THE CBRT’S LATEST INTEREST RATE DECISION The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) decided to reduce the policy interest rate from 45% to 42.5%. In a statement released by the CBRT, it was stated that the Monetary Policy Committee decided to reduce the policy interest rate, the one-week repo auction interest rate, from 45% to 42.5%. It was noted that after the increase in inflation in January, the core inflation decreased in February, while the service inflation slowed down after the specific increase in January. Domestic demand, although above the predicted level in the fourth quarter, has been supportive of the decrease in inflation. Leading indicators imply that this supportive outlook has continued in the first quarter of the year. The effects of the monetary policy stance on credit and deposit markets and domestic demand are closely monitored. Although inflation expectations and pricing behaviors show signs of improvement, they continue to pose a risk to the disinflation process.
