Turkey's reserves hit record high

The Turkish central bank announced on Thursday that its foreign currency reserves had reached a new record level of $118bn on July 6.

Of that sum, $47.8bn was from privately held companies, including commercial banks, with the central bank holding the rest.

During June Turkey repaid $755m in foreign debt, bringing total repayments since the beginning of this year to $10.4bn.
