Turkish Parliament tackles fund repayment bill and 2027 budget amid busy economic agenda

Economic issues dominate the Turkish Parliament’s October docket, starting with a nine-article fund-repayment proposal submitted by the AKP. The Planning and Budget Commission will hear the bill on Oct. 14, joined by the deputy finance minister, Capital Markets Board, BDDK and market-infrastructure representatives such as Borsa Istanbul and Takasbank. After an overview by the sponsors, both government and opposition MPs will debate the lack of a parliamentary inquiry into the fund crisis and seek details on investor support measures.

The legislation outlines repayment principles for roughly 455,000 investors, including inflation-adjusted principal and a possible interim payment of up to 1 million lira this month. Parallelly, President Erdoğan’s signed 2027 budget will be submitted on Oct. 16, with Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz presenting it after a week of scrutiny and reports from the Court of Accounts. The week also features key economic data releases and S&P Global Ratings’ sovereign rating update.
