- Summary/Abstract:Although the financial technology (fintech) industry is relatively nascent in Iraq but has been experiencing a steady growth in recent years. Fintech, describes the use of technology to supply financial services and products in a modern shape. The growth of fintech in Iraq has been driven by various factors such as a young population, an increase in smartphone penteration and a desire for more easily available and effective financial services. However, this rapid growth in the fintech industry has not been without a number of challenges and obstacles Moreover, the absence of appropriate measures and regulations may led to negative impacts on the financial sector and fintech industry in general. Therefore, this study highlights the capabilities and advantages of financial technology (fintech) while emphasizing the need for an enabling environment, including appropriate regulatory rules, information security, and communication technology infrastructure. We emphasize the importance of reviewing legal and regulatory frameworks and managing risks associated with innovative financial and banking products. We also addresses the impact of fintech on money laundering, noting the speed and difficulty of detecting such operations in modern banking technology and highliting the role of the Central Bank of Iraq in granting licenses to fintech companies. The study suggests enhancing financial infrastructure, protection systems against cyberattacks, and improving the readiness of regulatory authorities to address potential threats. Furthermore, We stresse the importance of increasing financial knowledge and literacy among customers and Iraqi population in general, where financial services and fintech products are underutilized. Additionally, it concludes by acknowledging that while fintech presents opportunities, companies in this space must navigate complex regulations, address cybersecurity risks, build consumer trust, and compete with traditional financial institutions. Finally, We call for the increased availability of ATMs and POS machines across Iraq to enhance financial services and accessibility.

- Summary/Abstract:The US Dollar Index is an important indicator of the global economy, as it measures the value of the US dollar against a basket of other currencies. The Dollar Index is used by investors, traders, and decision-makers to inform their investment and trading decisions, as well as to monitor the health of the global economy. In recent years, machine learning techniques have gained popularity in the field of finance for their ability to analyse large amounts of data and provide accurate predictions. This study explores the use of machine learning techniques for predicting the Dollar Index. The study compares the performance of different machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Artificial Neural Networks, in predicting the Dollar Index. The study uses daily data on the Dollar Index from January 2000 to December 2020, which is pre-processed and normalized before being used in the machine learning models. The study finds that machine learning models outperform traditional methods in predicting the Dollar Index. The Random Forest algorithm performs the best among the models tested, with an accuracy of 98.5%. The study also provides a detailed analysis of the feature importance of the input variables in the prediction models, which can help decision-makers understand the factors that affect the Dollar Index. The study concludes that machine learning techniques can provide decision-makers with valuable insights for their investment and trading decisions. The study suggests that future research can explore the use of other machine learning algorithms and input variables to improve the accuracy of the prediction models.

- Summary/Abstract:This study investigates the validity of the Shari’ah-Compliant Asset Pricing Model (S-CAPM) and alternative Fama-French Factor Models, as well as the comparative performance evaluations of these models, in explaining the variation in stock returns in the BIST Participation All Index. The validity and comparative performance of the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models are measured using adjusted R2, mean absolute intercept, GRS F-test statistic, and the probability value of the GRS-F test. The empirical findings of the study, based on the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models using the return mudharabah (RMDZ) instead of the risk-free rate as suggested by Faisol, Nidar, and Herwany (2022), indicate that the S-CAPM RMDZ, S-FF3F RMDZ, S-FF5F RMDZ, and S-FF6F RMDZ are valid for the BIST Participation All Index. Among these models, the S-FF6F RMDZ performs better in explaining the variation in stock returns. To test the robustness of the empirical findings for the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models with RMDZ, the study also employs S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models created using the inflation rate instead of the risk-free rate, as proposed by Hanif (2011), in the BIST Participation All Index. The empirical findings confirm the results obtained from the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models with RMDZ. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to test the S-FF6F model. Additionally, the study presents an alternative asset pricing model for the S-CAPM. Besides, this study makes significant contributions to the field of finance, particularly in the context of Islamic finance.

- Summary/Abstract:In the scope of the modern finance theory, it is not possible to deal with the return factor from the risk factor independently. While rationalist investors would like to maximize their returns on their investments, they want to minimize their risks. They expect to be rewarded with a higher return for the extra risk they take. In this context, some indices calculated within the scope of BIST have been subjected to performance valuation with risk-adjusted return methods. In the study, BIST Sustainability (XUSRD), BIST Corporate Governance (XKURY), BIST Dividend (XTMTU) and BIST Participation 30 (XK030) indices were addressed and M2 Performance Ratio, T2 Performance Ratio, Jensen Alpha and Fama Decomposition methods were used to calculate the risk-adjusted returns of the indices. In the study, 251-day data set in the period of 03.01.2022-30.12.2022 was used. Data were obtained from Refinitiv Eikon. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the BIST Participation 30 index is the index with the best performance in terms of all methods. This is one of the findings that proves that Islamic indices, which have an important mission to transfer idle capital to financial markets and to create an effective real economy by spreading capital, do not have any disadvantage in terms of rationality when compared to their conventional counterparts. Although the BIST Dividend index has the lowest performance in terms of all methods, it should not be forgotten that the returns discussed in the research are capital returns, and the dividend income provided by the relevant companies should also be considered in addition to the capital return at the investment stage.

- Summary/Abstract:Financial markets have a very important role in national economies. Money markets and capital markets, which are the components of this market, are important markets that direct capital in the country. These markets undertake important functions for both individual investors and institutional investors. For the development of the country's economy, it is desired to increase the number of investments and projects. However, companies will need new resources for a new investment here. It is more difficult to reach these needed resources in underdeveloped and developing countries. Insufficient savings and insufficient production can be cited among the reasons for this lack of resources. In addition, even if they reach sufficient resources in the markets, companies cannot reach the level of efficiency they want in some cases due to some risks. First of all, we can divide the risk types that cause the efficiency of the firms to decrease by negatively affecting the firm's activities as systematic risk and unsystematic risk. The type of risk that affects the whole economy and that companies cannot intervene alone means systematic risk, and the type of risk that companies can reduce by taking some measures refers to non-systematic risk. Of course, systematic risk and non-systematic risk are divided into a number of sub-branches and can affect companies in different dimensions. Firms should correctly identify the type of risk that causes failure in their own activities, which reduces their efficiency, and after this determination, they should take some measures to eliminate or minimize the effect of this risk type. Here, first of all, the risk should be defined correctly and the type of risk should be determined. After the identification of the risks, measures should be taken to minimize or eliminate the negative effects of this risk. Firms can benefit from a number of methods while struggling with risks. In finance, the Capital Asset Pricing Model is a model used to determine the theoretically appropriate required rate of return for an asset to make decisions about adding assets to a well-diversified portfolio, and since unsystematic risk can be eliminated, the return of a risky investment will be in return for the systematic risk taken.

- Summary/Abstract:The trading of capital assets in İstanbul, which has begun in the second half of the 19th century with the trading of debt securities among Galata merchants in the process of transitioning into a financial bourgeoisie, continues today under the roof of the modern Borsa İstanbul campus in Sarıyer, İstinye. This study discusses the evolution of capital asset trading activity in Istanbul from the late Ottoman period to the present day in the light of socioeconomic developments and events that have affected the economy. In this process, the exchange survived three moratoriums (1875, 1895 and 1958), two world wars (1914-1918 and 1939-1945), and more than a dozen economic crises and managed to emerge stronger from the bottlenecks experienced. Our modern stock exchange started its operations in its Cağaloğlu building with only 19 listed shares under the name of Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) on January 3, 1986, and merged with the Futures and Options Exchange and the Istanbul Gold Exchange on April 3, 2013, under the name of Borsa İstanbul (BIST). With 501 listed shares, a total market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion Turkish liras, and a monthly trading volume in excess of 100 million lots, BIST globally ranks thirty-seventh in terms of its market capitalization and first in terms of its average share turnover today.

- Summary/Abstract:The speed of investors' access to information shows a parallel development with the increasing technological developments, and this situation is important for investors to direct their current savings. In addition, many psychological and sociological factors can affect investors' risk perceptions and investment decisions. In this study, the relations between risk appetite and the stock market are examined on a sectoral basis. BIST Industrial Index (XUSIN), BIST Services Index (XUHIZ), BIST Financial Index (XUMAL) and BIST Technology Index (XUTEK), respectively, representing the industry, services, financial and technology sectors, which are among the sectors that make up a significant size of the Turkish economy, are included in the scope of the study. In the study, the risk perceptions of capital market investors were represented by the Risk Appetite Index (RISE). In the study, monthly data for the period of January 2010-June 2022 were used. In the study, the relationships between BIST sector indices and risk appetite were investigated using cointegration analysis, causality analysis, impulse-response analysis and variance decomposition analysis. As a result of cointegration analysis, while no cointegration relationship was found between RISE and XUTEK, statistically significant cointegration relationships were found between other sectors indices and RISE. As a result of the causality tests, while bi-directional causality relationships were detected between RISE and, XUSIN and XUMAL indices, a one-way causality relationship was found between RISE and XUHIZ, which is from XUHIZ to RISE. As a result of the analysis, no causal relationship was found between RISE and XUTEK. Findings supporting the results of causality tests were obtained as a result of impulse-response analysis and variance decomposition analysis. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the changes in the stock values of the companies operating in the industrial, service and financial sectors shape the investor risk appetite, and the changes in the risk appetite cause changes in the stock values of the companies operating in the industrial and financial sectors. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between the stock values of companies operating in the technology sector and investor risk appetite.

- Summary/Abstract:In this era, on the cusp of a new digital age characterized by rapidly accelerating technological advancements and novel challenges to traditional financial paradigms, cryptocurrencies and their inherent innovations hold substantial potential to markedly influence both the global economy and, notably, the financial landscape in Turkey. In this context, this comprehensive investigative study aims to thoroughly scrutinize the universe of cryptocurrencies, initiated with Bitcoin in 2008 and continually expanding with the development of numerous different cryptocurrency units ever since. It specifically aims to discuss the array of advantages, such as accelerating financial transactions, reducing transaction costs, enhancing traceability of financial operations, and diminishing restrictions in international payments, as well as the challenges, including volatility, illicit use, privacy, and regulatory uncertainties. The varied responses of governments and financial regulators to the increasing popularity of these new financial units, and their effects worldwide and specifically in Turkey, constitute a crucial part of this study's extensive examination. For a better understanding of the potential impacts of cryptocurrencies and the underlying blockchain technology, and how they may play a role in future financial systems, it is imperative for users to fully comprehend the benefits and risks offered by these novel technologies, as well as to closely observe technological progressions and societal adaptation processes to these innovative financial tools. In conclusion, this study seeks to provide a roadmap for identifying and analyzing the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies and their underlying technologies in how finance is operated and understood. While technological advancements and the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies present new opportunities and challenges for both the financial world and societies more broadly, understanding and properly guiding this domain is of paramount importance for the prosperity of future generations.
