AI-generated summary
CMB decided to liquidate some investment funds on September 17, 2026. These funds constitute a small portion of the total fund market.
Güler, at the press conference he held in the Parliament with AK Party Samsun Deputy Ersan Aksu and Antalya Deputy Atay Uslu, one of the first signatories of the proposal, stated that the bill consists of 9 articles.
Stating that macroeconomic stability and the resilience of the financial system are at the highest level, Güler stated that there is no negativity in the capital markets due to the strong structure of the financial field.
Emphasizing that the reliability of capital markets, protection of investors' rights and the rule of law are among his main priorities, Güler said, "We have prepared a special legal regulation in order to resolve the extraordinary situation experienced in investment funds, which were decided to be liquidated by the decision of the Capital Markets Board (CMB) dated September 17, 2026, in a fair and transparent way that takes into account the common interests of investors." he said.
Noting that the funds that CMB intervened in on September 17 never showed the general picture of the markets, Güler said:
"The total portfolio size of the funds in liquidation corresponds to only 2.4 percent of our household's financial assets. The 131 funds in liquidation constitute only 4.6 percent of the total number of funds in our system. In other words, the problem occurred in a certain and limited area of the fund market. But this does not mean that 'we will remain silent, ignore it or watch it silently'. Such a situation is never the case. On the contrary, we will fight against this virus with determination." "We will remove it from the body. This is exactly what we want to achieve with this proposal. It will be an important step to eliminate and liquidate these diseased elements, especially their impact on the capital market. In our bill submitted to the Presidency of the Parliament, we wish to protect the solid body of our markets and to continue their path in a much safer and more positive environment by purifying them from all kinds of risks."
Stating that the extraordinary developments in the funds in question necessitate a fair and transparent special legal framework that takes care of the beneficiaries, beyond the classical liquidation procedures, Güler said, "This bill we have prepared does not introduce a general or permanent liquidation regime for our capital markets. It is only a temporary exceptional regulation specific to the investment funds that were decided to be liquidated by the CMB's decision dated September 17, 2026, and whose liquidation has not been completed on the date of publication of this law." he said.
Güler emphasized that no public resources will be used within the scope of the process and that they will not be allowed to be used in the future, and reminded that the liquidation process will be completed from the funds' own assets.
Güler stated that they plan to discuss the bill in the Turkish Grand National Assembly Planning and Budget Commission next week, and then in the General Assembly.
Stating that the necessary investigations are continuing within the scope of the relevant articles of the Capital Markets Law, Güler stated that whoever is guilty within the scope of the relevant laws will be done to the fullest extent. Güler said:
"We are a big party, a big community. Anyone who has done anything will never get away with it. Everyone should be sure of this. We are not like anyone else. We can never show the shamelessness of people who are raided in hotel rooms and whose bribe money is found in baklava boxes in front of the whole public. We feel sad and ashamed, even if it is our brother, our friend, or a colleague in our party. We are saddened and hurt, but we will do what is necessary to the end."
