About the Turkish Lira (TRY)
The Turkish lira has lost value against the dollar in most years since 2013, with inflation running far above developed-market levels — which is why Turks commonly hold savings in gold, dollars, and euros.
That inflation history makes the live rate genuinely important: TRY quotes go stale faster than almost any other major currency, and long-term price comparisons in lira are misleading without conversion.
Issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye. The lira floats and has a long history of high inflation and sharp depreciation episodes.
Who converts dollars to lira, and what it costs
Turkey's lira is the textbook case of a currency in long decline: about 1.5 to the dollar in 2010, 7 in 2020, past 30 by 2024. That history makes the USD to TRY rate a daily concern for anyone with lira income and dollar costs, for the millions of Turks working abroad who send money home, and for the tourists and property buyers for whom Turkey has become inexpensive in dollar terms.
Sending money to Turkey is cheap through the specialist services and through the Turkish banks' own apps; receiving dollars is straightforward because Turkish banks offer foreign-currency accounts freely, and many households keep their savings in dollars, euros or gold rather than lira. Freelancers paid from abroad can receive into a dollar account and convert when they choose, rather than at the payer's rate.
What moves the lira
Inflation and interest-rate policy. When Turkish interest rates were held far below inflation in 2021–2023 the lira fell fastest; the return to orthodox rate rises from mid-2023 slowed the decline. The rate on this page can therefore move several percent in a month; anyone pricing in lira for foreign buyers should re-price often.
