Turkish central bank keeps rates on hold

ISTANBUL: Turkey's central bank kept all key interest rates on hold on Thursday, opting instead to continue using liquidity management tools to curb inflation and support the lira currency.

The bank kept its main policy rate, the one-week repo rate, at 5.75 percent, its borrowing rate at 5 percent and overnight lending rate at 11.5 percent.

All 11 analysts polled by Reuters had expected it to keep all of its main rates on hold.
