In the MPC statement, “The Board has decided to keep the policy rate constant. The cumulative effects of the decisions taken are closely monitored, and a comprehensive policy framework review process, which prioritizes the TL in all policy instruments of the CBRT, is carried out in order to reshape price stability on a sustainable basis in this period.
