Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) announced its latest monetary policy decision today at 11:00 am GMT. Economists were expecting rates to stay unchanged, with one-week repo rate staying at 45.00%. However, CBRT surprised the markets with a 500 basis points rate hike, pushing one-week repo rate to 50.00%.
