ANKARA, Feb 15 (Reuters) - The Turkish central bank
bought 4.1 billion lira ($217.54 million) worth of government
bonds and sukuk via quotation method on Wednesday, central bank
data from Refinitiv Eikon showed.
The central bank earlier said it will buy up to 8 billion
lira in government bonds and sukuk, a move bankers said aimed at
balancing government bond sales by pension funds who must meet
new regulations on allocation of stocks in the
government-sponsored part of the funds.
