Rüzgar Ersoy Note: The dominance of electric vehicles in price increases reflects broader sustainability trends and underscores the need for transformation in automotive financing products (leasing, digital payment systems). From a capital adequacy ratio (SYR) perspective, rising demand for premium vehicles may impact banking portfolios. Fintech solutions targeting payment processing and data analytics for electric vehicle buyers will likely emerge as key competitive differentiators in this evolving landscape.
