Turkey Economic Calendar August 6, 2026: Bond Purchases Peak, Housing Sales Near Record

As of August 6, 2026, Turkey’s economic calendar draws attention with foreign investors’ bond purchases hitting a peak and a striking recovery in the housing market.

Markets may view the sudden surge in foreign bond demand as a confidence signal, yet its sustainability hinges on macro‑economic stability and declining credit costs. The housing sector’s rebound reflects the low‑interest environment, but lingering inflation could curb buyer purchasing power. Regulators must continue policies that support deposit growth to preserve liquidity. In the short term, rising bond yields and FX deposit inflows suggest continued capital inflows, though external shocks and geopolitical risks remain a concern.
