Turkish equities face potential exclusion from major global stock indexes following a stock manipulation scandal, a development that could have cascading effects on the country's financial markets. Index providers typically remove securities from their benchmarks when manipulation concerns arise, which forces passive investment funds to divest their holdings automatically. Such removals historically reduce market liquidity and limit foreign investor access to affected companies, potentially raising capital costs for Turkish firms seeking international financing. Beyond immediate trading impacts, the scandal threatens Turkey's broader reputation as a stable capital market destination and could weaken the structural attractiveness of Turkish equities to global institutional investors.
