Turkey chapter of “The International Capital Markets Review” by Ömer Çollak and Ökkeş Şahan is published on The Law Reviews.
Although securities markets in Turkey have a long history, the recognition of securities as a separate area of law is relatively new. After the nasty experiences and substantial losses incurred by so many following the unregulated securities offerings in the 1980s, the Capital Markets Law No. 2499 (the Former CML) was introduced in July 1981. The Capital Markets Board (CMB), the Turkish capital markets regulatory and supervisory authority, was incorporated and endowed with all necessary powers under the Former CML. Since its incorporation, the CMB has undertaken a leading role and, while conducting its regulatory and supervisory role, has also supported the improvement of the markets and the innovation and introduction of new capital market instruments.
