The International Monetary Fund called for continued tight, data-driven monetary policy in Turkey until inflation converges to target as it concluded an Article IV consultation.
Higher interest rates since June last year have reduced economic imbalances and revived confidence, the IMF said on Saturday, adding that improved market sentiment had prompted foreign and domestic investors to shift into lira-denominated assets.
The central bank has hiked its main policy rate to 50% from 8.5% to battle high inflation. The government raised taxes and some fees to boost income, while implementing fiscal measures to balance risks in the economy.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States had been informed by most of its NATO allies that they did not want to get involved with the country's military operation in Iran, a move he described as a "very foolish mistake."
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is devastated. Absolutely beside himself. On Tuesday, he took to the podium in Ankara to condemn Israel's "illegal political assassinations" of Iranian "statesmen and politicians."
French President Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday that France would "never take part" in operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, directly contradicting US President Donald Trump, who had given Macron an "8 out of 10" for his supposed willingness to help.
