Foreign Investors Show Intense Interest in the Turkish Stock Market.

Significant Purchases According to Calculations by Foreign Investors

The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) released weekly securities statistics indicating that foreign investors continued their stock purchases in December, even after the second half of the month had passed. In the week of December 19, non-residents made a total stock purchase of 354.5 million dollars.

Purchases of Government Domestic Debt Securities (DIBS) and Other Sector (ÖST)

During this period, 202.8 million dollars worth of Government Domestic Debt Securities (DIBS) and 100 thousand dollars worth of Other Sector (ÖST) assets were purchased. The stock of foreign investors in stocks increased from 33 billion 66.6 million dollars in the week of December 12 to 33 billion 515.7 million dollars by December 19.

Stock Market Performance and Foreign Interest

As foreign investors’ interest in the Turkish stock market continued in this week, the stock of DIBS rose from 17 billion 775.8 million dollars to 18 billion 44 million dollars. This situation is evaluated as a positive sign regarding the economic conditions in Turkey.

On the other hand, considering that foreign investors also made 26.3 million dollars in stock purchases and 339.6 million dollars in DIBS purchases in the week of December 12, the significant increase in total investment amounts is remarkable.
