The TRY/USD declined during today’s early trading, as the pair recorded new highs for the second day in a row, to drop the lira to its lowest levels ever against the US dollar. The foreign exchange reserves of the Turkish Central Bank were severely affected after the devastating earthquake that struck the southwest of the country at the beginning of last month, despite the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the monetary reserves of the Central Bank by about $5 billion, but the lira maintained its slow decline.

 The Central Bank is trying to maintain support for the lira by injecting foreign currencies into the markets, as well as adopting some measures that would reduce the demand for the dollar. In terms of data, the Statistics Office issued data on retail sales in the country, which recorded an increase on an annual basis, to record 33.9% in February, compared to 21.8%, which was recorded in the same month of the previous year. On a monthly basis, retail sales increased, to record 5.4% in February. Compared to 4.8% in January. Experts expect the lira to continue to decline slowly until the ruling party succeeds in passing the fateful elections expected during the month of May.
