The Central Bank of Turkey left its key one-week repo rate unchanged at 14% in its July 2022 meeting, as expected, and signaled that it will continue to implement measures to promote the liraization of the Turkish economy. It marks the seventh consecutive decision to hold rates constant after 500bps of interest rate slashes since August 2021. The central bank stated that the increase in observed inflation is due to rising energy costs due to geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine, strong negative supply shocks of food, and emphasized that the higher prices are not a result of economic fundamentals. Annual inflation in Turkey rose to 79% in June, the highest since 1998. The Board foresees that the disinflationary process will begin with the re-establishment of the global peace environment and the elimination of base effects in inflation. At the same time, policymakers revised growth projections downward and stated that the likelihood of a recession has increased. source: Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey
