Şimşek appeared before the MPs in the Parliament for the first time after the fund scandal: 'System' excuse!

Minister of Finance Şimşek answered questions regarding the funding crisis during the budget discussions of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Planning and Budget Commission. He stated that the CMB has the authority to audit, examine, stop transactions and impose sanctions in the capital markets, and that the minister or the minister personally does not have the authority to directly intervene in the market in these areas. He reminded that they warned stakeholders at the Capital Markets Congress on November 4, 2025, that the Financial Stability Board convened on December 2, and that regulations against manipulations should be completed. He said that he requested the CMB to implement the draft immediately on February 11, but that if the requirements are not fulfilled, those responsible for negligence and abuse will be held accountable. He stated that MKK records are solid and digital and that all transactions are examined from the birth of the funds to their death. He announced that he preferred to disclose the lists of people who left the system before the crisis, and that as of November 5, 21.3 billion liras were deposited to SDIF from 45 people. He stated that the value of the stock market in dollar terms was 428 billion dollars on September 16 and 326 billion dollars on November 4, but these figures could remain on paper if it recovers quickly. Responding to the criticism of not coming to the Planning and Budget Commission, he said that there was no such tradition in the new system. He emphasized that Tezmen's candidacy was suggested by Takasbank to MKK and that the taxes were paid by the Parliament. Most of the opposition motions were rejected, and the proposal to increase tradesmen's and craftsmen's loans from 92 billion lira to 125 billion lira was accepted unanimously.
