Goldman Sachs analysts stated that Turkish investors withdrawing from money market funds have transferred a large portion of their savings to Turkish lira deposits. According to the analysis, this trend occurred following the liquidation crisis experienced in the funds.
Economy - While $4 billion flowed out of money market funds in Türkiye in September, Goldman Sachs stated that this money was primarily deposited in Turkish lira rather than in foreign currency or gold.
According to Goldman Sachs' analysis, money flowing out of money market funds in Türkiye has been directed not towards foreign currency or gold, but towards Turkish Lira deposits. The monthly increase in Turkish Lira deposits reached $20 billion.
The outflow of $4 billion from money market funds in the first two weeks of September had heightened concerns that the money might flow into foreign currency and gold. According to Goldman Sachs, the money withdrawn from the funds was mainly directed towards Turkish Lira deposits, with a monthly increase in lira-denominated deposits reaching approximately $20 billion.
According to journalist Zülfikar Doğan, the failure to intervene in time against the manipulations that have been known for about 10 months led to the fund crisis. Stating that investors could face significant losses with the liquidation of 130 funds from which 275 billion lira was withdrawn in a single week, Doğan said, "Those who invested 5,000 lira in these funds might only receive 500 lira."
