This policy rate level will be maintained until there is a significant decline in the underlying trend of monthly inflation and until inflation expectations converge to the projected forecast range, the bank said. The medium-term inflation target is 5 per cent.
External financing conditions, strengthening in foreign exchange reserves, rebalancing in current account balance and demand for Turkish lira-denominated assets continue to contribute to exchange rate stability and the effectiveness of monetary policy, TCMB said in a release.
The existing level of domestic demand, stickiness in services inflation and geopolitical risks keep inflation pressures alive, the central bank noted.

- US Fed maintains federal funds rate amid continued economic expansion
- Q1 2024 Japan GDP shrank less than earlier thought, Q2 rebound likely

Domestic demand continues to moderate in line with the projected disinflation process as monetary tightening is reflected in financial conditions, recent indicators suggest.
Inflation expectations and pricing behaviour continued to show signs of improvement.
