Turkey's Central Bank Cuts Key Interest Rate Amid Slowing Inflation

Reported about 7 hours ago

Turkey’s central bank has reduced its key interest rate from 45% to 42.5%, marking the third consecutive cut in response to a decrease in inflation, which has fallen below 40% for the first time in almost two years. Despite this, economists express concerns that the official inflation figures may understate the true rate. Factors contributing to Turkey's high inflation include rising energy prices and effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside President Erdogan’s previous economic policies that favored lower interest rates.
