Turkish Lira is dropping again

  1. When will Erdogan realize his macroeconomics views are retarded and actually let competent people do their job in peace.

  2. That didn’t take long. I guess people didn’t believe Erdoğan and Nebati, and did not sell their personal foreign currencies for liras. Rather than that, last week’s lira heights were probably caused by institutional selling of foreign currency reserves amounting to 6-8 billion USD. And now, for the final act, Erdoğan’s government has to stand behind their promises and somehow finance their non-rate hike but rate hike-like isomorph with money neither they nor the Turks have. Good job.

  3. I heard that the “recovery” of the lira after the introduction of the personal savings protection was secretly aided by the Turkish gov buying lira with the last of their foreign reserves.

    They should be out of firepower now. Shit’s fucked.

  4. Ok, so wat currency will lira be tied? EUR or Dollaroos? Cause they can’t do this for very long but have to de facto change their currency to something more stable. Hyperinflation is coming next.. Although, my bet is that Erdogan will not do it and there will be civil unrest when a loaf of bread costs 34 billion..

  5. Question for the Turkish users.

    Do you actually hold any real money in Liras these days? As far as I know, foreign exchange and services like revolut and cryptocurrency exchanges are available in Turkey unlike in some other countries with shit economies. Isn’t it relatively easy to instantly convert any money you have into dollars/euro?

  6. This is going to hit with twice the force now that he has said that the Turkish government will back any private losses that anyone has due to their savings lossing value.
