But several of those on the call told Reuters news agency they were unconvinced, especially after Erdogan — seen by many to determine rates, said a day earlier that policy easing should begin in the next two months.
The president has abruptly fired three bank chiefs in two years, making the country more vulnerable to the financial crisis, they said.
