Every country needs an inflation target in order to ensure the stability of prices, Erdem Başçı, the head of Turkey’s Central Bank, said this morning during a press meeting in Ankara.

Turkey’s inflation target for 2013 is estimated to be 5.3 percent, he said.

Meanwhile, the bank head said the country would be following a formula of “3x5,” whereby financial authorities will target an inflation rate of 5 percent, a growth rate of 5 percent and a current account deficit-to-GDP ratio of 5 percent.
