After the Central Bank's 300 basis point interest rate cut, banks' 32-day deposit interest rates began to decline. Rates, which reached up to 47% last week, have decreased to around 45.50% this week. The highest net return on 1 million TL was 32,909 TL.



After the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) reduced the policy interest rate by 300 basis points in July, lowering it from 50% to 47%, the downward movement in deposit interest rates at banks accelerated. The 32-day deposit interest rates, which rose to around 47% last week, have decreased to around 45.50% as of this week.



The fact that inflation remains below expectations is another factor supporting the decline in interest rates, and experts suggest that this trend may continue for a while.



As of August 5, the highest 32-day deposit interest rates of banks are:





  • QNB Finansbank, Denizbank: %45.50


  • Akbank: %45.00


  • Garanti BBVA: %44.50


  • Alternatif Bank: %44.00


  • Fibabanka, ING: %43.00


  • Odea Bank: %42.50


  • Ziraat Bankası, TEB: %41.00


  • Yapı Kredi: %40.00


  • İş Bankası: %37.00
