The Capital Markets Board (CMB) of Türkiye has extended its ban on short selling transactions on Turkey’s stock exchange, Borsa Istanbul, until 10 April 2026.
In a statement, the CMB states that it imposed the original ban to ensure the functioning of capital markets in a reliable, transparent, and stable environment, while protecting the rights and interests of investors.
The statement further specifies that short selling transactions in the equity markets of Borsa Istanbul are prohibited, as well as the flexible application of the equity ratio requirement during the continuation of margin capital markets transactions.
The ban is intended to reduce market volatility as a result of rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
