Fortunes in the Istanbul Stock Market
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing the history and growth of Turkey's stock market over the past decade and how it has affected relations with international investors. Turkey's economy is rather typical of successfully developing markets in that it enjoys an overall upward trend but suffers from occasional setbacks as all markets do. What sets Turkey's Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) apart from the markets of other developing nations is that its overall upward trend is so very impressive. In the first six months of 2000, the ISE was the best-performing of all the world's markets in developing nations, posting a six-month total return of 171.8%. The ISE has been dominated by local retail investors for much of its history, but international institutional investors accounted for 51% of the ISE's capitalization by 1999. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
