KARAHAN: 'OUR MEASURES ARE MARKET-FRIENDLY'
Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB) Governor Fatih Karahan said during an emergency meeting with banks in Turkey over the weekend that the measures taken are market-friendly. Karahan provided assurance that the TCMB would take every necessary measure to prevent major losses in the markets.
HSBC analysts stated that the most significant risk regarding Turkish bonds is the pressure from foreign exchange outflows. The report mentioned that the Central Bank views controlling foreign exchange demand and maintaining currency stability as a priority.
The bank included in its report Şimşek's recent statement that 60 percent of the demand for dollars originated from foreign investors, while 10 percent came from local retail investors. Analysts assessed that if this trend continues and local dollarization remains limited, the bond market could stabilize.
