The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) provided a $3.6-billion loan package for the Turkish energy and transportation sector, Treasury and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said on Thursday.
'The $3.6 billion loan package from Chinese financial institutions for energy and transportation sector investments -- private sector, public institutions and banks -- has been completed,' Albayrak said in a tweet.
Albayrak also described his negotiations during a visit to China as 'fruitful'.
In May, Albayrak visited a number of institutions in China, including the ICBC.
ICBC Turkey is the first Chinese bank that started operations in Turkey by acquiring majority shares of a local bank in May 2015.
