Meanwhile, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) took a step to support liquidity in the private sector bond market. According to the letter sent to banks, Turkish lira loans to be extended for the purpose of paying off debt instruments issued domestically in Turkish liras by private sector institutions other than banks, which will mature until the end of the year, were exempted from the credit growth limit. With this regulation, the CBRT aims to support macro-financial stability and liquidity management.
