ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that the main opposition party's stake in Isbank ISCTR.IS, the country's largest listed lender, will be transferred to the Treasury "sooner or later".

Last week, Erdogan said that the Treasury would take over the 28 percent stake of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), sending the bank’s shares plunging 6 percent. On Monday, Isbank shares were up more than 2 percent after posting a more-than-expected profit in the final quarter of 2018.
