Number of stock market investors fell by 350 thousand in November

In November, as the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (TCMB) continued its tightening measures and deposit interest rates maintained their upward momentum, the rapid decline in the number of investors in the stock market drew attention.

According to Central Securities Depository (MKK) data, the number of investors in the stock market fell to 8 million 205 thousand 982 in November. Thus, it was observed that the number of investors decreased by 349 thousand 862 compared to the previous month. This decline was the sharpest drop in the history of the stock market. With November, the upward trend in the number of stock market investors, which had been continuing for four months, has also reversed.

The number of investors in the stock market fell by 4.1 percent in November compared to the previous month. This rate of decline was recorded as the highest rate of decrease since the full lockdown in May 2021. In May 2021, when full lockdown measures were implemented due to pandemic precautions, the number of investors in the stock market had decreased by 5.9 percent, or 156 thousand 724.
