The Capital Movements Circular (“Circular”) has been amended with the letter of Ministry of Treasury and Finance of Republic of Turkey numbered 940051.

The change has been realized within the framework of the general principles of domestic leasing.

Residents in Turkey can obtain foreign currency loans from banks and financial institutions in accordance with the Decree No. 32 on the Protection of the Value of Turkish Currency, yet a firm cannot provide foreign currency loans to another firm.

Although it is possible to carry out the transaction within the same holding or within the group in accordance with the circular in the presence of certain conditions; the company that uses a loan by using a new foreign currency loan will not be able to transfer the loan to another company, even if it is within the same holding or within the group according to the new amendment introduced.

Developments Concerning Liquidity Measures In The Capital Markets And The Fund Liquidation Process

On 16 September 2026, the money market funds founded by Pusula Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş. defaulted after failing to meet the cash redemption requests received from investors, triggering a sharp sell off on Borsa Istanbul. The BIST 100 index lost 5.54% that same day and hit a circuit breaker; the selling soon spread to Tera Portföy funds as well. It became apparent that the problem was not confined to those two firms but also extended to Hedef, Atlas, A1 Capital, Pardus and Bulls Portföy.

Turkish Capital Markets Board Introduces Measures On Investment Funds

Borsa Istanbul’s BIST 100 index came under significant selling pressure over three consecutive trading sessions between 15-17 September 2026. The index closed down 5.54% on 16 September, a move that triggered Borsa Istanbul’s index-linked circuit breaker, and negative momentum continued into the morning of 17 September. The sell-off was primarily triggered by a default at Pusula Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş., a portfolio management company, which failed to meet investor redemption requests from certain funds it manages in a timely manner. A similar liquidity problem emerged at Tera Portföy Yönetimi A.Ş., and this situation put pronounced pressure on the shares of both companies as well as on broader market indices.
