The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) announced a new set of macroprudential measures on July 1, 2026, introducing revisions to reserve requirement regulations affecting the banking sector. As part of the latest framework, the additional Turkish lira reserve requirement previously imposed on foreign currency deposits and participation funds has been abolished, while reserve requirement ratios for foreign currency liabilities have been increased.

According to the official statement, the changes are intended to simplify the existing macroprudential framework while supporting macro-financial stability and the transmission of monetary policy. The regulation removes the additional Turkish lira reserve requirement, which had been applied at a rate of 2.5 percent since its introduction in 2023 for foreign currency-denominated deposits and participation funds.

The CBRT also adjusted reserve requirement ratios for foreign currency deposits and participation funds. The ratio for demand deposits and accounts with maturities of up to one month has been raised from 30 percent to 32 percent. For deposits and participation funds with longer maturities, the reserve requirement has increased from 26 percent to 28 percent.

The central bank stated that the revised reserve requirement ratios will become effective for reserve maintenance on July 17, 2026.

The regulatory update was published in the CBRT’s official “Press Release on the Macroprudential Framework” dated July 1, 2026, under release number 2026-26.
