Borsa Istanbul Imposes Short Selling and Margin Trading Ban on AKFIS and IHAAS Shares

Throughout this timeframe, transactions for these two stocks can only be conducted using cash assets.
Measure Period and Objectives The start date and duration of these measures have been finalized by Borsa Istanbul.
The restrictions are scheduled to remain in effect until the close of the session on March 19, 2026.
The primary objective of the Volatility Based Measure System (VBTS) is to maintain market stability by limiting extreme price fluctuations and protecting investors from potential risks of loss.
Market Expectations Experts suggest that such temporary measures are likely to increase investor confidence by reducing short-term volatility, though they may have a limited impact on long-term price movements.
Borsa Istanbul stated that it will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the VBTS in similar situations and will take additional measures if necessary.
