Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has appointed Fatma Ozkul, a professor who teaches about crypto assets and blockchain technology, as a member of the central bank’s rate-setting committee.
Ozkul, a professor at Istanbul’s Marmara University, became the new member of the Turkish central bank’s Monetary Policy Committee, according to a presidential decree published Saturday.
Ozkul’s appointment is unlikely to change the current course of monetary policy.
However, her recent focus has been on blockchain, crypto assets and their implications on finance.
She published a book about crypto asset accounting in 2022, according to her profile.
