Turkey economic minister says lira weakening is speculative

Comments by Turkey's economic minister Nihat Zeybekci

  • Scale of volatility has a dangerous side
  • But monetary policy should manage it
  • Steps should show we won't tolerate lira weakening
  • Current lira level is 'abnormal'
  • No permanent damage on Turkish economy just yet

Right, and where's the so-called monetary policy again? The lira is basically a currency in a crisis at the moment. USD/TRY jumped to a high of 4.9253 earlier today, with the lira being the worst performing emerging market currency on the day once again.
