The Competition
Board has initiated an investigation against 26 companies operating in the
fields of banking, insurance, and information technologies on suspicion of
violating competition in the labor market.
During the
preliminary investigation conducted by the Competition Board, allegations were
examined that some undertakings may have engaged in no-poach agreements and
shared sensitive information affecting competition in the labor market. Based
on the findings and assessments, the Board considered the suspicions of
potential competition restriction to be serious and sufficient, and decided to file
a formal investigation.
Under the scope of the
Decision numbered 26-03/75-M and dated January 29, 2026, proceedings were
initiated under Article 41 of Law Nr. 4054 on the Protection of Competition to
determine whether Article 4 of the said Law had been violated.
During the
investigation initiated by the Board, it will be thoroughly examined whether
the relevant companies engaged in practices that restrict competition in the
labor market. If a violation is determined as a result of this process, various
sanctions, including administrative fines, may be imposed.
