The New Movement of Foreign Investors in Turkey

The data published by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) in the "Weekly Securities Statistics" highlights the interest of foreign investors in the Turkish economy. Last week, foreign investors made a total investment of 35.7 million dollars in stock purchases. This figure is considered a strong indicator of confidence in the stock market in our country and the interest of investors in the Turkish stock index.

At the same time, foreigners also purchased 311.5 million dollars worth of Government Domestic Debt Securities (GDDS). This demand for GDDS shows that investors are seeking safe havens and that their interest in such instruments continues. These purchases can be interpreted as a sign of how attractive Turkey's domestic debt securities market has become on an international scale.

The stock and bond purchases made by foreign investors during this period demonstrate that interest in Turkey remains strong despite fluctuations in global markets. However, during the same period, the sale of 5.6 million dollars worth of assets outside the General Government Sector (GGS) suggests that some investors are reconsidering their risk perception in the markets.

This situation can provide a more general perspective on Turkey's economic structure and investment environment. The stock and bond purchases by foreign investors reflect not only short-term but also long-term investment strategies. Investors make these purchasing decisions considering Turkey’s current economic conditions, developments in the markets, and future growth potential.

The improvement of the investment environment in Turkey increases the interest of foreign investors while creating opportunities for local investors as well. In this period where economic indicators and financial data are of great importance, it is a reality that investors need to make careful and informed decisions. In the coming days, the volatility in the markets alongside these purchases will shape according to investors' expectations.
