Ratings published by the credit rating agencies, which are seen as an indispensable tool in the decision making process for national and international markets and investors, are important for our municipality. In this context, after our meeting with Moody’s, we hosted Fitch as the Financial Directorate. At the meeting, our director PhD. Rezzan Neslihan Vural, stated that Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality has a solid and sustainable financial structure. Also, a mutual discussion was held with Fitch on macroeconomic data and Istanbul’s economic and financial data at the meeting.
