Türkiye: Central Bank of Türkiye (TCMB)
Previous Decision: Cut by 100 bps (January 22, 2026)
Key Rate: 37.00% (One-Week Repo Auction Rate)
Summary: In its first meeting of 2026, the TCMB continued its gradual easing cycle, trimming the policy rate from 38.00% to 37.00%. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) noted that while January saw an expected bump in headline inflation—driven largely by seasonal food prices and year-end price adjustments—the underlying disinflation trend remains intact. The central bank emphasized that despite the cut, real interest rates remain firmly positive. The TCMB intends to keep monetary conditions sufficiently tight to ensure inflation continues to cool toward its medium-term targets, carefully balancing economic growth with price stability.
