Exchange rates in Northern Cyprus: pound — 56.10 lira, euro — 48.65 lira, dollar — 41.45 lira
According to Kıbrıs Postası, on September 11, 2025, the Turkish lira market rates were: British pound — buy 55.65 / sell 56.10 lira, euro — buy 48.05 / sell 48.65 lira, US dollar — buy 41.13 / sell 41.45 lira (observation time — around 10:51, update — 11:11).
The difference between buying and selling rates is: euro — 0.60 lira, pound — 0.45 lira, dollar — 0.32 lira. This reflects the current spread policy of exchange offices and banks and may vary depending on the institution and transaction amount.
What this means for Northern Cyprus residents: exchange rate changes affect the cost of imports (fuel, food, electronics), payments on export-import contracts, transfers abroad, and lira-based transactions. For large transactions, it is recommended to compare rates at multiple banks and exchange offices and take spreads into account. For regular transfers and purchases, it is useful to monitor rate updates and, if necessary, lock in a rate through banking products or conditional operations.
