Turquie Taux d'intérêt

The Central Bank of Turkey cut its benchmark policy rate by one percentage point to 37% in its first meeting of 2026, less than the median market expectations of a 1.5 percentage point cut, but still marking the lowest rate since November of 2023. The central bank noted that the underlying inflation trend softened in the end of last year despite the increase in the headline rate due to higher food prices, warranting a slight reduction in tight monetary conditions. Still, policymakers stressed that upside risks to inflation remain, as unpredictable pricing behaviour and elevated inflation expectations continued to pose risks to the disinflation process.
