Foreign investors sell $1.83 billion in Turkish bonds over three weeks

Foreign investors sold $1.83 billion in Turkish government and company bonds over three weeks.

The sales came as Turkey’s securities regulator ordered 131 funds to be liquidated, affecting about 456,000 investors.

Some funds had invested in shares that were hard to sell, making it difficult to return money when people asked to withdraw it.

The fund crisis and bond sales happened during the same period; the article does not say one caused the other.
