The Ministry of Treasury and Finance issued a statement regarding allegations that Minister Mehmet Şimşek said, "I expect an interest rate cut this month" at the AKP's Kızılcahamam Camp.

The Ministry stated that these statements were conveyed in a misleading manner to the public and did not reflect the truth.

In the statement, it was emphasized that Minister Şimşek's statement expressing the market expectation of an interest rate cut was presented as his own opinion, but that he did not make any assessment of the interest rate policy.

The statement made by the Ministry on the subject is as follows:

At the AK Party Kızılcahamam Consultation and Assessment Meeting, Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek's statement expressing his expectation of a market interest rate cut was presented as his personal expectation. Our Minister has not commented on the interest rate. In this context, it is important not to rely on any behind-the-scenes or behind-the-scenes news that has not been verified by us.
