Turkey inflation cools, liraization underway

There are several factors driving the USD/TRY exchange rate. First, as I wrote ທີ່ນີ້, ຫນຶ່ງໃນທີ່ໃຫຍ່ທີ່ສຸດ ຂ່າວ forex of 2022 was the decisions by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT).

Second, the USD to TRY exchange rate reacted mildly to positive inflation data from Turkey. According to the statistics agency, the headline consumer price index crashed from 84% in November to 64.27% in December. That decline was bigger than the median expectation of 66.53%. The producer price index dropped from over 130% to 97.72% in the same period. Still, inflation remains above that of peer countries.

Third, the other key driver for the Turkish lira is the ongoing liraization strategy by the government and central bank. The two entities are working to ensure that the lira is the currency of use in the country. Some of the top priorities are lifting the amount of lira deposits in the banking sector. It has also unveiled measures to discourage the use of foreign currency. 

The most important catalyst for the USD/TRY exchange rate will be the upcoming Turkish election. Most analysts believe that the CBRT will either maintain low rates or even cut to boost Erdogan’s chances. In most cases, currencies tend to depreciate in an election year. 

The pair will also react to more Turkish currency swap agreements and monetary policy decisions of the Federal Reserve. Analysts believe that the Fed will hike rates by about 75 basis points this year.
