Separately, the central bank said banks will hold additional long-term lira fixed-income securities for foreign currency deposits/participation funds as a complementary step to increasing the weight of lira fixed-income securities in the collateral pool, which comes into effect on June 24.

“The aim of this regulation is to increase the effectiveness of monetary policy as part of the liraization strategy,” it said.

Also, the reserve ratio for lira-denominated commercial cash advances was raised to 20% from the previous 10%.
