DD Mortgage, Turkey’s leading mortgage company is moving aggressively to gain dominance in the

country’s mortgage market.

DD Mortgage was formed in 2006, when the world’s leading bank, Deutsche Bank and Dogan Company,

forged an alliance to start mortgage related business in Turkey.They have been in the forefront to

promote several konutkredisi products including pay per less frequently, the first home loan, commission

free home cash etc. They were the first to make portfolio sales in 2010 and issued 3 year term corporate

bonds to the tune of 50 million TL in 2010. They are also the first company to issue bonds in the

mortgage industry.

Demands for their products have surged, thanks to the substantial hike in the percentage of foreigners

who have invested in the country. In fact, Pricewaterhouse Cooper has named Istanbul as the

NumeroUno place in Europe for people to invest their money. This distinction has been bestowed on

Istanbul, twice in a row.

Thanks to the Mortgage Law passed in 2007, consumer loans have grown for the good with about

172.693 billion TL being issued as on February 2011, as compared to 91.353 billion in 2007.

As the country continues to progress, a large number of people are now migrating to cities and other

affluent cities. This has thus given a rise to the need for affordable housing. Mortgage companies like DD

Mortgage have made inroads in this sector as well. In fact, housing schemes launched for the poor are a

source of inspiration for countries like Kyrgyzstan. These schemes provide konutkredisi at a very low

interest rate of 6-8%, and can be repaid over 20-30 years.

After years of poor credit ratings, Turkey’s credit ratings got a shot in its arm, thanks to Standard and

Poor moving its local currency sovereign rating up by two notches, to BBB; i.e. to investment grade. With

positive prospects like these, DD mortgage is sure to make inroads.
