In the early days of April, all eyes are on the Central Bank’s interest rate decision. The interest rate decision for April will be announced after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in the coming weeks. So, when will the Central Bank announce the interest rate decision? The countdown has begun for the Central Bank’s interest rate decision in April. Markets eagerly await to see what step the bank will take in line with inflation and economic data. According to the 2025 meeting schedule of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) Monetary Policy Committee, the April meeting will be held on April 17, 2025. Decisions on interest rates and a brief rationale will be published on the CBRT’s official website on the same day at 14:00. Expectations of economists and market analysts vary regarding the interest rate decision to be taken at the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on April 17, 2025. In March, the policy rate was reduced by 250 basis points from 45% to 42.5%. On the other hand, international financial institutions have updated their forecasts for inflation and interest rates in Turkey. For example, Bank of America has raised its year-end inflation forecast to 28.1% and its policy rate expectation to 32.5% following political turmoil in Turkey.
