Turkish financial market volatility and investment shifts

Overview

In early October, the Turkish Treasury scheduled several debt securities auctions to meet financing needs, involving various currencies. During this period, government debt securities were reported to have provided the highest real returns when adjusted for the Producer Price Index, outperforming gold and the BIST 100 index.

By late October, market conditions shifted toward significant outflows. Data from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye indicated that foreign investors sold Turkish equities for a third consecutive week. Total bond sales, including both government and private-sector bonds, exceeded $1.8 billion over a three-week period. This period of volatility followed an investment fund crisis. While foreign investors moved away from lira-denominated assets, domestic residents significantly increased their foreign-currency deposits.
