Türkiye gathered a crucial financial committee on Monday to evaluate the overall economic situation and market trends, as reported by the Treasury and Finance Ministry. The Financial Stability Committee, led by Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek, convened to thoroughly examine the global and Turkish economic outlook and assess current market developments.

"The committee continues its work with a holistic approach to safeguard financial stability, which is one of the key components of sustainable economic growth," the statement emphasized.

The governor of the Turkish central bank, Fatih Karahan, joined the committee, as depicted in a photo released by the ministry. The authorities have emphasized the objective of price stability and disinflation, unveiling a new economic roadmap earlier this month. Inflation in Türkiye has slowed to 31.51% in August, a slight decrease from 31.75% in July, according to official figures.

On the same day, global financial markets experienced a downturn due to growing concerns about oil supplies after an attack on a key Saudi pipeline and uncertainty in the field of artificial intelligence.
