ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkey’s central bank will begin applying a commission on foreign currency required reserves, broadcaster Bloomberg HT reported on Thursday.

The bank will charge an annual 0.025% on required reserves for U.S. dollar-denominated deposits and participation funds, the report said, citing three sources.

It will charge an annual 0.0025% on required reserves for non-U.S. dollar-denominated deposits and participation funds that are held in euros and U.S. dollars, it said.

The new regulation will take effect on Jan. 10, the report said.
