Türkiye's government has ruled out using Treasury funds to cover losses incurred by investment funds currently undergoing liquidation, Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said, according to Anadolu Agency.
Yilmaz said that instead of Treasury-backed compensation, authorities plan to make interim principal repayments of up to $20,326 to investors affected by the extraordinary liquidation of the funds in question.
Priority for Small Investors
According to Yilmaz, the planned repayments will prioritise small investors who hold stakes in the funds being wound down. The approach appears designed to limit the financial exposure of ordinary savers while avoiding a broader Treasury-funded bailout of the affected investment vehicles.
The announcement comes amid continued scrutiny of Türkiye's investment fund sector, where liquidation proceedings of this kind can affect a wide range of retail investors who placed capital into funds that are later found to require winding up under extraordinary measures.
Yilmaz did not specify, in the reported remarks, how many investors are expected to be affected, or the total value of the funds involved in the liquidation process.
The decision to rule out direct Treasury funding suggests the government intends to keep the cost of resolving these fund failures separate from public finances, instead relying on existing fund assets and the structured interim repayment mechanism to address investor claims.
Further details on the timeline for the interim repayments, and on which specific funds are covered by the liquidation process, have not yet been made public.
