Turkey Finance Minister Simsek Denies Resignation Rumors

Simsek's direct denial matters less for what it confirms than for what it reveals: speculation about Turkey's economic policy leadership is active enough that the minister felt compelled to address it publicly. For markets tracking Turkey's policy direction, that uncertainty itself is the signal, since the credibility of the current economic framework has been tied to his presence. Whether the rumor mill quiets down or keeps resurfacing is the open question.
