A date has been set for the opening of the Istanbul Financial Center

The President's Finance Office Director Göksel Aşan announced that the entire Istanbul Financial Center (IFC) will be opened within 3-4 months after a few minor adjustments.

Aşan stated that the second stage of the IFC is almost ready, following the opening of the first stage. "There are a few minor adjustments that need to be made, especially regarding the ring road and some small tasks related to the Central Bank building. We estimate that the second stage will also be opened within a few months. I cannot give an exact date, but hopefully we will open it within 3-4 months. By the second stage, we mean that the entire IFC will be opened. There may be some shortcomings in the interior design. The Central Bank building, the areas we have reserved for leasing, and the special project area will all be opened," he said.

Aşan also announced that main elements such as shopping centers and restaurants will be opened within 3-5 months, stating, "Most of these places will be left empty. The incoming companies will do the interior design. It may take some time, but it will take us 3-5 months to say 'Come'."

Aşan emphasized that the IFC will already fulfill its classic function, and in addition, they plan to make greater use of the Center's advantage in two areas: financial technologies (fintech) and participatory finance.
