The Treasury will repay 7.8 billion Turkish liras ($1.36 billion) in external debts, of which 6 billion Turkish liras ($1.04 billion) will be interest payments.
Over the next three months, 60.3 billion liras ($10.5 billion) of domestic debt redemption is also projected — around 32% of this amount will be interest — while the rest will be principal payments.
