2.15 Corporate Social Responsibility Activities

In addition to fulfilling its primary duties and responsibilities, the CBRT continued to take part in social responsibility projects in 2024 as well.

After the 1999 earthquake, the CBRT built the Central Bank Derince Anatolian High School with contributions from the Bank of Greece, to support the region. In 2024, the CBRT continued to grant scholarships to successful graduates of the high school, who have enrolled in a university and who satisfy certain criteria, for the duration of their university education. In the 2023- 2024 academic year, 35 students actively benefited from the scholarship. A total of 144 students, excluding the scholarship recipients for the 2024-2025 academic year, have been awarded scholarships since 2002, when the school graduated its first students. Moreover, to encourage the level of success at the school, a graduation ceremony was organized and successful students were rewarded with plaques.

In 2024, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility Activities, the CBRT granted 1,701 pieces of furniture and fixtures (IT equipment, office, kitchen, health and safety equipment, etc.) to 27 public institutions.
