Procedures Relative to Foreign Investment

Obligation to Declare: The Capital Markets Law is the primary legislation governing public companies. This law also applies to public M&As, together with the Turkish Commercial Code. Takeover and merger rules are regulated and supervised by the Capital Markets Board, which is authorised to conduct investigations, request information and apply sanctions for non-compliance.
Competent Organisation For the Declaration: Capital Markets Board
Requests For Specific Authorisations: If the target is active in a regulated sector (such as telecommunications, energy, banking and financial services), approval from that sector's regulator may be required.
In sectors considered to be strategic - such as petroleum, media (radio and TV) and tourism - acquisitions are limited to a certain amount (law n° 6326 of 1954).
