Cash crunch in the real sector: Chain risk warning from Prof. Dr. Evren Bolgün

Professor Dr. Evren Bolgün warned of a liquidity crunch in Turkey’s real sector, saying cash-flow strain at non-financial firms risks cascading through the economy via unpaid receivables and tighter credit. Speaking on the Ekonomi Masası program broadcast on Nasıl Bir Ekonomi TV’s YouTube channel, he flagged the wealth loss on Borsa İstanbul alongside the inflation path and the global market impact of the US midterm elections as key pressure points. The warning matters because a funding squeeze in the real economy can feed back into bank asset quality and investment, even as investors focus on the lira and disinflation. Watch next for corporate collections and borrowing costs, plus whether Borsa İstanbul losses deepen and how the US election outcome shapes global risk appetite.
