Yapi Kredi's 2026 issue fell 2.6 cents to a record low of 77.4 cents,according to Tradeweb. Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs identified Yapi Kredi as having the weakest capital levels of all the main Turkish banks .
Halkbank's 2020 eurobond slipped 2.2 cents to another record low of 74.4 cents, and Isbank's 2024 bond fell 2.5 cents to 77.53 cents in the dollar, also a record low.
