The Turkish Central Bank's digital currency offline payment hardware costs exceeding the budget by 50% could strain public finances, already burdened by high inflation and a depreciating lira. This overspending may delay the Digital Turkish Lira project, undermining confidence in its implementation. Increased costs could reduce funds for other critical economic stabilization measures, exacerbating Turkey’s fiscal challenges. The central bank might need to reallocate resources or seek external funding, potentially increasing debt. Public and investor trust in the bank’s ability to manage the CBDC rollout could erode, impacting monetary policy credibility. Additionally, the financial burden may limit the project’s scalability, hindering financial inclusion goals and integration with systems like FAST, further complicating Turkey’s digital payment landscape.
