There was a total outflow of $460mn from Turkish equity and debt securities markets in the week ending 22 July, following a $1.2bn inflow in the week before the coup attempt, data from the central bank showed on July 28.
Foreign investors offloaded $220.5mn worth of equities last week versus a $374mn inflow in the previous week, while there was an outflow of $240mn from government debt securities that followed an inflow of $812mn in the week ending July 15.
Given the scale of the political turmoil triggered by the coup, last week’s selloff is small, showing foreign investors’ trust in Turkey’s $720bn economy.
Turkey’s markets had a bad week after the coup attempt. But as the government defeated the coup the markets have stabilized.
The main stock exchange index, the BIST-100, fell more than 13% between July 15 and July 21. Stocks, however, have gained 2.1% this week. The benchmark index was up 0.12% on July 28.
The lira fell nearly 6% against the greenback after the putsch. It, however, strengthened almost 1% this week. The local currency was trading at 3.0134 per dollar at 5:20pm local time.
