Özet
This study aims to investigate the differentiated impact of the Global Health Crisis (GHC) on the financial markets of Turkey and Poland, considering the influence of EUR/TRY and EUR/PLN exchange rate volatility in 2019 and 2022 on stock market indices. Employing correlation coefficients and difference analysis on daily data of the BIST100 and WIG indices, the research compares market reactions pre- and post-pandemic. The analysis reveals distinct responses: relative stability in Poland versus significant changes in Turkey after the pandemic. These divergent reactions are attributed to the dominant types of capital flows in each country – volatile foreign portfolio investment in Turkey and more stable foreign direct investment in Poland. The study adds value by systematically comparing these markets with contrasting capital flow structures and theoretical underpinnings (stock-driven vs. flow-driven models), identifying shifts in market behavior following the GHC, and discussing their implications for understanding emerging market resilience.
