A Turkish think tank, the Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV), has urged the country’s central bank to address concerns about potentially exceeding its 2026 inflation target. TEPAV released a monetary policy note indicating current economic conditions suggest the target will likely not be met. The organization is calling for the central bank to publicly explain the reasons for this anticipated shortfall, citing obligations under the Central Bank Law. This request emphasizes the need for transparency regarding the factors influencing inflation and the planned policy responses. TEPAV’s assessment raises questions about the effectiveness of current monetary policies in controlling rising prices. The think tank’s statement highlights a growing scrutiny of the central bank’s communication and accountability. The report was published in June and signals increasing concern over Turkey’s economic outlook.
