Former TCMB Chief Economist Hakan Kara commented on the Central Bank's decision, stating, "It was the right move to keep it open-ended."

Kara's X post is as follows:

"It was not a good idea to explicitly state in January that interest rate hikes were completed. It was the right move for the Central Bank to change this communication and keep it open-ended."
