Turkish lira Analysis:
The USD/TRY pair maintained its stability at the beginning of this week’s trading, after trading within a limited range around 36.50 Lira last week. The Lira’s price was not negatively affected by the interest rate cut approved by the Turkish Central Bank last week, reflecting the strong control by the country’s monetary and financial authorities.
The Turkish Central Bank cut the interest rate by 250 basis points during its meeting last Thursday, for the third consecutive time, after similar reductions in December and January. The interest rate was reduced from 50% in November to 42.5%. The Turkish Central Bank’s monetary policy stimulus continues in conjunction with the slowdown in inflation to levels below 40% last January, for the first time in more than two years, with inflation reaching 39.05%.
The Turkish President praised the Turkish Central Bank’s decision to cut interest rates, stressing that it is a decision in the right direction. The Turkish President is known for his strong opposition to high interest rates, which supported interest rate cuts over previous years before the 2023 elections. At the same time, the President announced a decision to raise the credit limit allocated to traders and craftsmen, emphasizing the vital role this sector plays in supporting the economy. The Turkish President stressed that this category represents one of the most prominent pillars of the Turkish economy, indicating that this step comes within the framework of government efforts to enhance economic stability and provide the necessary support for productive sectors. The Turkish President’s decision comes at a time when concerns are growing about the decline in interest rates and the increase in credit on inflation rates.
In other news, data issued by the World Gold Council revealed that the country’s gold reserves recorded about 615 tons, which represents about 35.7% of the bank’s total reserves, making it the tenth globally in gold reserves.
