Turkey’s central bank lifted its main rate to 50% as it continues its effort to bring runaway inflation back into line.
The central bank increased its rate to 50% from 45%, a move that sent the dollar USDTRY, 0.16% down to 32.19 lira from 32.38 lira.
“Tight monetary stance will be maintained until a significant and sustained decline in the underlying trend of monthly inflation is observed, and inflation expectations converge to the projected forecast range,” said the central bank.
Inflation was 67% in February, and it’s been above 60% since September.
Turkey holds local elections at the end of the month.
