Bank Asya, which is known for its close ties with the Gülen Movement, is now in an even more critical condition after the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) reportedly issued a "warning letter" to the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK). The "confidential" note delivered to the BDDK states that the bank might not be able to provide the required reserves for its deposits in the central bank. The bank faced a TL 6 billion deposit outflow and a TL 7.6 billion decrease in assets as well as an 81 percent drop in its profits in recent months. Furthermore, the default loan amount of the bank and the rate of loans being followed up have reached critical levels. The BDDK started to investigate transactions of Bank Asya in order to determine whether the bank will be able to fulfill its obligation.
