Türkiye plans to launch a mining exchange in 2026 to improve financing options and price transparency in the mining sector, according to the Turkish Miners Association. The initiative is part of the country's 12th Development Plan (2024-2028) and aims to establish reference prices for strategic minerals.

The exchange will be based at the Istanbul Financial Center, with an application submitted to the Capital Markets Board. Türkiye's gold production is projected to decline, while mining exports rose 3.4% to $6.2 billion in the previous year.
