Turkish lira Analysis

The dollar price against the Turkish lira stabilized without significant changes. The pair has varied in a limited trading range over the past four weeks, and the lira is heading to record a monthly close with limited declines recorded at the beginning of this month. Reports indicate that the Turkish Central Bank is supporting the stability of the Turkish currency at current levels while ensuring that the lira does not decline so that inflation does not rise, using the large foreign exchange reserves that have increased significantly during the current month.

The Turkish Central Bank revealed that the bank's reserves recorded a record high level as of September 20, according to statements by Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek. The bank's reserves amounted to $156.4 billion, up by about $2.8 billion from the last update. Foreign exchange reserves rose to $94.1 billion, while gold reserves reached $62.3 billion. The Turkish minister attributed this increase to the stability of the economic situation in his country.

In terms of data, the Turkish Statistical Institute announced the economic confidence index data for September. The index, which was at 93.1 points last month, rose by 2% to 95 in September. In the same period, the consumer confidence index rose by 2.4% to 78.2 points, and the real sector confidence index rose by 1.2% to 99.2%.

In other data released at the end of last week, reports revealed that Turkish exports recorded about 22 billion 48 million dollars in August. Meanwhile, imports recorded 27 billion 40 million dollars. Also, the external trade deficit reached 4 billion 992 million dollars. Ultimately, the ratio of exports to imports rose to 81.5%.
