Bank Letters Of Guarantee Under Turkish Law
A bank letter of guarantee is a central risk-allocation instrument in Turkish construction, infrastructure, public procurement, supply, energy and financing transactions. Its value lies in the issuing bank's independent promise to pay according to the terms of the instrument. That independence is commercially powerful, but it is not a licence to ignore the words of the guarantee, its expiry, the required form of demand or the narrow controls of good faith.
