The price of the TRY/USD stabilized during early trading on Wednesday morning. Investors were troubled by a report from the World Gold Council, which revealed that the Turkish Central Bank's gold reserves rose to record levels. According to the statement, gold reserves in the central bank reached an all-time high, with 542 tons officially reported, an increase of 148 tons. At the same time, the report revealed the growth of Turkey's demand for jewelry, as it increased by 32% annually in the last quarter of 2022.
The high demand of families for gold, which represents a safe hedging tool, is due to the high inflation in the country, which devours the value of citizens' savings. The price of the precious metal denominated in the local currency increased by 40% on an annual basis. Last November, inflation reached a record high of 85%, before declining in September, reaching 64%. The performance of the Turkish economy is expected to improve, albeit not significantly, as a result of expectations of an increase in Turkish government spending during the few months ahead of the upcoming elections in Turkey, which may raise inflation levels again, according to the World Bank warns.
