TRFitch Ratings highlighted Türkiye's economic resilience amidst geopolitical tensions, emphasizing that sustained improvements in international reserves are crucial for potential sovereign credit rating upgrades. Senior director Erich Arispe Morales noted that while supply shocks from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran initially increased inflation, June showed a downward trend. Although international reserves have partially recovered from wartime declines, they remain below pre-war levels. Morales acknowledged inflationary pressures easing slightly but warned of ongoing geopolitical uncertainty affecting both Türkiye and other emerging markets. He praised Türkiye's policy framework for maintaining inflation expectations and noted stable domestic confidence in the Turkish lira. The Central Bank of Türkiye revised its 2026 inflation forecast upward, reflecting persistent inflationary impacts from the conflict.
