Turkey’s net foreign exchange (FX) reserves have continued to improve, with the indicator rising from 62.98% to 67.14%, according to data updated on 20 August 2026. The latest reading marks a further strengthening of the country’s external buffer, building on the previous increase.
While the underlying base level for the percentage measure was not specified, the move from 62.98% to 67.14% suggests a notable step up in Turkey’s capacity to cover external FX needs. Such an improvement in reserves is closely watched by investors and analysts as a gauge of resilience against currency volatility and external financing pressures.
The upward trajectory in net FX reserves may offer some support to market confidence, particularly in the context of Turkey’s historically fragile external position. Continued gains in this indicator will likely be seen as a positive signal for the country’s macroeconomic stability and credit profile, provided the trend proves durable over the coming months.
