Weekend Agenda

2026-09-13AI-powered weekend agenda review — preparing for the new week

1. Weekend Agenda Summary

The most decisive topic in the weekend economic agenda is oil hovering above $100 and its impact on energy costs. In Turkey, expectations for retirees and civil servants are rising while the increase in rental growth rates is noteworthy. Additionally, the strong performance of the DXY (Dollar Index) in global markets and uncertainties regarding the Fed's interest rate policy are affecting investors' risk perception.

2. Economy & Finance (Turkey)

With the establishment of standards for meat products, the regulatory process in the sector is accelerating. In credit card usage, costs have increased due to installment and maturity differences, revealing details that users need to pay attention to. Furthermore, the Constitutional Court's (AYM) recent decisions regarding retirement pensions are keeping expectations for additional increases alive among civil servants and retirees. The opening of the renewed Siirt Airport and digital transformation projects are also important parts of the economic agenda, reflecting Turkey's developments in infrastructure and the labor market.

3. Money & Currency

The gathering of Gulf countries in Oman for the Strait of Hormuz is bringing regional trade and security dynamics back to the forefront, while a 13% increase in natural gas prices in Europe has triggered an energy alarm. Strengthening expectations of interest rate hikes and the squeeze in DXY are increasing global risks. While the Dollar/TL continues its controlled rise, discussions about the dollar's safe-haven premium persist. Istanbul Stock Exchange closed the week with gains, while a wave of sales in crypto ETFs and a sharp drop in US consumer confidence were notable developments.

4. Real Estate

With the start of rental social housing applications in Istanbul on September 14, a new wave of demand is expected in the housing market. Vakıf GYO's eco-friendly projects and Luxera GYO's multi-billion lira investment in Veliefendi reflect developments in the sector. Additionally, the importance of proper valuation techniques in urban transformation processes, the Ministry of Trade's statements regarding the sector, and changes in financing methods for housing sales are shaping the real estate market's trajectory. Along with the September 2026 rental increase rate, rental pressure is also rising.

5. Trade & Foreign Trade

According to data released by the Ministry of Trade, exports increased by 8.1% and imports by 10.5% in foreign trade, maintaining the growth trend. These data clarify Turkey's position in global trade and its dependence on external demand, while also highlighting the pressure of energy costs on imports.

6. Geopolitical & Global Economy

The attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz with unknown munitions and attacks on weapon depots in Saudi Arabia have refreshed geopolitical risks. These developments were influential in oil prices exceeding $100 and the negative trend in global markets. The decline in European stock markets due to rising energy costs shows that wars are changing investors' direction. BRICS countries' calls for moderation in the Middle East and allegations regarding Russia's attack attempt in Leipzig are further complicating global security dynamics.
