In late July 2026, Turkey’s Competition Authority reported that its January‑June enforcement actions resulted in administrative penalties totalling roughly 17 billion Turkish lira against 209 firms across sectors such as seeds, digital platforms, payments and AI. The authority highlighted ongoing investigations in digital services, education, labour, food and dairy, and noted the approval of Uber’s US$500 million investment merger under competition safeguards.

A week later, the authority fined Chinese e‑commerce platform Temu 3.7 million lira for obstructing an inspection during a price‑investigation. The penalty followed a search of Temu’s Istanbul office earlier in the year, which had briefly halted its Turkish operations before resuming with a locally‑based import entity. Temu accepted the fine and pledged compliance while continuing its market presence.

Together, the snapshots show the Authority’s broad, sector‑wide competition enforcement and its continued targeting of individual firms for specific antitrust violations.
