Basically, reserve requirements are maintained in terms of Turkish lira for Turkish lira liabilities and in terms of US dollar and/or euro for foreign exchange liabilities at the accounts of the CBRT. Nevertheless, a certain portion of the Turkish lira reserve requirements can be kept in US dollars and/or euro or as standard gold. Meanwhile, the entire amount of precious metal deposit accounts that should be maintained for reserve requirements for FX liabilities can be kept in the form of standard gold in blocked accounts. Gold deposit accounts have been included in the liabilities subject to reserve requirements as of 14 October 2011. (*) Turkish lira reserve requirement ratios for demand deposits, notice deposits and private current accounts and deposits/participation accounts with maturities of up to 1 month and 3 months (including 1 and 3 months) have been increased from 11.25 percent to 11.5 percent; for deposits/participation accounts with maturities of up to 6 months (including 6 months) from 8.25 percent to 8.5 percent; for deposits/participation accounts with maturities of up to 1 year from 6.25 percent to 6.5 percent; and for other Turkish lira liabilities with maturities of up to 1 year (including 1 year) from 11.25 percent to 11.5 percent. (**) FX reserve requirement ratios for FX and precious metal demand deposits, notice deposits and FX private current accounts, deposits/participation and precious metal deposit accounts with maturities of up to 1, 3 and 6 months (including 1, 3 and 6 months) and 1 year; other FX liabilities with maturities of up to 1 year (including 1 year) and other FX liabilities with maturities of up to 3 years (including 3 years) have been increased by 0.5 points. The changes stated above will be effective as of the calculation period dated 1 March 2013, and the maintenance period will begin on 15 March 2013. Press Releases on Required Reserves
