The performance of investment instruments in Turkey over the past year has been revealed. Due to the effects of inflation, interest rates, and global developments, some investment instruments provided high returns, while others disappointed investors. The biggest disappointment for investors was the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
In the last year in Turkey, 3 investment instruments were compared. We compared the results obtained by those who invested their money in deposits, those who invested in gram gold, or those who tried to evaluate by buying shares from Borsa Istanbul. Here is the investment instrument that did not yield any profit in the last year...
DEPOSITS AMONG THE HIGHEST EARNERS
A investor who invested 1 million TL in deposits at the beginning of 2024 increased their money to 1 million 600 thousand TL as of February 25, 2025. This means a return of 60 percent. The high interest rates offered by banks made deposits an attractive option for investors.
GRAM GOLD RUSHED TO THE PEAK
Gold became another instrument that pleased its investors. While the price of gram gold was 1,970 TL on February 25, 2024, it rose to 3,403 TL on February 25, 2025. Thus, it provided a return of 71 percent to gold investors. The uncertainties in global markets and the search for a safe haven against inflation contributed to the rise in gold prices.
BORSA ISTANBUL DISAPPOINTED ITS INVESTORS
The shares traded on Borsa Istanbul disappointed their investors. While the BIST 100 index was at 9,400 points on February 25, 2024, it remained at the same level as of February 25, 2025. In other words, it did not provide any profit to stock investors. Volatile market conditions and uncertainties limited the movements in Borsa Istanbul.
