By a convention signed on June 5,1933, and
subsequently ratified, the concession of the Bank in
Turkey has been prolonged up to LJarch, 1952. Notes
issuedby the bank prior to August 1914 - when the
privilege of note issue ceased to be utilised - retained
under the convention their character of legal tender.
The bank was given the right, subject to certain
conditions, to reduce the number of its agencies in
Turkey from 46 to 30 and was allowed to retain certain
fiscal privileges in Turkey while paying, under the
same conditions as the national banks, the tax on
profits realised in that country; in future the Dank
was to enjoy the same advantages and the same protection
as the national banks. In return for these and other
privileges the bank undertook to open to the Turkish
Treasury a statutory credit in current account of
£1,250,000 and a temporary credit of the same amount
(against Turkish pounds as security), the latter to be
deposited with the newly-fonned central bank of the
Republic for so long as the Ottoman Bank finds such
deposit convenient.
In the balance sheet as at the end of 1932
current account deposits were shown to have reverted
to a more normal figure as a result of the handing over
to the central bank of the Republic of the funds held
by the bank for the exchange consortium, which was
dissolved as soon as the central bank started its
activities. This operation was reflected also in a
reduction in the cash holdings of the Ottoman Bank,
whose financial position however remains strong.
