RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

2019 was another year of great challenges and opportunities. The major risks businesses are and will be facing today and tomorrow are not the same as yesterday. Within this chapter we will share 10 types of risks and opportunities that we believe are relevant for the banking sector, shaped by this year’s mega trends and how they impact Garanti BBVA and our stakeholders.

Below mentioned risks and opportunities are addressed through a variety of hard and soft controls such as Garanti BBVA’s risk management approach and through initiatives carried out under the framework of material issues as explained in performance chapters and in the “Corporate Governance & Risk Management” section.

 

Challenges and opportunities with regards to the Turkish Economy and Turkish Banking Sector are further addressed in “The Environment We Operate In” section.
