  "account": "Turkiye has outlined a comprehensive strategy to repay nearly 500,000 investors affected by the liquidation of over 130 investment funds. According to Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, the first disbursements are scheduled for Thursday, with the plan being financed solely by the funds' own assets, not public funds. The investigation and market intervention initiated by Turkish authorities in the past month stemmed from suspected price manipulation in several thinly traded stocks, resulting in significant losses and redemption pressures for investment funds.\n\nOn September 17, the Capital Markets Board (SPK) imposed a halt on trading in funds managed by seven management companies, subsequently ordering their dissolution. Authorities have arrested or ordered the detention of top executives implicated in the scandal. The 131 funds slated for liquidation constitute approximately 4.6 percent of all funds in Türkiye and 7.7 percent of the total portfolio value, as reported by Yılmaz on Thursday.\n\nPayments will commence for 43,643 investors in 17 funds managed by A1 Capital, Bulls, and Pardus on Thursday. These funds are being wound down using the traditional liquidation method, which commenced on Monday. Furthermore, authorities are preparing for the ordinary liquidation of Atlas Portföy. If sufficient collateral is obtained, the 56,614 investors in 16 funds of Atlas Portföy would receive their reimbursements promptly, according to Yılmaz.",
