank. It is approved by the Board of Directors. Emergency Liquidity Action Plan
includes target levels towards several liquidity indicators related to liquidity reserves and balance sheet structure besides duties
and responsibilities related to liquidity management.
Liquidity coverage rates calculated in accordance with the Regulation on Calculation of Banks Liquidity Coverage rate published
in Official Gazette dated 21 March 2014 and numbered 28948 are as follows. Unconsolidated foreign currency rate calculated
for the last three months is at the lowest level in the week of 11 November 136,82 and at the highest level in the week of 30
December 289,66 while the liquidity coverage rate is at the lowest level in the week of 2 December 93,98 and at the highest
level in the week of 23 December 122,19.

months, average of unconsolidated liquidity coverage rate which is calculated by means of weekly simple arithmetic average for the last three
months
Calculation table of liquidity coverage rate is reported to BRSA weekly and monitored daily in the Bank.
High quality liquid assets consist of cash assets, reserves kept in Central Bank of Republic of Turkey and unrestricted marketable
securities. Cash outflows consist of deposits, bank borrowings, non-cash loans, derivatives and other liabilities without a certain
maturity. Additionally, several bank borrowings are shown as cash outflow regardless of their maturity since they include
contingent early payment condition. Cash inflows consist of credits having maturity less than 30 day and a certain payment due
date and receivables from banks and derivative products.

Counterparty credit risk is determined according to type of counterparty and the transaction. Counterparties are divided into
segments as financial institutions, corporate-commercial customers, KBI-Micro-Gold-Agriculture customers and individual
customers. Transaction types are grouped as derivative financial products and repo transactions.
Compliance test is applied in line with production information, financial position and transaction frequency of the customer in
order to determine products and services provided to customers.
Credit worthiness of counterparty is analysed before the transactions causing counterparty credit risk and periodically reviewed.
Reviewing frequency is increased if required.
Limits, in line with risk appetite, policy and strategies of the Bank are determined for the transactions in scope of CCR. Those
limits are approved by Board of Directors for banks. Approval authorizations determined in scope of credit allocation process are
applied for parties apart from banks. Limits are reviewed at least annually. If the market conditions get worse or credit qualities
of certain counterparties decline, limits are reviewed and required changes are made. Approved limits are blocked with the
approval of Credit Committee/Credit Allocation Department, if required.
Risk mitigation methods such as netting contracts, collateral and margin contracts are used in counterparty credit risk
management related to financial institutions. Collateralization principles and procedures are applied in scope of credit policy and
procedures currently applied within the Bank for counterparties apart from financial institutions.
DENZBANK FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2016 157
Potential and current risk amounts of transactions are calculated/determined in order to determine counterparty credit risk. The
risks of transactions that are subject to the legally binding bilateral netting agreement and to which the netting transaction can
be applied are followed together.

None.
f. Market risk
Principles, policies and limits related to management of market risk are approved by board of directors and periodically
reviewed. The Bank is exposed to market risk mainly due to interest rates, exchange rates and changes which may occur in share
and commodity prices. When the asset structure of the Bank is examined, it is concluded that the most significant one among
aforementioned risks is interest and exchange rate risk. Two separate methods, standard method and internal method, are
used in measurement of aforementioned risks.
Value at risk approach is mainly taken as basis in the follow-up process of risk limits. There exist sensitivity limits in addition to
aforementioned limit for risk which are not covered by the model. Parametric approach is adopted since the structure of financial
positions held by the Bank is simple and the model is easy to use and understandable. Value at risk calculations are made over
all instruments and foreign currency positions of the Bank which are sensitive to interest. Value at risk calculations are supported
with stress tests and scenario analysis and possible results of potential market movements which can cause a significant impact
on the Bank although having a low possibility to emerge are examined. Retrospective tests of the model are made periodically
and amendments can be made in the model in accordance with test results, if required.

IX. Presentation of financial assets and liabilities at their fair value
The fair value of held-to-maturity assets are determined based on market prices, or when they are not available, based on market
prices quoted for other securities subject to similar terms of interest, maturity and other conditions.
The expected fair value of the demand deposits represents the amount to be paid upon request. The fair value of the overnight
deposits and floating rate placements represent their carrying value. The expected fair value of the fixed rate deposits are
determined by calculating the discounted cash flows using the market interest rates of similar instruments.
The expected fair value of fixed rate loans and receivables are determined by calculating the discounted cash flows using the
current market interest rates. For the loans with floating interest rates, it is assumed that the carrying value reflects the fair
value.
Estimated fair value of banks, funds provided from other financial entities, issued securities and deposits is calculated through
determination of discounted cash flows using current market interest rates.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The carrying value represents
the sum of the acquisition costs and interest accruals of financial assets and liabilities.
TFRS 7 sets classification of valuation techniques according to the inputs used in valuation techniques based on fair value
calculations which are whether observable or not.
Fair value levels of financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value in the Banks financial statements are given below:

SECTION SEVEN
(Convenience translation of the independent auditors report originally issued in Turkish, See Note I.c of Section Three)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Denizbank A.. (the Bank) and its consolidated subsidiaries
(together will be referred as the Group) as at 31 December 2016 and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated
statement of income and expense items accounted under shareholders equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and
consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory notes to the financial statements.
Bank management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statement in accordance
with Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents published in the Official Gazette
no.26333 dated 1 November 2006 and other regulations on accounting records of Banks published by Banking Regulation
and Supervision Agency (BRSA), circulars, interpretations published by BRSA and BRSA Accounting and Financial Reporting
Legislation which includes the provisions of Turkish Accounting Standards for the matters which are not regulated by these
regulation and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial
statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with communique Independent Audit of Banks published by BRSA on the Official Gazette No.29314 dated
2 April 2015 and with the Independent Auditing Standards which is a part of Turkish Auditing Standards promulgated by the
Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (POA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.
An independent audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the independent auditors professional judgment,
including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the independent auditor considers the internal control relevant to banks preparation
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the banks internal control. An
independent audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion the accompanying consolidated financial statements presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Denizbank A.. and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with the prevailing accounting principles and standards set out as in accordance with BRSA Accounting
and Financial Reporting Legislation.

II. Explanation on the strategy for the use of financial instruments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies
Denizbank Financial Services Groups (DFS Group) external sources of funds are comprised of deposits with various maturity
periods, and short-term borrowings. These funds are fixed rate in general and are utilized in high yield financial assets. The
majority of the funds are allocated to high yield, floating rate instruments, such as Turkish Lira and foreign currency government
securities and Eurobonds, and to loans provided to customers on a selective basis in order to increase revenue and support
liquidity. The liquidity structure, insures meeting all liabilities falling due, is formed by keeping sufficient levels of cash and cash
equivalents by diversifying the sources of funds. The Bank assesses the maturity structure of the sources, and the maturity
structure and yield of placements at market conditions and adopts a high yield policy in long-term placements.
DFS Group assumes risks within the pre-determined risk limits short-term currency, interest and price movements in money and
capital markets and market conditions.
These positions are closely monitored by the Risk Management System of the Parent Bank and the necessary precautions are
taken if the limits are exceeded or should there be a change in the market environment.
In order to avoid interest rate risk, assets and liabilities with fixed and floating interests are kept in balance, taking the maturity
structure into consideration.
The asset-liability balance is monitored on a daily basis in accordance with their maturity structure and foreign currency type.
The risks associated with short-term positions are hedged through derivatives such as forwards, swaps and options.
No risks are taken as far as possible on foreign currencies other than US Dollar and Euro. Transactions are made under the
determined limits to cover the position.
Net foreign currency position of DFS Group in foreign enterprises is considered along with the position of the Parent Bank and
the specific position is evaluated within the risk limits.
b. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
Foreign currency exchange rates used in converting transactions denominated in foreign currencies and their presentation in
the financial statements
DFS Group accounts for the transactions denominated in foreign currencies in accordance with TAS 21 The Effects of Changes in
Foreign Exchange Rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions that are completed as of the balance sheet
date are translated to TL by using historical foreign currency exchange rates. Balances of the foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities are translated into TL by using foreign currency exchange rates of the Parent Bank and the resulting
exchange differences are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses. The Parent Banks foreign currency exchange rates are
as follows.
As of 31 December 2016, net foreign exchange loss included in the income statement amounts to TL 599.624 (1 January 30
September 2015: net foreign exchange loss of TL 1.527.603).
Total amount of valuation fund arising from foreign currency exchange rate differences
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to TL at foreign exchange rates of the Parent Bank ruling at the
balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to TL at nine months average foreign
exchange rates of the Parent Bank. The foreign exchange differences derived from translation of income statements of
consolidated subsidiaries, and arising from the difference between TL equivalent of their equities and the Parent Banks share in
their net assets are recorded in other profit reserves.
As of 31 December 2016, total foreign exchange differences in equity amount to TL 1.128.050 (31 December 2015: TL 522.439).

DENZBANK FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2016 247
Nature of interest rate risk resulted from banking book, major assumptions including also early repayment of loans and
movements in deposits other than term deposits and frequency of measuring interest rate risk
Interest rate risk resulted from banking book is due to repricing maturity differences of assets and liabilities. Considering
repricing maturities, average maturity of asset items is higher than the average maturity of liability items.
Interest risk is evaluated weekly considering size, developments at maturity structure and interest movements relating to asset
and liability items. Interest risk exposed by the bank is managed centrally by the asset and liability committee and within the
direction of decisions taken, the balance sheet interest sensitivity is aimed at minimum level and insured by interest based
derivative contracts.
The effect of potential changes on interest rates to net present value is calculated within the scope of Regulation on
Measurement and Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk Resulted from Banking Book as per Standard Shock Method and reported
monthly.
Measurements performed with Standard Shock Method include all on and off balance sheet items in the Banking Book based on
the classification as per the statutory accounting and reporting. Maturity assumption relating to demand deposits is overviewed
yearly with analyses over at least five year data. By such analyses, the Bank gathers information on average duration of its
demand deposits, and the amount and trend of deposit charge offs from different maturity brackets.
Economic value differences resulted from interest rate instabilities and prepared based on the Parent Banks non-consolidated
financial statements according to Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk Resulted from Banking Book
as per Standard Shock Method
Interest rate risk for all banking transactions outside the trading portfolio are followed under interest rate risk related to the
banking book. Interest rate risk related to the trading portfolio is followed under market risk.
ALCO performs daily management of interest rate risk in accordance with the risk limits set by the Board of Directors of the
Parent Bank in relation to interest rate sensitivities of the banking book. ALCO meetings are held on a weekly basis.
The measurement process of interest rate risk resulting from the banking book is designed and managed by the Parent Bank on
a bank-only basis to include the interest rate positions defined as banking book by Parent the Bank and to consider the relevant
repricing and maturity data. Duration gaps, gaps by maturity brackets and sensitivity analysis are used in monitoring of repricing
risk resulting from maturity mismatch. The duration gap and sensitivity analysis are carried out weekly. In the duration gap
analysis, the present values of interest-rate-sensitive asset and liability items are calculated using yield curves developed from
market interest rates.
In case of instruments with no maturities, the maturity is determined as per interest rate fixing periods and customer behaviors.
Such results are supported by sensitivity and scenario analysis applied periodically for possible fluctuations in the markets.
The Groups economic value differences arising from the interest rate fluctuations pursuant to the Regulation on the
Measurement and Assessment of Interest Rate Risk Arising from Banking Accounts According to the Standard Shock Method in a
manner separated by different currencies are demonstrated in the following table as of 31 December 2016.
DFS Group does not have associate and subsidiary traded at BIST markets as of 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: None).
b. Realized gains/losses, revaluation surpluses and unrealized gains/losses on equity securities and results included in core
and supplementary capital
Liquidity risk can form as a result of significant changes which can happen in market liquidity or a general funding risk. Funding
risk states the risk of not meeting cash outflows completely because of maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities while
market liquidity risk states the risk of not liquidating assets because of a collision in market conditions or insufficient market
depth.
The securities portfolio of the Parent Bank carried in order to liquidity risk management is structured in a way to consist of
public securities and treasury stocks issued by Treasury of Turkey in order to reduce liquidity risk sourcing from market to
minimum level. Criteria and principles related to security investments which shall be received to this portfolio are committed on
paper and approved by the related committee.

funding source of the Parent Bank is deposits since it is a more stable funding source compared to other sources and it has a
diversification effect. Additionally, security issuance and credit usage activities are performed in order to extend the maturity of
funding.
A large majority of Parent Banks liabilities consist of TL, US Dollar, Euro and gold. The main foreign currency funding source
of the Parent Bank is credit received from deposit and credit agencies. Foreign currency liquidity risk is at a low level since the
foreign currency sources of the Parent Bank are at a higher level than assets.
The Board of Directors approved Risk Appetite Disclosure on 30 March 2015 in order to manage risks in accordance with the
Parent Banks strategy and its financial power. Risk Appetite Disclosure includes limits towards liquidity risks besides other risk
limits. Risk appetite limits are reported to senior management monthly in scope of risk management activities.
Short-term liquidity management of the Parent Bank is under the responsibility of Treasury Group. Treasury Group reports to
Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) weekly related to liquidity structure. ALCO has an active role in establishing related
systems and monitoring and decision making processes regarding liquidity risk management. ALCO is also responsible and
authorized for monitoring current liquidity position and legal and internal liquidity indicators and taking decisions related to
liquidity management taking risk appetite framework into consideration.
Liquidity risk management is performed as par consolidated and non-consolidated. In this context, liquidity monitoring and
management in associates are performed by the related associate and monitored closely by the Parent Bank.
Scenario analyses, including specific conditions having significance with respect to liquidity which have been experienced or
which shall possibly be experienced, are performed in order to measure liquidity level under stress conditions. A liquidity level
at a sufficient amount to meet all liabilities even under stress conditions is aimed in scope of this scenario analyses through
evaluating measures which can be taken. Assumptions related to liquidity stress tests are reviewed annually at minimum.
Periodical stress tests are performed within the determined scenarios and liquidity situation is monitored.

groups separately by systems and it is not permitted to take risks exceeding determined limits. Many factors such as ability
to pay, features of the sector and possible impacts of geographical and economic conditions are taken into consideration while
determining the credit limits of counterparty. If deemed appropriate, it is tried to reduce possible losses of the Bank to minimum
through applying required risk mitigation techniques. All documents required by the related legislation should be taken into
account during credit examinations. Credit worthiness of counterparty is periodically controlled for limits provided for multi-use
and limits are revised considering changes and requirements in the credit worthiness of counterparty. Customers are determined
based on their classes by credit allocation officers and respective classes are changed, if required.
Credit allocation and monitoring is performed in accordance with segregation of duties and therefore, the credit can be reviewed
in an objective manner during its economic life. Risk models are used in order to measure credit risk of customers in both
allocation and monitoring groups in an accurate and objective manner. Early Warning Systems are used for the tracking of credit
customers and signals received are regularly tracked by Monitoring groups and pre-determined action plans are taken with
allocation groups if pre-determined triggers are detected.
Relation between credit risk management, risk control, legal compliance and internal audit functions
Credit Risk Control periodically presents analysis and results of execution of internal rating systems, development of credit rating
grades, documentation of changes made in credit grade and compliance to internal limitations to Rating Committee. Compliance

Counterparty credit risk is determined according to type of counterparty and the transaction. Counterparties are divided into
segments as financial institutions, corporate-commercial customers, KBI-Micro-Gold-Agriculture customers and individual
customers. Transaction types are grouped as derivative financial products and repo transactions.
Compliance test is applied in line with production information, financial position and transaction frequency of the customer in
order to determine products and services provided to customers.
Credit worthiness of counterparty is analysed before the transactions causing counterparty credit risk and periodically reviewed.
Reviewing frequency is increased if required.
Limits, in line with risk appetite, policy and strategies of the Bank are determined for the transactions in scope of CCR. Those
limits are approved by Board of Directors for banks. Approval authorizations determined in scope of credit allocation process are
applied for parties apart from banks. Limits are reviewed at least annually. If the market conditions get worse or credit qualities
of certain counterparties decline, limits are reviewed and required changes are made. Approved limits are blocked with the
approval of Credit Committee/Credit Allocation Department, if required.
Risk mitigation methods such as netting contracts, collateral and margin contracts are used in counterparty credit risk
management related to financial institutions. Collateralization principles and procedures are applied in scope of credit policy and
procedures currently applied within the Bank for counterparties apart from financial institutions.
Potential and current risk amounts of transactions are calculated/determined in order to determine counterparty credit risk. The
risks of transactions that are subject to the legally binding bilateral netting agreement and to which the netting transaction can
be applied are followed together.

None.
f. Market Risk
Principles, policies and limits related to management of market risk are approved by board of directors and periodically
reviewed. The Bank is exposed to market risk mainly due to interest rates, exchange rates and changes which may occur in share
and commodity prices. When the asset structure of the Bank is examined, it is concluded that the most significant one among
aforementioned risks is interest and exchange rate risk. Two separate methods, standard method and internal method, are
used in measurement of aforementioned risks.
Value at risk approach is mainly taken as basis in the follow-up process of risk limits. There exist sensitivity limits in addition to
aforementioned limit for risk which are not covered by the model. Parametric approach is adopted since the structure of financial
positions held by the Bank is simple and the model is easy to use and understandable. Value at risk calculations are made over
all instruments and foreign currency positions of the Bank which are sensitive to interest. Value at risk calculations are supported
with stress tests and scenario analysis and possible results of potential market movements which can cause a significant impact
on the Bank although having a low possibility to emerge are examined. Retrospective tests of the model are made periodically
and amendments can be made in the model in accordance with test results, if required.

The fair value of held-to-maturity assets are determined based on market prices, or when they are not available, based on market
prices quoted for other securities subject to similar terms of interest, maturity and other conditions.
The expected fair value of the demand deposits represents the amount to be paid upon request. The fair value of the overnight
deposits and floating rate placements represent their carrying value. The expected fair value of the fixed rate deposits are
determined by calculating the discounted cash flows using the market interest rates of similar instruments.
The expected fair value of fixed rate loans and receivables are determined by calculating the discounted cash flows using the
current market interest rates. For the loans with floating interest rates, it is assumed that the carrying value reflects the fair
value.
Estimated fair value of banks, funds provided from other financial entities, issued securities and deposits is calculated through
determination of discounted cash flows using current market interest rates.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The carrying value represents
the sum of the acquisition costs and interest accruals of financial assets and liabilities.
TFRS 7 sets classification of valuation techniques according to the inputs used in valuation techniques based on fair value
calculations which are whether observable or not.
Fair value levels of financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value in DFS Groups financial statements are given
below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
