The Central bank of Turkey held its interest rate at 9% in its January 2023 meeting, as previously signaled, marking the end of its interest rate-cutting cycle. The decision followed the 10 percentage points in unorthodox interest rate cuts since September of 2021, triggering a plunge in the lira, soaring consumer prices, and a deeply unbalanced current account. Annual inflation soared to 86% in October before easing back to 64% in December, as the weak currency exacerbated the soaring prices of international energy that Turkey must import. The lira has plunged 55% since the start of the bank’s rate-cutting path last year to hover at record lows. Meanwhile, the bank’s Monetary Policy Committee stated that the disinflation process to the 5% target should begin with further implementation of liraization measures that pursue currency and price stability, in addition to the resolution of geopolitical conflict. source: Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey

Turkey Slashes Rates, Signals End of Cutting Cycle
The Central Bank of Turkey cut its interest rate by 150bps to 9% in its November 2022 meeting and stated that it will end its current rate-cutting cycle, as previously signaled. The decision added to the 10 percentage points in unorthodox rate curs since September of 2021 despite the lira’s plunge, soaring consumer prices, and an unbalanced current account. Inflation crossed 85% in October, the highest since 1998, largely due to surging costs of importing energy with an increasingly weak currency. The lira has plunged 55% since the start of the bank’s rate-cutting path last year to hover at record lows. Meanwhile, the TCMB’s board stated that the disinflation process to the 5% target should begin with further implementation of liraization measures that pursue currency and price stability, in addition to the resolution of geopolitical conflict.
