Turkey’s gross foreign exchange reserves fell to $56.09 billion, down from a previous level of $59.04 billion, according to the latest data updated on 5 November 2026.
The decline underscores continued pressure on Turkey’s external buffers, with the drop of nearly $3 billion potentially reflecting ongoing interventions in currency markets, external debt obligations, or shifts in capital flows. The movement in reserves will be closely watched by investors and analysts as an indicator of Turkey’s capacity to manage external shocks and support its currency.
The updated figures add to concerns over the resilience of Turkey’s balance of payments position, as lower reserve levels can limit policy flexibility and heighten sensitivity to global financial conditions.
