Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Şahap Kavcıoğlu announced he has asked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to be relieved of his duties as head of Turkey's Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK). The request leaves the leadership of the banking watchdog, which oversees lenders and sets sector rules, open at the president's discretion. Kavcıoğlu had led the BDDK since his appointment in 2023, having previously served as central bank governor. The move comes as investors watch for signals on the direction of Turkish monetary and regulatory policy. What to watch next is whether Erdoğan accepts the resignation and whom he names as successor, a choice that could shape banking-sector oversight.
