We prefer the Turkish lira as the basis of the selective credit policies that will ensure that loans are directed to investment, exports and employment to meet productive companies and areas, that will break the inertia in inflation and reduce dollarization.
We opted for a reformist understanding that prioritized the Turkish lira. The wheels of the system are fed with Turkish lira. It’s our money, our savings, and our investment. At the point reached today, the number of real and legal investors in Currency Protected Deposit and Participation Accounts has reached 2 million 138 thousand 489 in total.

Stating that the rally in the stock market is the strongest rally in the last 17 years, Minister Nebati stated that the main reason for this rise is production and employment in the economy and made the following statement:
Our capital markets renew confidence every day and look to the future with confidence. Our stock market closed the week with the strongest rally in 17 years in dollar terms, and ended the week with 3,521,38 points.
The index has been breaking records for 2 months. So much so that this rise marks the strongest rally since July 2005.
Borsa Istanbul is becoming more and more attractive for our publicly traded companies and investors. At the point reached today, our Capital Market has reached TL 4.8 trillion with more than 29 million investors and more than 56 million accounts.
