Turkish lira Analysis:

The USD/TRY pair continued its limited gains on Thursday morning, breaching the previous peak and reaching its all-time high at 35.29 lira. The rise of the dollar against the lira comes amid the Central Bank's and the Ministry of Finance's decreasing support for the lira, as the lira has been recording continuous declines in recent months.

The lira lost about 17% of its value in 2024, with expectations of further losses after today's expected Central Bank decision. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the bank will cut the interest rate by 200 basis points, bringing the interest rate to 48%. These expectations come as inflation slowed on an annual basis in November for the sixth consecutive month, recording 47.1%, while monthly inflation slowed to 2.24% in November.

Recently, the Central Bank of Turkey has kept the interest rate unchanged at 50% for eight consecutive meetings as part of policymakers' efforts to control high inflation rates.

Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Turkey issued a statement revealing a reduction in the number of Monetary Policy Committee meetings next year to only eight, compared to twelve meetings held in 2024. Clearly, the bank attributed this decision to its plan to simplify monetary policy management. Also, the bank's announcement included a direction to end the protected lira deposit program against foreign exchange fluctuations in 2025. Finally, the Central Bank confirmed in its report that the weekly repurchase rate will remain the main monetary policy tool, noting that it will continue to set policies based on a medium-term inflation target of 5%.
