Turkey’s gross foreign exchange reserves have declined to $62.81 billion, down from a previous level of $68.44 billion, according to the latest data updated on 24 September 2026.
The roughly $5.6 billion drop in reserves underscores ongoing pressure on Turkey’s external buffers, a key metric closely watched by investors and rating agencies for signals on the country’s capacity to manage external shocks and support its currency. While no additional details were provided on the drivers of the decline, the move may prompt renewed market debate over Turkey’s reserve adequacy and the sustainability of its balance-of-payments position.
