CHF/TRY: the SNB versus the CBRT

The rate between the Swiss franc (CHF) and the Turkish lira (TRY) pits two very different monetary dynamics against each other. On one side, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) safeguards price stability in Switzerland ; on the other, the central bank of Turkey (CBRT) conducts a policy confronted with high inflation.

The Swiss franc is a recognised safe-haven currency : low inflation, a stable economy and strong credibility of the SNB. Conversely, the Turkish lira has gone through a long phase of depreciation, fuelled by sustained inflation and by the CBRT's adjustments to its key rates. Over time, this asymmetry explains the underlying trend of CHF/TRY, generally oriented upward for the franc against the lira.

Key benchmarks : in 2025, the CBRT kept its key rates very high before starting a gradual easing cycle, while Turkish inflation remained a key variable. For the user sending CHF to Turkey, the volatility of the TRY makes tracking the real interbank rate particularly important when converting.

Frequently asked questions about CHF/TRY exchange

Over the long term, the CHF/TRY trend mainly reflects the depreciation of the Turkish lira. High inflation in Turkey and the monetary policy of the CBRT (central bank of Turkey) weigh on the TRY, while the Swiss franc retains its safe-haven status supported by the SNB (Swiss National Bank). The gap in interest rates and inflation between the two countries is the main driver of the pair.

There is no universally ideal moment. The CHF/TRY rate can be very volatile, because the Turkish lira reacts strongly to CBRT (central bank of Turkey) decisions and inflation releases. Monitor the real interbank rate continuously and trigger your exchange when the level suits your project in Turkey.
