Erdoğan: Terrorizing capital markets undermines the economy

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the 13th Innovation Week of the Turkish Exporters Council (TİM), held at the Haliç Congress Center; he rejected criticism directed at capital markets in harsh terms, citing the fund problem as justification.

Erdoğan stated, "Terrorizing capital markets undermines the economy." Emphasizing that those using the fund problem as a "shield" were wrong in their approach, Erdoğan also expressed that the issue in question has been brought under control.

In the broader context of his remarks, Erdoğan criticized the disregard of the human factor during a period when artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous technologies are gaining momentum; he said he found the year's theme, "Humanity's New Era," appropriate.

The fund crisis had last appeared on market agendas a week earlier; Erdoğan's statement today was read as a signal that the government has closed the matter. For capital market actors and Borsa Istanbul investors, the weight of this message overshadowed the rest of Innovation Week's technical content.
