Turkey is evidently slipping into a crisis, as the lira hit record lows on November 24th.
The currency dawned on exactly 13 lira against the US dollar, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan defended recent sharp rate cuts. Turkish currency crashed by eight percent on November 23rd alone.
Lower rates will help spur economic growth and create jobs, Erdogan said, as people took to the streets to protest the dire situation.
Hundreds of people took to the streets in Turkey, calling on Erdogan’s government to resign.
Videos on social media showed police forces intervening and blocking the path of protesters gathered in Istanbul and the capital Ankara.
Erdogan has applied pressure on the central bank to pivot to an aggressive easing cycle that aims, he says, to boost exports, investment and jobs.
This happens against a backdrop of inflation soaring to near 20% and the currency depreciation accelerating, eating deeply into Turks’ earnings.
Many economists called the rate cuts reckless while opposition politicians appealed for immediate elections.
After a meeting between Erdogan and central bank Governor Şahap Kavcıoğlu, the bank issued a statement saying the selloff was “unrealistic and completely detached” from economic fundamentals.
It doesn’t help the situation that Erdogan has replaced three central bank governors in the past two years, undermining investor confidence.
The current protests and calls for resignation could have potentially been avoided if Ankara hadn’t missed its window to focus people’s attention on a military operation in northeastern Syria.
Forces were deployed, positions were reinforced, attempts to escalate the situation were carried out. It all led to nothing, as both the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies, and primarily Russia carried out the necessary steps to largely deter any large-scale hostilities.
As a result, Turkey’s population is now focused on what is happening internally, and it is expected to blindly follow Erdogan’s plans that seem to make no sense, as a massive share of people’s savings are being eaten through.
It is expected that protests will continue in the following days, and it is likely that clashes with police will increase in severity as well as in frequency. Few were detained in the first two days, but protests were quite small-scale. The lira continues to plunge, and promises to lead to an even the harsher crisis. The signals for the catastrophe were detectable for months, but little was done to avoid the crash.
Turke strronkk 🦃 😂😂😂😂
Wait till the US toilet paper crashes.
They will print more :-) … their currency is backed up by military and sanctions to whoever is questioning it. It had lost most of it’s original value already and is almost worthless right now (around 3% of original value). But in the very end it will collapse like you said. Someone just have to call their bluff, but so far no one did. So … easy peasy for them.
We dont have Your kind of economy at all. If it crash even the Chinese economy will crash.
We anytime are able to decline or upgrade the dollar and orther currencies connected well to each other.
Im so tired of listening to Your kind of babling nonsense whenever You relate to Muhammed economies or Groucho Marx ditto.
You just simply deny to learn about how we are and do.
I wonder what successes Your compare with: Tyrkisk liras, Lebanes pounds, Syrian Liras, Rials or maybee something fancy like Venezualian Bolivars.
All terrestrial tyrants who oppress their own people as well as those of other nations, seek war and destruction on the planet, will come to face with the wrath of The Almighty Creator from now on out.
He will face someone but not his creator :-) … chill it with the religious stuff. People may think you are a nut :-)
