Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Malatya leads Turkey’s provinces in gold-deposit concentration, with gold accounting for 37.57% of individual savings there, according to Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) data. Karabük and Kütahya rank second and third, while Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir trail in the share of gold deposits relative to total savings. The figures highlight how household store-of-value preferences vary sharply across Turkey, with smaller Anatolian provinces showing far greater reliance on gold than the major metros.
