Turkey’s gross foreign exchange reserves have declined modestly, slipping to $61.56 billion as of October 1, 2026, from a previous level of $62.81 billion. The latest data signal a reduction of $1.25 billion in the country’s FX cushion.

While the move represents a relatively small shift in absolute terms, changes in gross FX reserves are closely watched by investors and policymakers as a barometer of external resilience and the central bank’s capacity to manage currency volatility and external financing needs. Market participants will be monitoring whether this decline proves temporary or develops into a broader trend in the coming weeks and months.
