AK Securities General Manager Berrin Önder asserted that Turkey had been very successful in attracting foreign investors, with their share on the İstanbul Stock Exchange (İMKB) reaching 70 percent.
However he also added that “Turkish investors should display their interest in the markets, too.” Önder was in Adana yesterdayto participate in the Securities Agenda Congress . In an interview with the Anatolia news agency Önder spoke about his company, saying: “AK Securities provides services to their customers regarding stocks, bonds, buying and selling investment funds and repossession. We give also assistance in investment counseling.” Excessive liquidity in the world markets, successful steps taken on the path to EU membership and — excluding the last two months — stable economic improvement have played a vital role in attracting foreign investors, Önder claimed. “If a single party emerges again after the upcoming elections or if strong coalition government comes out, we expect the rise in the stock market to continue,” he said. “However if the atmosphere stays unclear amid political instability, the stock market may fall,” he warned.
