Turkey’s inflation rate has unexpectedly decreased for the first time in eight months, dropping to 71.6% in June from 75.5% in May. This decline, which surpassed economists’ predictions, marks the beginning of a disinflation process following aggressive monetary tightening measures. The government bonds rallied in response, while the Turkish lira remained stable. Officials are optimistic about rapid disinflation in the coming months, with some experts predicting inflation could fall to around 50% by August. This turnaround is crucial for investors who have been increasing their holdings in Turkish assets, and it may influence future monetary policy decisions.
