The Capital Markets Board of Turkey (SPK) and the Union of Turkish Notaries organized a financial literacy training at the Notaries Union building on August 6, 2025, as part of the "Collaboration Protocol for the Promotion of Financial Literacy" signed on the same date.

The Importance of Financial Literacy

The President of the Union of Turkish Notaries, Serdar Arat, emphasized in his speech that enhancing financial literacy is crucial for creating a healthy economic structure for individuals, institutions, and society.

Arat highlighted that the "Financial Literacy Day" declared with the Presidential General Communiqué on May 22 reflects the importance placed on increasing financial awareness.

The Significance and Goals of the Protocol

Arat stated, "This protocol is not just a framework document but a concrete step towards strengthening our profession and increasing financial awareness. This training will greatly contribute to our institutional sustainability and strategic planning."

Digitalization and the Risk of Fraud

The Chief Advisor to the Capital Markets Board, Buket Salkım, expressed that they see financial literacy as a vital element for strengthening social economic stability. Salkım warned, "Social media platforms have become breeding grounds for fraud."

Salkım noted that with the increase in digitalization, every financial interaction leaves a trace, and that notaries play a critical role in the legal verification process of these traces.
