Erdoğan: New regulations coming to boost Türkiye’s investment climate

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced that Türkiye will soon implement new regulations aimed at improving the country’s investment climate and boosting its global competitiveness, with a particular focus on financial awareness. Speaking at the Financial Literacy Day programme in Istanbul, Erdoğan noted that a recent parliamentary bill already enacted measures to encourage foreign capital inflows.

Resilience and safe‑haven status

Erdoğan emphasised that recent regional events — including the Iran war and its spillover effects — have proven Türkiye’s resilience against crises through its economy, defence industry, diplomatic capacity, social solidarity, and stable governance. “This period once again showed that our country acted as a safe haven in its region,” he said. He added that the government is determined to strengthen this exceptional aspect of Türkiye in the coming period, commissioning legal, administrative, financial, and institutional reforms.

Financial literacy and market integrity

The president congratulated the National Education Ministry and the Capital Markets Board for reaching approximately 18 million students with financial literacy content following the declaration of May 22 as Financial Literacy Day. He stressed that protecting investors and consumers from market risks remains a top priority. “Regulatory institutions must prevent manipulation and speculation to protect citizens who invest their hard‑earned savings,” Erdoğan said, adding that increasing trust in capital markets is essential to direct idle savings into value‑creating areas.
