Türkiye Central Bank Cuts Rates to 36% Amid Inflation Concerns
What happened
The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye resumed its rate-cutting cycle, reducing policy rates by 100 basis points to 36%. This move was cited as confirmation of a deceleration in the underlying trend of inflation. However, official statistics from the Turkish Statistical Institute showed that October monthly inflation was 2.58%, and annual inflation ticked up to 29.77%.

Why it matters
The rate cut signals a shift toward monetary easing by the central bank. While analysts continue to expect annual inflation to remain below 30% this year, the recent monthly price increases driven by food, energy, and clothing have created uncertainty ahead of future policy meetings.
