The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) has published its Financial Accounts Report for the second quarter of 2026. Total financial assets of domestic resident sectors stood at 237 trillion Turkish lira, while total financial liabilities reached 255 trillion lira. The gap between them is the country’s net financial position.
That deficit widened to 24.7 percent of GDP, an increase of 1.97 percentage points from the previous period. The economy as a whole remains a net financial debtor. Households and the rest of the world are net creditors to other domestic sectors, while non-financial corporations and general government owe money to others.
Borrowing slows, debt stays broadly stable
Net borrowing by sectors fell to 4.6 percent of GDP in the second quarter, down from 10.2 percent in the previous quarter.
Total debt of resident sectors, measured as loans and debt securities, slipped slightly to 92 percent of GDP. The central bank describes total debt as low compared with other countries.
Where households and companies hold their money
Money and deposits make up about 54 percent of household financial assets. Household financial liabilities consist almost entirely of loans.
Equity and shares account for 46 percent of non-financial corporations’ financial assets. On the liabilities side, they account for 44 percent.
