Ersin Basar Ekmekci was appointed deputy chairman, and Yasemin Girici joined the board as a member. The decree was signed by President Tayyip Erdogan.
Atci replaces Mahmut Sutcu, who was dismissed as chairman on October 20. Before this appointment, Atci led Turkey's tax audit board.
why it matters
The Capital Markets Board oversees trading in securities and disclosure by listed companies, so a change at the top matters to investors in Turkish stocks and bonds. Market participants typically watch whether the new leadership keeps the regulator's previous course.
