The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye has maintained its one-week repo rate at 37.0% and kept the interest rate corridor steady between 35.5% and 40.0%, with the repo window remaining closed. According to FX Street, this results in effective funding costs hovering near 40%.
Commerzbank’s analyst Tatha Ghose highlighted that the effective funding rate near 40% is seen as a positive factor for the Turkish Lira, providing support amid ongoing currency volatility. The decision reflects the central bank’s continued commitment to tight monetary policy to stabilize the currency.
For Japanese investors, monitoring Turkey’s high-yield policy environment is important as it influences emerging market risk sentiment and currency flows, factors that can impact FX and equity markets globally.
