ANKARA: Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan reiterated on Tuesday his opposition to a hike in interest rates hours ahead of an emergency meeting of the central bank's monetary policy committee.
"If I make a statement, they will say that I have interfered with the central bank," Erdogan told a press conference before departing to Iran for an official visit.
"But I would like you to know that as always, I am against a hike in interest rates. But of course I don't have the authority to interfere with the central bank," he said.
