Abstract

Sermaye Piyasası Kurulu 30 Aralık 2011 ve 11 Şubat 2012 tarihlerinde yayınladığı Seri IV, No: 56 ve 57 sayılı tebliğlerle 2003 yılında ‘uy yada açıkla’ yaklaşımı ile yayınladığı Kurumsal Yönetim İlkeleri’ni yeniledi ve ilkelerin bir kısmını 654 sayılı kanun hükmündeki kararnamenin kendisine verdiği yetkilere dayanarak halka açık şirketler için uyulması zorunlu kurallar haline getirdi. Bu makale, reform niteliğindeki bu değişikliklerin uluslararası alanda geniş çapta kabul görmüş kuramsal bir çatı ve diğer gelişmekte olan piyasalarda elde edilmiş görgün sonuçlar ışığında değerlendilmesi ve yorumlanması amacıyla yazılmıştır.

The Capital Markets Board of Turkey has recently reformed major aspects of the Corporate Governance Principles for companies listed at the Istanbul Stock Exchange which were, prior to reform, based on a 'compy or explain' mechanism. The changes were notified with two communiqués (Series IV, No: 56 and 57) on December 30th, 2011 and on February 11th, 2012. This paper evaluates the potential impact of these reforms from an investor perspective. We argue that the new regulation is likely to improve the capital market development in Turkey.
