Turkey’s net foreign exchange (FX) reserves have weakened, with the key indicator sliding from 52.12% to 47.03%, according to data updated on 1 June 2026. The shift signals a notable deterioration in the country’s FX reserve position over the latest reporting period.
The decline from 52.12% to 47.03% suggests that Turkey’s foreign currency buffer relative to its chosen benchmark has shrunk, potentially limiting the central bank’s room to maneuver in supporting the lira or cushioning against external shocks. Market participants are likely to watch subsequent data releases closely for signs of whether this downward trend stabilizes or deepens, given its implications for financial stability and investor confidence.
