The price of the TRY/USD declined during the end of last week's trading, as the dollar pair against the lira recorded record high levels, after the Turkish Central Bank's decision to install the interest rate last Thursday at 8.5%. It seems that the hand of the Turkish Central Bank which controlled the exchange rate of the lira has become weaker than continuing to support the lira, which has recorded successive losses since the earthquake that struck the southwest of the country at the beginning of last month. The central bank had cut the interest rate over several meetings since the end of 2022, bringing interest rates down from 14.5% to 8.5%. Directly or through indirect measures, it seems that the decline in foreign exchange reserves, which was severely affected during the past month, has increased the size of the Central Bank's ability to maintain the price of the lira, which has been varying against the dollar for several months. The lira's declines, which are expected to cause a rise in commodity prices and consequently inflation, come at a time when the ruling party is preparing to run in the most difficult elections it has faced over the past twenty years.
