BDDK releases data: Which bank offers the cheapest personal loan?

The fog surrounding the CBRT's interest rate cut process, which has been a major expectation in the markets for months, has begun to lift.

Following yesterday's announcement that November inflation was 2.23 percent on a monthly basis, the possibility of "a limited cut of up to 250 basis points" at the CBRT Monetary Policy Committee meeting to be held in the last week of this month is being discussed.

A certain decline in consumer loan rates is also expected alongside the interest rate cut.

Looking at the data released by the BDDK, an increase in loan volume has been observed in recent weeks despite high interest rates.

The volume of consumer loans, which was 1.84 trillion lira in the week ending October 18, approached 1.92 trillion lira in the week of November 22.

In this 5-week period, there was an increase of 70.76 billion lira in the volume of consumer loans. A large majority of this amount, 55 billion TL, was in personal loans.

According to the report in Türkiye newspaper, banking sources point out that consumers, anticipating that interest rate cuts will begin in the near future, are bringing forward their "pending needs" to avoid being affected by potential price increases, which is why the loan volume has started to rise.
