Borsa İstanbul
Borsa İstanbul brings together all the exchanges operating in the Turkish capital markets under a single roof.
Our mission is to establish, operate and develop transparent, efficient, reliable and accessible markets in facilitating trading, liquidity and price discovery for capital markets instruments; and to offer such markets to issuers, investors, intermediaries and other stakeholders thereby contributing to financing economic growth.
Borsa İstanbul is targeting to become a leading stock exchange of a size reflecting Turkey’s potential in terms of the number of publicly traded companies and market capitalization. This goal couples with maximum participation by domestic and international portfolio investors who trade both local and foreign capital markets instruments. Borsa İstanbul envisions a world-class in-house exchange technology which enables, among other things, linkages with other markets. This vision will add value to the drive of making Istanbul an international financial center.
