Key Points

  • The decision is released in a press statement on the meeting day, and a summary explaining the reasoning follows a few days later.
  • MPC decisions directly affect deposit and loan rates, bond yields, the lira and equity valuations.
  • the guidance in the statement matters as much as the decision itself.

How It Works

the committee assesses the inflation outlook, domestic demand, the exchange rate and financial conditions to set the policy rate (the one-week repo auction rate) and the interest rate corridor. Forward guidance in the statement shapes market expectations.

Interpretation

MPC decisions directly affect deposit and loan rates, bond yields, the lira and equity valuations. Survey expectations and market pricing are watched ahead of decision day; a surprise can trigger sharp price moves.

Pitfalls

the guidance in the statement matters as much as the decision itself. Meeting dates can change during the year; check the current calendar with the CBRT. The effect of a rate decision reaches the economy with a lag.

Official Sources

Official regulation and sources the definition is based on.
