Turkey Cuts Interest Rate to 9%

The transcript discusses the Turkish central bank's recent actions to simplify its monetary policy framework by cutting one of its three main interest rates. This move, which marks the fourth rate cut since March, aims to transition from a complex, unconventional policy setup to a simpler, single policy rate framework. The changes have led to a decrease in the average cost of cash for commercial banks and subsequently lowered loan rates for consumers. The central bank's strategy is influenced by global economic trends, particularly the US Federal Reserve's policy normalization.
