ANKARA, March 29 (Reuters) - Turkish Central Bank
Governor Sahap Kavcioglu said on Wednesday the current policy
framework "has the power" to ensure a fall in inflation and that
targeted loan policies would continue in order to support
exports and investment.
Last week the central bank held its policy rate at 8.5%,
saying it had become even more important to keep financial
conditions supportive to preserve growth momentum after last
month's devastating earthquakes.
In a speech in Ankara, Kavcioglu also said it was necessary
for Turkey to develop its export capacity in order to increase
its capacity to achieve a lasting current account surplus.
