Istanbul Borsa drops over quarter of main stocks
The Istanbul Stock Exchange announced the replacement of more than a quarter of the components of the main BIST 100 index in the largest rebalancing of the index in six years. This came following regulatory measures on investment funds, which included excluding companies such as Destek Finans and Esenboğa Elektrik, and reintroducing Anadolu Group Holding and Tüp Gıda to the index. These changes follow the Turkish Capital Markets Board's imposition of restrictions on investment concentration and updates to the methods used to calculate free float percentages, aimed at enhancing market stability after a sharp sell-off last week. The main index remained stable, rising by 0.4% since the beginning of the week, after declining about 8% the previous week, amidst government measures to monitor large investment funds and liquidate 131 funds.
