In general the business year 2007 was characterized by the following. The credit crisis triggered in the United States,caused by high default rates in the subprime segment and a loss in confidence between the banks and a greateremphasis on the risk aspects. Driven by the effects of globalisation the crises soon spilled over to the banks inEurope. In 2007 the business cycle in the US as well as in Europe has reached its peak. On the other side the fastgrowing countries in Asia have pushed commodity and raw material prices to new highs.

The price for crude oil rose steadily to hit new record levels of up to USD 100 per barrel. Due to the poorperformance and diminishing prospects of the US economy the Euro also rallied to new highs and fell only veryshort of reaching the level of 1.50 against the US Dollar and closed the year at 1.47 constituting an appreciationof the Euro by 12.2 %.

The European Central Bank hiked its key interest rate twice during 2007 to 4 % at year end. As reaction to theliquidity crisis the Federal Reserve cut interest rates several times from 5.25% to 4.25% during 2007. The yield forUS Treasuries was at 4.04% compared to a yield of 4.70% in the preceding year.

Key events for Turkey in 2007 were internally the parliamentary and the presidential elections; externally Turkeywas influenced by the uncertainties on the international arena. This inevitably led to a slowdown in the economicperformance and growth to around presumably 4%. The ambitious goals for the inflation rate could not be achieveddue to the sharp rise in the energy and food prices. The consumer price index of 8.4% at year-end improved onlyinsignificantly compared to the previous year. The Central Bank has eased its monetary policy slightly and cut thebenchmark rate by 1% during the year from 17.25% to 16.25%. The pace of the deterioration of the current accountdeficit came down a little and stabilised at around 7.5% of the GDP. Although the prospects for Turkey in 2008are optimistic, the real performance will very much depend on the global risk situation and the global growthprospects. The global growth prospects and the availability of foreign loans will broadly determine Turkey's economicperformance in 2008 while political issues should be of less relevance.

During 2007 the Turkish Lira (TRY) fluctuated within a range of 1.60 - 1.80 in the second half of the year.

RISK REPORTING

The bank uses mainly money market instruments, fixed income instruments and credits. Derivatives are only usedfor the hedging of currency risk. The bank's risk management analyses and evaluates market risk, credit defaultrisk, liquidity risk and operational risk. The supervisory board defines the risk profile, the risk tolerance and themeasures of risk monitoring.

MARKET RISK

Market risk is evaluated by using the Value at Risk (VAR) approach. 15 days are assumed for current assets as anaverage duration and 240 days for fixed assets. By using the confidence interval of 97.72% the Value at Risk (VAR)amounted to Euro 0.92 Mio by the close of 2007.

CREDIT DEFAULT RISK

Monitoring of credit default risk is based on the evaluation of the solvency of the counter parties. To measure creditdefault risk VakifBank applies the probabilities of default published by Standard & Poor's. For counter partieswithout external rating, VakifBank International AG uses an internal rating system with 10 customer categories.

CURRENCY RISK

Currency risk is calculated by netting the matching currencies on both sides of the balance sheet and is hedgedby currency swaps.

LIQUIDITY RISK

As part of the liquidity management short and medium term liquidity of the bank is mainly controlled and managedby means of money market transactions in the treasury department to ensure the coverage of liquidity needs.

OPERATIONAL RISK

Operational risk is calculated by using the Standard Approach defined in the Basel II regulations. The risk calculationis an integral part of the risk management.

The country risk profile of the bank changed slightly in favour of the European Countries and CEE/CIS countries.The share of Turkish risk was further reduced due to Basel II regulations and diversification efforts of the bank.

OUTLOOK

Due to the turmoil on the global markets and their negative impact on the liquidity in the emerging markets(especially CIS) new loans to this region will be dealt with more selectively. Contrary to the past Turkey surprisinglyremained almost unaffected by the market turbulences. Therefore VakifBank International AG will again concentrateon its core market in Turkey (33% at year-end 2007) where it can assess risks more easily due to the competencyand presence of its parent.

Our target for the balance sheet total for 2008 is EUR 450 Mio. The expected profit for 2008 is EUR 4.5 Mio. Ourfocus will be on fixed income and credit business, whereby asset quality will have major priority.

However, the realisation of our targets will depend on the development and health of the global financial sectorand global growth.

After the closing of the balance sheet there were no significant events to be reported.
