The Turkish lira continued to record new losses against the US dollar, as the lira responded to the statements of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The statements were about the interest rate during a speech after a meeting with the Turkish government, in which he insisted on reducing interest rates. “This government will not raise interest rates, but will continue to lower them,” he said. The Turkish currency occupies an advanced position among the worst performing currencies and emerging market currencies. The lira fell by about 20 percent due to inflation that reached record levels and was driven by high energy prices. In this regard, Turkey faces further concern after the European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement, Oliver Varhely, asked the Turkish government to take a more decisive position regarding the situation in Ukraine and EU sanctions against Russia. Turkey is not boycotting Russian energy imports, as European countries decided earlier last week amid threats to further exacerbate inflation.
