Turkey’s gross foreign exchange reserves declined to $71.11 billion, down from a previous level of $74.23 billion, according to the latest data updated on 3 September 2026. The figures point to a continued drawdown in the country’s FX buffers.
The decrease in reserves may signal ongoing pressures on Turkey’s external accounts and could influence investor sentiment, particularly in relation to the stability of the lira and the country’s capacity to meet foreign currency obligations. Market participants will be watching upcoming data releases and policy signals closely for indications of whether this downward trend in reserves will persist or stabilize in the coming months.
