On the other side, the private sector's long-term debt fell by $2.1 billion to $161.9 billion over the same period.

The TCMB said 42.6% of long-term foreign loans were owed by financial institutions.

On their currency composition, long-term loans totaled $161.9 billion – with 62.5% consisting of U.S. dollars, 33.5% euros, 2.2% Turkish liras and 1.8% other currencies, it added.
