Binbasgil pilots Akbank through Turkey’s turbulence

Hakan Binbasgil has built Akbank into one of the most impressive financial institutions in the emerging markets. Can he keep the bank on track?

Correction and Apology to Mr Özince and Isbank

In the August 2016 issue of Euromoney, in our article ‘Binbasgil pilots Akbank through Turkey’s turbulence’, we incorrectly stated that “Isbank’s chairman, Ersin Özince, was arrested in March and charged with financing a fuel-smuggling ring, which he denies”.

It has since been brought to our attention, however, that Mr Özince has never been on trial regarding the crime mentioned in our article and has never been arrested. We are happy to issue this correction and apologise for any offence caused to Mr Özince and to Isbank.

Thanks for your interest in Euromoney!
