THE CENTRAL
BANK
OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY
FOR THE YEAR ENDED
31 DECEMBER 2003
March 9, 2004
To The Central Bank of
The Republic of Turkey
Ankara
We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Central Bank of The Republic of Turkey (“the Bank”), solely to provide reasonable assurance that;
Any matters other than defined procedures are the responsibility of the users.
The procedures we have
performed are as follows:
1) Read the Letter of Intent dated October 31, 2003.
2) Reconciled the amounts of NIR, NDA and Base Money prepared by the Bank in accordance with the definitions set out in Annex G and Annex H of the Letter of Intent dated October 31, 2003.
3) Obtained written independent confirmation from the Treasury for the related balances.
4) Reconciled the data of NIR, NDA and Base Money prepared by the Bank with the audited IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) financials as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 which had been audited in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Findings:
1) During the reconciliation of the data with the audited financials, we have adjusted the data used by the Bank for the matters mentioned in the following paragraph:
a) We have reclassified the interest expense and income accruals to the related accounts, which had been classified in the interest and expense accruals and interest and income accruals by the Bank.
b) We have netted off the foreign loan with its provision amount, which is classified by the Bank in Net Domestic Assets.
Limitation:
The data for NIR, NDA and Base Money are being prepared as the averages of the last five days of the related period. Since we have only audited the data of 31 December 2002 and 31 December 2003, we do not express an opinion for the data for the remaining four days.
Subject to the findings
and the limitation noted above, the performance of the procedures enumerated
above did not bring to our attention any matters which would cause us to
believe that the Bank’s calculation of NIR, NDA and Base Money as at December
31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 are materially misstated.
