The TRY/USD traded stable against the dollar for the second week in a row, indicating the intervention of government banks to maintain the price of the lira, albeit in a less strong way than it was previously. In the meantime, investors followed reports about the Turkish government’s tendency to increase taxes as part of the government’s plans to reduce the budget deficit, which expanded after the huge government spending that preceded the election period that took place during the month of May, as well as from the effects of the devastating earthquake that struck the south of the country during the month of February. Estimates for raising taxes range from levels of 20 percent to 25 percent.

In other news, reports stated that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is ready to attract more investments to increase the country’s foreign currency income from the Arab Gulf countries, as reports indicate that the expected investment volume will reach about $25 billion through privatization. In this regard, the Turkish government is negotiating with some Countries in the Gulf to sell the rights to operate one of the ports located in the city of Izmir. It is noteworthy that the volume of the country’s cash reserves increased at the end of last month after the Turkish Central Bank withdrew from supporting the lira strongly, which raised the volume of the reserves to the limits of 9 billion dollars after it reached negative 5 billion dollars at the beginning of last month.
