Year-end USD/TRY is seen higher at 26.18 compared to 23.09 prior.
  • “If the exchange rates do not move in an inflationary environment, it means that the lira is appreciating. Therefore, it is more meaningful to look at the real exchange rate. I do not think we will see any movement in the real exchange rate”, Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said as per Hurriyet. Yilmaz added that the central bank’s reserves will improve, and that the “FX-protected deposit program may not end at the end of the year, we need to discuss the conditions. A sudden stop is not right.”
