Merkez

"Merkez" is a Turkish term meaning "center" or "main place." In a financial context, it often refers to the central bank (e.g., Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası), which is responsible for managing a country's money supply, controlling inflation, and maintaining economic stability. The central bank sets interest rates, regulates banks, and oversees the overall financial system. Essentially, "merkez" denotes the central authority or core institution that helps ensure the economy functions smoothly and sustainably.
