The Turkish lira's performance against the dollar has declined at the start of this week, continuing its losses from the end of last week, breaking the psychological resistance level of 33 lira per dollar. 

At the beginning of this week, investors monitored statements by Fatih Karahan, the Governor of the Central Bank of Turkey, emphasizing the need to achieve inflation targets before considering interest rate cuts. Also, Karahan mentioned that interest rate adjustments are necessary to meet the inflation targets for 2025 and beyond. Despite the recent drop in inflation, speculation about interest rate cuts persists, with Goldman Sachs predicting a cut this quarter. 

Karahan maintained a cautious stance on the timing of rate cuts, highlighting the disparity between inflation expectations for households and businesses versus the central bank's forecasts. The bank aims to reduce inflation to 38% by the end of the year, 14% by 2025, and 9% by 2026. Achieving this year's target is crucial for credibility. 

Meanwhile, the central bank expects that the increase in electricity and targeted prices in July will raise monthly inflation by 1.5 percentage points. Moreover, Karahan noted that restrictive policies are necessary to balance demand and the current account. Furthermore, the new economic team seeks to curb inflation through prevailing policies, contrasting with previous high-consumption strategies. Karahan attributed the stability of the Turkish lira to higher interest rates, despite global banks' concerns about competitiveness. Likewise, He emphasized the importance of reducing domestic demand and linking inflation expectations to improve the current account deficit. Also, the central bank aims to boost reserves while managing liquidity challenges and capital flows.
