Three companies have filed with the Istanbul exchange recently, targeting initial public offerings this year, including Verusa Holding AS’s construction unit Aldem Celik and Odas Elektrik AS’s coal miner Can Komur. And at least another seven companies said they are considering going public in Turkey in 2021. If all of the listings materialize, it would be Borsa Istanbul’s busiest year for IPOs since 2014, according to data from Turkey’s Capital Markets Board.
