In a statement released by the CBRT, it was mentioned that the Monetary Policy Committee decided to lower the policy rate, one-week repo auction interest rate, from 45 percent to 42.5 percent. It was emphasized that after the increase in inflation trend in January, it decreased in February. It was stated “During this period, while the core goods inflation remains relatively low, the service inflation slowed down after the increase specific to January. Domestic demand, although higher than expected in the fourth quarter, has supported the decrease in inflation at supportive levels. Leading indicators imply that this supportive outlook continues in the first quarter of the year. The effects of the monetary policy stance on credit and deposit markets and domestic demand are closely monitored. Inflation expectations and pricing behaviors show improvement, but continue to be a risk factor for the disinflation process.”
