Turkish FX Market
Foreign Exchange trading in Turkey has grown rapidly in the last few years. In the latest announcement, KIG BV highlighted the importance of the Turkish market for the global expansion of the company.
“Turkey is one of the most important markets in the MENA region, as it is highly developed and very competitive. Entering the Turkish market with a financial institution with such strong credentials will give us a significant advantage over our competitors. Işık Menkul is a company that prioritizes transparency, a key point in the establishment of a loyal client base. It is also a pioneer being the first zero commission stockbroker in Turkey which has helped it establish strong brand recognition, crowning its already highly reputable brand image,” Çubukçu concluded.
