Analyst estimates range for the TL to end the year between 24 to 30 to the dollar. Shaving off anywhere up to another 30% of its value.
Real interest rates are well in to negative territory and the top brass, i mean cobble heads, are irrationally cutting interest rates when they should be hiking. The cobble heads are gambling with poverty for the citizenry for economic growth.
The hair brained ideas so far from the top cobble head is to steal money from businesses, mandate higher wages and link TL deposits to some half baked compensation scheme against any lira devaluation. Draining the treasuries coffers and fx reserves even further after blowing it in the market by trying to support it.
Basically the top cobble heads have been doing what our chief fart head has been arguing for in his la la land as to not raise interest rates. The difference is, one is an islamo facist and the other a socialist. Two smelly rags cut from the same cloth with different labels that achive the same result. Misery for the people under the guise of doing it for the greater good.
There are only a few ways out of this, which includes, but not limited to massively hiking interest rates and implementing the mother of all austerity programs. Either way pain and poverty are on the menu for a while.
