Turkey’s gross foreign exchange reserves declined to $62.15 billion, down from a previous level of $64.57 billion, according to the latest data updated on 22 October 2026. The decrease underscores continued pressure on the country’s external buffers.
The roughly $2.4 billion drop in reserves may reflect ongoing FX demand, external payments, or central bank interventions in currency markets. While the scale of the decline is limited, the movement keeps attention focused on Turkey’s reserve position as a key gauge of its resilience to external shocks and its capacity to manage currency volatility.
Investors and analysts will be watching upcoming data releases and policy signals closely to assess whether this latest move marks part of a temporary adjustment or a more persistent weakening in Turkey’s reserve cushion.
