The Turkish Cabinet has appointed a new head to the country's Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF), according to a notice published in Turkey’s Official Gazette on Friday.
Muhiddin Gulal has been a member of Turkey’s banking watchdog, the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK), since 2013.
Gulal was born in the Black Sea province of Giresun in 1971, and earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Ankara's Bilkent University, according to the agency.
He started his career in 1997 at Sumerbank as a deputy inspector. Gulal worked in the inspection departments of both Etibank and Anadolubank until 2010 before joining the TMSF.
