Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Turkey’s Trade Ministry said nearly 4.8 million loans totaling 907.8 billion lira were extended to tradespeople and artisans from 2002 through the end of October, with 168.1 billion lira disbursed in the first 10 months of 2026 alone. The ministry also raised the upper limit for business loans to 1.5 million lira and for investment loans to 3.5 million lira. The figures underscore the scale of state-backed credit support for small businesses, a key constituency for the government. Watch for how the higher loan caps affect borrowing demand and whether the pace of disbursements continues through year-end.
