Gold Rush
Turkey is a high processing on gold (rafination ), with the capacity to purchase and manufacture. For this reason, the Stock Exchange Istanbul created for this purpose is officially in the market position where gold is traded. It also has a serious trading volume on the footed stock market and has a very serious power in the pricing of the market.
Although our country is in a serious position in the region of gold, it is not in a position to be sufficient for gold mining. For this reason, there is a very serious import and it is one of the most important items that cause the current deficit.
Golds from official roads come to our country with different processes and channels. The first of all is that the LBMA refinery gold, which is made with refinery 995/1000 or 999.9 /1000 purity with the permits received by the members of the Stock Exchange Istanbul, is traded in the Stock Exchange after import.
Another Method is that the producers bring standard or non-standard gold as an export price.
Companies with a manufacturer and capacity report can also bring standard or non-standard gold to process and sell abroad again within the framework of their capacity reports. Apart from these, there is no official way.
Here, we would like to analyze the last five years of the stock exchange companies, especially banks, in the Stock Exchange Istanbul.
