Allegations of Fund Crisis in Capital Markets Opened to Parliamentary Investigation
Republican People's Party deputies submitted a motion to the Turkish Grand National Assembly to investigate the fund crisis in the capital market and identify those responsible.
A parliamentary investigation motion was officially submitted to the Presidency of the Turkish Grand National Assembly by CHP deputies to thoroughly examine the allegations of a fund crisis in the capital markets and investigate victimizations of investors.
Rationale and Signatories of the Motion
In the parliamentary investigation motion submitted to the Presidency of the Turkish Grand National Assembly with the signatures of CHP Group Chairman Faik Öztrak and Group Deputy Chairmen Rahmi Aşkın Türeli, Sevda Erdan Kılıç, and Serkan Sarı, it was stated that transactions in the markets shook investor confidence.
The Extended Dimension of the Crisis
It was argued that the event known in the public as the fund crisis was not a single-day liquidity crunch starting in September 2026, but rather turned into a payment crisis as a result of developments that became evident in late 2025 and spread over a period of approximately 10 months.
Allegation That Institutions Were Informed
Drawing attention to the Capital Markets Board's statement dated September 18, 2026, it was claimed that the institution had been aware of the transactions in question since at least the last quarter of 2025, and it was asserted that Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek was also aware of the manipulative transactions during the same period.
Delayed Steps and Small Investors
The motion claimed that necessary administrative and legal steps were not taken in a timely manner, and this situation paved the way for unfair gains, causing the grievances experienced especially by small investors to grow.
Liquidation Process and Parliamentary Oversight
Following the CMB's extension of the maximum period for liquidation from three months to six months on September 21, parliamentary oversight was demanded by emphasizing that portfolio liquidity, real market values, and the maturity of investor receivables must be examined.
