Toward the close of August, the Central Bank of Turkey implemented important adjustments to normalize liquidity conditions within the domestic financial system by introducing weekly repo auctions. As a direct result of these strategic liquidity moves, the effective funding cost and TLREF dropped sharply from 40% down to the policy rate level of 37%.

Projections for Policy Rates Moving Forward
Beyond the immediate meeting, market observers continue to evaluate the trajectory of monetary policy over the medium term. Projections indicate that the policy rate could reach 35% as the monetary framework progresses, reflecting expectations of gradual adjustments as economic conditions develop.
