Falling Lyra: Turkey Central Bank reduced accounting rate to 14%

The Central Bank of Turkey reduced the interest rate at the auctions of the weekly repo (short-term loan of funds secured by securities) from 15% to 14%. This decision, as the regulator said, was adopted today by the Board of the Central Bank.

The remaining rates remained unchanged. The repo rate is considered a “political rate” and one of the key indicators that affects the cost of national currency and inflation.
