Turkish lira Analysis:
The USD/TRY pair fluctuated at the beginning of European trading this Thursday morning with a tendency to rise. While in general, the pair’s trading during the week stabilized within a limited range below the peak recorded earlier last month at 36.63 Lira.
Early this morning, investors followed the statements of the Turkish Central Bank Governor, Fatih Karahan, who affirmed that the bank would continue its tight monetary policy to reduce inflation in line with the targets set for the end of the year. In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Karahan stressed that the bank is determined to achieve the inflation target of 24% by the end of the year, emphasizing that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure the achievement of this goal.
These statements came amid a slowdown in the annual inflation rate in Turkey to 39.05% in February, compared to 42.12% in January. On the monetary policy front, the Turkish Central Bank decided to cut the main interest rate from 45% to 42.5% during its last meeting last Thursday. Karahan indicated that the Central Bank will take the necessary measures to ensure that demand conditions do not affect the inflation reduction path, indicating the continuation of the firm approach in facing inflationary pressures and ensuring economic stability.
In the medium term, the Lira’s price is expected to continue to decline against the dollar considering global institutions’ expectations that the Turkish currency will record further declines to levels close to 40 Lira per dollar by the end of 2025.
