Asset fund to speed up projects
There is no problem in financing existing projects. With the fund of funds, it will be possible to establish other funds. When you receive a long-term loan, credit institutions take additional costs by taking into account the risk. With this fund, the risk will be reduced and the cost will not increase. It will enable faster and easier funding of large projects in transportation. Increase the speed of projects.
Average 20 thousand vehicles pass per day
Together with the Osmangazi Bridge, we opened the 58-kilometer section. Our guarantee for the bridge is 40 thousand. If you make an investment of 6,5 billion dollars without spending any money in projects of this size, there are guarantees to be given here. The traffic we initially expected from the bridge was 15 thousand. Currently, an average of 20 thousand vehicles a day pass. This is above what we expected. When we open the road to Bursa at the end of the year, vehicle traffic will increase when the entire highway is finished. We will also exceed the guarantee figure. The news with 5-6 thousand figures based on false information.
