  "account": "Turkiye has initiated a review of fund rules following a market upheaval that saw $20 billion in assets wiped out. A board responsible for overseeing the rapid liquidation of affected funds reported on Friday that work had begun on new amendments to the Capital Markets Law, with relevant institutions directed to finalize the proposed changes. The Fund Coordination Board, chaired by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, convened last week to discuss the issue, with the State Supervisory Council (DDK) also tasked to examine it. Nearly half a million investors were impacted, holding stakes in over 100 funds with combined assets totaling $20 billion. The board reviewed existing measures and discussed new steps during Friday's meeting, including secondary regulations and a timetable for payments linked to decisions made by the Capital Markets Board on Wednesday. The State Payments Korea (SPK) has pledged to make interim payments to investors in the closed funds, offering the full net investment amount for those below TL 1 million ($20,404) and a TL 1 million interim payment for those with investments of TL 1 million or higher. Payments will commence with money market funds. The draft amendments, which have been in development for some time, were also discussed. The authorities emphasized that the planned regulations should not place an additional burden on citizens, describing the problem as confined to a \"specific and limited\" segment of the fund market. They assured that the resolution efforts would proceed swiftly and effectively, adhering to capital markets rules and upholding fairness and equity.",
