Warning from Hakan Güldağ about a fund crisis: Companies are having difficulty paying salaries

Hakan Güldağ, chairman of Nasıl Bir Ekonomi Medya, warned that a funding crisis is disrupting corporate payment cycles in Turkey, with some companies now struggling to pay employee salaries. He attributed the strain to a liquidity squeeze that has unsettled the regular flow of payments across businesses. The warning matters because salary delays are an early signal that tighter credit conditions are spreading from financial markets into the real economy. Investors should watch upcoming corporate payment and employment data, along with any policy response from regulators, for signs of whether the strain deepens.
