The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) cut reserve requirements on February 16, but governor Murat Çetinkaya stressed such moves should not be interpreted as a relaxation of monetary policy.

In a short statement, the central bank said it had cut the reserve requirement ratio by 100 basis points for deposits and “participation funds” with maturities up to a year, and for other liabilities with maturities up to three years. All other requirements were reduced by 50bp.
