Turkey's SPK issues trading ban and IPO approvals; Nigeria's SEC consults on cross-border custody

Week of

Turkey's Capital Markets Board issued a trading ban and a batch of approvals, while Nigeria's SEC opened a consultation on cross-border trading and custody. The Turkish items come from two SPK bulletins. Bulletin 2026/42 imposes a six-month trading ban on two individuals in the shares of Hidropar Hareket Kontrol Teknolojileri Merkezi Sanayi ve Ticaret AÅž, citing reasonable suspicion of market manipulation or fraud under the Capital Markets Law, and notes that special situation disclosures of non-listed companies are available on the SPK website. Bulletin 2026/43 is a weekly decisions summary rather than a rulemaking instrument, covering approvals of initial public offering prospectuses and issuance certificates, debt instrument issuance ceilings, a change in the shareholding structure of a portfolio management company, and other application results including mergers, fund conversions and capital increases. The Nigerian item is the week's only consultation paper and its only record originally in English: the SEC's proposed rules on cross-border securities trading and custody, open for comment through the Secretariat of the Rules Committee or the Director-General within two weeks of exposure. The week's weight sits with Turkey's three records against Nigeria's one, and the records differ in kind, with enforcement and approvals from Turkey and a forward-looking consultation from Nigeria.
