Ziraat Bank during the First World War

During the twentieth century, and in the middle of the First World War, a special law was enacted by the Turkish Agricultural Bank dated 1916 AD, stipulating that the bank assist farmers, provide seeds, agricultural equipment, and deliver these supplies to farmers on a cash or credit basis.

During these troubled times in which bread was rationed, the state was implementing austerity policy and encouraging everyone in this direction, and the bank provided many possibilities for deposits to encourage people to save money at that time.
