Central Bank of Türkiye reserves rise to $178.366 billion
The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (TCMB) reported a significant increase in total reserves for the week of August 7, 2026, rising by $13.918 billion to reach $178.366 billion. This growth was driven by a $7.211 billion increase in gross foreign exchange reserves, bringing them to $71.022 billion, and a $6.708 billion rise in gold reserves, which reached $107.345 billion.
Additionally, the TCMB announced major revisions to the Financial Account that have clarified previous discrepancies in the Net Errors and Omissions (NEO) figures. Following three specific revisions, the cumulative negative NEO for the period from January 2014 to May 2026 was reduced from minus $34.3 billion to minus $14.5 billion. Specifically, for the 2023-2026 period, the negative NEO accumulation was reduced from $57.8 billion to $23.5 billion. These revisions involved incorporating SWIFT data for overseas deposit movements and including profits and losses from financial derivative transactions, such as swaps and forwards, into the Financial Account.
