Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Central Bank of Turkeys (CBRT) unconventional monetary policy shift in 2021 particularly aggressive interest rate cuts on inflation and macroeconomic stability by applying the Synthetic Control Method (SCM). A synthetic counterfactual is constructed from countries with comparable macroeconomic characteristics to estimate what Turkeys inflation trajectory would have been in the absence of the policy change. The results reveal a sharp post-2021 inflation divergence between Turkey and its synthetic counterpart, suggesting that the surge in inflation was largely policy-induced. Placebo tests validate the statistical significance of the findings, while robustness checks confirm the stability of the results.
