Turkish Capital Markets Board Lowers Shareholding Notification Threshold to 3% on Borsa Istanbul

The Capital Markets Board of Turkey (SPK) has reduced the shareholding notification threshold for companies traded on Borsa Istanbul from 5% to 3%. This change will require investors to disclose significant share changes in companies more frequently and transparently. Additionally, the SPK redefined the concept known as the Financial Status Score (FDP). With the new definition, the calculation method and scope of the FDP have been updated. This regulation will affect the criteria used by market participants to assess companies' financial health. The new decisions are expected to increase the public disclosure obligations of companies operating on Borsa Istanbul and provide investors with access to more information. This step by the SPK stands out as a regulation aimed at strengthening market transparency. Not investment advice.
