Turkey | The CBRT softens its policy tone

Summary

The Central Bank (CBRT) maintained the monetary policy rate unchanged (one-week repo, 24%) in line with expectations. We expect annual inflation will stay close to 20% until June and near 15.5% at the end of the year. Hence, we think that the CBRT should wait until October when the recovery in inflation will become more obvious to initiate easing cycle in monetary policy.
