ANKARA: The Turkish central bank’s net and gross foreign reserves fell by more than $3 billion last week, five bankers said on Tuesday, reversing course after a steady rise that had been driven by the bank’s decision to stop intervening in the forex market.
The bankers’ calculations, based on central bank indicators, show net reserves declined to $20.5 billion as of Sept. 29, while its gross reserves fell to around $122.2 billion in the same period.

The central bank declined to comment.
It will announce official reserves data for the week to Sept. 29 on Thursday.
