The Turkish lira has depreciated by approximately 15.2 percent against the greenback since January, with a 2.8 percent loss in its value since the beginning of this month.

In response to the economic pressure, Türkiye's central bank maintained its policy rate at 50 percent on Tuesday, marking the fifth consecutive month of unchanged rates in line with market expectations.

Meanwhile, the country's annual inflation rate cooled to 61.78 percent in July, compared to 71.6 percent in June, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute.
