The USD/TRY maintained its slow movements with the opening of the market today, Monday, amid the successive measures of the Turkish Central Bank, which aim to tighten the monetary policy in the country. At the end of last week, the bank issued its decision to raise the cost of short-term deposits on commercial banks in the country, as the central bank aims to reduce lira deposits protected from fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate, known as (KKM), which is a deposit system introduced by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the end of the year. 2021 with the aim of controlling the declines of the lira at that time. The Central Bank of Turkey imposed on commercial banks to increase the amounts allocated as reserves for six-month accounts by 25 percent, compared to only 15 percent previously, while reducing the reserve allocated to accounts with maturities greater than six months to only 5 percent.
The decisions of the Turkish Central Bank come at a time when the markets are anticipating the interest rate decision next Thursday, as most expectations indicate that the central bank will maintain tightening monetary policy and raise interest rates during the next meeting, although the expected rate of increase varies, as most international banks indicate that the interest rate will be raised by 5 percent, bringing the main interest rate in the country to 30 percent, against contrary expectations issued by Barclays Bank to raise interest rates by only 2.5 percent.
