Turkiye's investment fund market remains fundamentally sound despite a series of investigations and fund liquidations, the country's central bank governor said, while pledging continued support for financial stability.
Fatih Karahan said the central bank would act to support financial stability without compromising its ongoing fight against inflation, signaling that efforts to protect market confidence would not come at the expense of the bank's broader monetary policy goals.
Rates to stay higher for longer
Karahan said recent supply shocks mean interest rates will likely need to remain elevated for a longer period than previously expected, underscoring the central bank's continued focus on taming inflation even as it moves to reassure investors about the health of the fund sector.
The comments come amid scrutiny of parts of Turkiye's investment fund industry, following a number of investigations and liquidations that have raised questions about oversight and risk management within the sector.
By emphasizing both financial stability support and sustained anti-inflation policy, Karahan appeared to be seeking to reassure both fund investors concerned about recent turmoil and markets watching for signs of a shift in the central bank's broader policy stance.
No further details on the scope of the investigations or which specific funds have been liquidated were included in the available statement.
