The Treasury and Finance Ministry on Friday revealed new details about the recently-announced deposit protection scheme meant to stem the currency crisis by putting an end to dollarization in Turkey.

According to the ministry statement, people residing in Turkey can benefit from the foreign exchange-protected Turkish lira deposit scheme and, contrary to recent rumors, it will be possible to benefit from the mechanism more than once. There will be no upper or lower limit.

Speaking to a broadcaster, Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati said late Thursday that Turkey’s economic model will deliver positive results and a rapid transformation before next summer.

Nebati said the new FX-protected Turkish lira deposits stood around TL 10 billion ($880 million) as of Thursday morning, and that amount continued to increase.

The scheme was announced by the ministry on Tuesday.

Commenting further on the country’s economic model, Nebati told the NTV channel that “the model is based on a high level of exports, lowering the current account deficit and welfare reflected for society as a whole.”

The accounts in the FX-protected lira deposits will have four options for timeframes: three, six, nine and 12 months.

The minimum interest rate that banks will apply to FX-protected lira accounts will not be below the one-week repo rate determined by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT), the Treasury Ministry statement said. It added that the maximum interest rate to be applied by banks can be set at most 300 basis points above the minimum interest rate.

The maximum interest rate can be updated by the ministry and will be valid for accounts opened after the update.

This application will be made within the framework of participation banking principles for the lenders who operate under the Islamic finance system, commonly known as participation banks in Turkey, and for lenders whose main principles include operating on an interest-free mechanism.

The CBRT is now releasing the parity rates against foreign currencies every morning at 11 a.m. local time.

Under the new system, comparing the foreign exchange rates at the beginning and at end of the maturity of resident real persons' accounts, the central bank will pay the difference, whichever is higher, to depositors on the same day.

Under the new system, regardless of the exchange rates, depositors will receive the principal and the interest/profit share.

In the days following the announcement of the new scheme, Turkey’s lira has whipsawed back from a historic low of 18 to the dollar, starting to compensate its losses that reached 60% in the year.

The lira on Thursday was on track for its best week in two decades, rallying as much as 10% to 10.25 against the dollar, its strongest level in a month.
