(without reading the article)

the central bank of Turkey raised their interest rates by 6.25%, from 17.75% to 24%.

raising rates is usually an attempt to limit monetary supply so it is likely a measure meant to fight inflation.

Normally, hiking interest is a measure used to counter inflation. The Lira (turkish dolleridoo) is doing very poorly right now (lol Erdogan) but not this badly. This is, like, Weimar Republic territory of economic mismanagement.

I guess it's a show of force by the Central Bank to show that Erdogan doesn't control the economy, because a few hours ago he demanded that the bank lower their interest rates. It's incredibly stupid, though.

also i heard a month or two back turkey was selling all their US treasuries. Normally owning US debt is good for stabilizing a local currency, so strange move.

That's because the US put sanctions on Turkey, so they did that as a retaliatory measure.

Really, though, it's just Erdogan completely ruining the country.

If anything, it would be the business of the Turkish, not the Turks
