Turkey's Central Bank Cuts Policy Rate by 150bps to 38.0% on Lower Inflation

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 12/11/25 07:29 AM EST

07:29 AM EST, 12/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Turkey's central bank (CBT) Thursday said its Monetary Policy Committee has decided to reduce the policy rate -- the one-week repo auction rate -- by 150bps to 38.0%.

The MPC also lowered the Central Bank overnight lending rate from 42.5% to 41.0% and the overnight borrowing rate from 38.0% to 36.5%, noted CBT.

In November, consumer inflation was lower than expected due to a downward surprise in food prices, wrote the central bank in its policy statement. Following an increase in September, the underlying trend of inflation declined slightly in October and November.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
