We expect BIST growth to continue in the first half of 2023. New public offerings could positively impact demand through June as BIST is the unrivaled channel best responsive to yield seeking. I do not foresee such high returns in 2023. We see strong, low-debt companies holding their own even if the stock market drops.

Technical founder of Crypto Oytun Es: I think next year will be positive for cryptocurrencies. In the new year, the macroeconomic balance is in favor of bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. If other equity markets follow the FTX crisis, we will have a hard time for a while. There is a bone cryptocurrency investor in our country and he continues to invest regardless of the circumstances.
