Statement on Fund Liquidation and State Oversight by Former Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci

While the fund liquidation processes for numerous investors across Turkey continue, shortcomings in audit mechanisms remain a subject of debate. Statements made by former Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci regarding allegations of losses in his fund investments have drawn significant attention.

Fund Liquidations and Allegations

While the liquidation process of funds holding the money of hundreds of thousands of investors continues, the functioning of market audit mechanisms also evokes a widespread public response.

It was claimed that AK Party Deputy Chairman and former Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci invested in the TP2 fund belonging to Tera Portföy, which has been placed under review, and that a portion of this investment was lost.

Statements by Nihat Zeybekci

Evaluating the recent developments, former Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci argued that there was negligence by the state in the process.

Zeybekci stated that the state has the means to know, monitor, and directly intervene in such financial movements second by second.

Expert Evaluations

Former MASAK Vice President Ramazan Başak drew attention to the Nihat Zeybekci example in his assessment of the issue.

Başak stated that the fact that even a former minister responsible for the economy had invested in such funds demonstrates that the problem cannot be explained solely by financial literacy.

Auditing and Responsibility Debates

It is stated that small investors operating in a regulated and audited market cannot bear all the responsibility entirely on their own.

According to experts, in cases where the state fails to fully perform its auditing duty, it is imperative that it also be part of the solution.
