Turkiye’s monetary policy committee (MPC) recently decided to keep the policy rate (one-week repo auction rate) constant at 9 per cent. A strong growth was observed in the first three quarters of 2022. Indicators for 2022’s last quarter show a slowdown in growth due to the weakening foreign demand is compensated by the relatively strong course in domestic demand.

The effects of foreign demand-based pressures observed in the manufacturing industry on domestic demand and supply capacity currently remain limited, the country’s central bank said in a release.
