TURKEY: Local Markets Closed, CBRT Tweaks TRY Deposit Growth Target Rules

TURKEY
  • Local markets in Turkey are closed today as the nation celebrates its Victory Day.
  • Yesterday, the CBRT announced changes to some reserve requirement practices in order to boost lira deposits. The central bank increased monthly growth target to 0.8ppts for banks with real person lira deposit shares between 45% and 50%, and abolished growth targets for banks with shares exceeding 60%. It also increased the upper limit for the remuneration of lira required reserves to 84% of the policy rate. The steps are the latest in a series designed to shift savings to traditional TRY-denominated deposit accounts from FX-protected accounts.
  • Looking ahead to next week, CPI data for August provides the highlight on Tuesday (Est: +51.83% Y/Y; Prior: +61.78%). GDP data for Q2 will cross wires on Monday (Est: -0.7% Q/Q; Prior: +2.4%).
