About Turkish Lira

The Lira has undergone several transformations in its history:

  • The first Turkish Lira (TRL) was introduced in 1923.
  • Due to extreme inflation, the New Turkish Lira (YTL) replaced the old Lira in 2005 at a rate of 1,000,000 TRL = 1 YTL.
  • In 2009, the currency was renamed simply as the Turkish Lira (TRY).

Today, the Lira is a freely floating currency, and its value is influenced by inflation, interest rates, and global market trends.
