Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek has stated that Türkiye plans to speed up the privatization process of the national lottery in November by re-launching the tender process and completing it by January. Türkiye scrapped a tender to privatize the lottery as a whole after some bidders failed to meet the $1.6 billion minimum price. Ankara subsequently opted instead to sell individual licenses for games operated by the lottery.
