(Bloomberg) -- The Turkish central bank will allow lenders with real loan growth rates of more than 15% to hold fewer reserves through the end of the year.

The policy maker temporarily suspended a rule that barred these banks from taking advantage of the incentive, it said in a statement on its website on Saturday.

The decision was taken to “provide banks with flexibility in meeting loan demand specific to this period,” it said.
