CBRT reserves fall to $169.1 billion
According to the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's (CBRT) weekly monetary and banking statistics, total reserves declined by $2.478 billion to $169.097 billion in the week ending October 16, 2026.
The figures marked a weekly decrease in the central bank's total reserves.
Changes in reserves are closely monitored as an indicator of Türkiye's external financing conditions, foreign exchange liquidity, and financial stability outlook. With the CBRT resuming its interest rate cutting cycle, investors are focusing on reserve trends, foreign capital flows, and demand for the Turkish lira. Data released in the coming weeks will be important in assessing the sustainability of reserve accumulation.
