CBRT Decision Due Today

TURKEY

A quick reminder that we have the latest CBRT monetary policy decision today. The BBG median looks for a 175bp hike in the 7-day repo rate, which would leave the benchmark rate at 12.00%. A reminder that the average cost of TRY funding (white line in the chart) is already some ~225bp above the 7-day repo-rate (yellow line in the chart) given the measures employed by the CBRT to (unsuccessfully) guard against TRY weakness in recent months, as it looks to fight against the feedback loop that is driving inflation higher. The CBRT's independence is of course under continued scruity, given President Erdogan's previous meddling.
