The Turkish central bank said Thursday that it now expects
inflation to be at 14.1% at the end of 2021 and 7.8% at the end of
2022.
In April, the bank said it expected inflation at 12.2% at the
end of 2021 and 7.5% at the end of 2022.
Inflation should stabilize around 5% --the medium-term target--
in 2023, the bank said in its July inflation report.
Risks to the inflation target include the coronavirus vaccine
rollout in the country, the recovery of global demand, rising
commodity prices, pent-up consumption and supply constraints, the
bank said.
