<\/p>\nTurkish authorities denied on Sunday allegations related to recent briefings with investors in London, also rebuffing claims that assessments tied to interest rates were made.<\/p>\n
The Turkish central bank said in a written statement that claims that previously undisclosed information and assessments were shared with investors \u200bduring technical briefings in London were “completely \u200cunfounded.”<\/p>\n
“The Central Bank of the Republic of T\u00fcrkiye (CBRT) conducts its communication policy based on the principles of transparency, consistency, and real-time disclosure. Accordingly, the CBRT regularly hosts comprehensive briefings with both domestic and international market participants,” the bank said.<\/p>\n
Reuters reported on Friday that three people who took part in the briefings were left with the impression that an interest rate \u200bhike was an option as Turkish authorities seek to \u200baddress the economic effects stemming from the Iran war.<\/p>\n
The central \u200bbank said Sunday its briefings “were strictly limited to publicly available monetary policy texts and published macroeconomic data.”<\/p>\n
“The CBRT does not, under any circumstances, \u200bdisclose non-public information or policy assessments to any external \u200bparties, whether domestically or internationally,” the bank said in a statement.<\/p>\n
It added \u200cthat \u2060such briefings address technical questions on the broader macroeconomic outlook, financial markets, and the banking sector, aimed at fostering a clear understanding of monetary policy implementation.<\/p>\n
In a separate statement, \u200bthe Treasury and \u200bFinance Ministry \u2060said that Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet \u015eim\u015fek never comments on interest rate policy at any domestic or foreign meetings as \u200ba matter of principle.<\/p>\n
The private meetings with \u200bdozens of \u2060foreign investors were held last week after a series of policy steps taken by authorities, including a measure to limit fuel price increases since the start of the U.S.-Israel-Iran war in order to keep disinflation on \u200btrack.<\/p>\n
Turkish annual inflation slowed to 30.87% in March from 31.53% in February, official data showed on Friday.<\/p>\n
