KTFA:Samson: The Turkish lira plunges to the lowest level in history
23rd September, 2021
The exchange rate of the Turkish lira fell against the dollar, today, Thursday, after the Turkish Central Bank decided to reduce interest rates.
According to Bloomberg website data, by 15:10 Moscow time, the price of the dollar row rose by 1.07% to 8.74 liras per dollar, and before that the Turkish currency recorded 8.8017 liras per dollar, the lowest level ever.
Thus, the Turkish currency hit a record low after the Turkish Central Bank unexpectedly cut its main interest rate, despite the deterioration of inflation expectations. The Turkish Central Bank decided to reduce the interest rate by 100 basis points on repurchases, "repo" for a week, to 18%. Twenty-three economists were surveyed by Bloomberg.
In the words of Bloomberg, the decision is a sign that CBE policymakers are giving in to the demands of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to lower borrowing costs. This step also threatens to undermine investors' confidence in the state's assets while eroding the real return on the lira. LINK
