The Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector has extended a medium term $25 million corporate finance facility to Çalik Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret, the energy arm of Çalik Holding.
The proceeds will be used to support the company’s growing activities in the renewable energy sector.
