03.12.2025

Invest in Visions (IIV), through the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds and the IIV FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS, FCP RAIF – DKM MIKROFINANZFONDS A, has successfully invested in TuranBank, one of Azerbaijan’s leading banks in financing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

We are pleased to work with TuranBank and Incofin to further improve the financing conditions for SMEs”.

The attracted funds are of great importance in strengthening the country’s business environment, supporting regional entrepreneurship, and fostering new economic opportunities. We would like to thank the Incofin Investment Fund for its important role in structuring this transaction. TuranBank will continue to broaden its cooperation with international partners and invest in projects that contribute to the socio-economic development of the country,” said Orkhan Garayev, Chairman of the Management Board of TuranBank OJSC.
