Turkey expands e‑Devlet services and financial reforms

Entities: Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB) · e‑Devlet portal · Gülcan Kış · Central Securities Depository (MKK) · Turkish citizens

Overview

In late July 2026 Turkey added two e‑Devlet tools to improve financial transparency. A Ministry of Trade portal let individuals view corporate ownership ties and restrict unauthorised inclusion, while the Central Bank’s service listed payment‑card and e‑wallet accounts held by a person. On 1 August the Central Bank launched the “Payment and Electronic Money Institution Account Ownership Query” tool, and the Central Securities Depository received approval to run a Crypto Asset Central Registry, extending e‑Devlet oversight to crypto‑asset registration. The account‑query service became operational on 2 August, consolidating digital‑wallet information for citizens and heirs.

On the same day, MP Gülcan Kış warned that Turkish households owed 6.677 trillion lira in credit‑card, consumer‑loan and overdraft debt, describing a “debt spiral.” In response, the Central Bank introduced a revised foreign‑exchange conversion decree, removing the previous “no‑purchase” pledge, applying a balance‑sheet‑based position test, and extending a 3 % export‑support rate to small‑ and medium‑sized manufacturers. The bank also completed the first phase of its Digital Turkish Lira project, evaluating 85 proposals and advancing 23 projects covering tokenisation, programmable payments and user‑controlled identity. Together, these measures illustrate a broad push to modernise Turkey’s financial infrastructure while confronting rising household debt.
