Turkey | The CBRT raises rates by 75 bps
Summary
The Central Bank (CBRT) hiked its de-facto policy rate (late liquidity window, LLW) by 75 bps to 13.50%, in line with our expectation but slightly higher than the median market call, 50 bps. At two digits inflation, anti-inflationary policies should be at the forefront of economic strategies in a comprehensive way, including further tightening if needed.
