“The Turkish government has not imposed a generalized lockdown therefore the supply shock is less severe than for other European economies.”

“The Central Bank has lowered its policy rate by 200 basis points since mid-March and one third of the support program announced by the government (2.3% of GDP) has already been spent in mid-March.”
