The scope of activity for organizations conducting foreign exchange transactions in Turkey has been extended. Authorized organizations may now buy, sell and exchange foreign currency via bank transfer, provided they place the transfer order on the same day as their customers, or the actual physical delivery is made on the same day. The regulatory change represents the re-enactment of a previously repealed provision (Article 3(d)).
