Non-resident investors sold $66.3 million of Turkish equities in the past week, the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye said in its weekly securities statistics. Foreign holders also sold $750.4 million of government domestic debt securities, known as DİBS, and $62.3 million of non-government debt, known as ÖST.
Bond sales dominate the outflow
Government bonds accounted for most of the selling. The $750.4 million sold in DİBS was more than eleven times the equity outflow over the same week.
Non-government debt, which covers debt issued by sectors outside general government, saw $62.3 million leave.
Reference point for stock holdings
The central bank’s stock figures are measured from the week of 30 October. The report does not give the exact end date of the reported week or the year, so the window for these flows is not fully pinned down.
ÖST stands for debt issued by sectors outside general government, a category the central bank tracks separately from state paper.
