Isbank Won’t Target 50% Lira Deposit Ratio

TURKEY
  • Isbank won’t target lira deposits of at least 50% of total deposits, Nasil Bir Ekonomi reports, citing CEO Hakan Aran. “We won’t have such a target, because I don’t think it’s beneficial for the country,” Aran says, adding that lenders should be respectful of depositors’ choices. Note on Friday new regulation from the central bank boosted the FX reserve commission rate it receives from banks to 8% from 3% if a bank’s lira deposit ratio is below 50%. The new regulation aims to increase lira deposits in-line with the ‘liraization’ strategy.
