The Turkish lira continued its losses against the US dollar over the course of the current week, as the Turkish currency recorded strong declines over the past two months. Amid political and monetary influences that include the Turkish elections and their results. Previously, the expectations of the reports of international financial institutions were that the lira would decline against the dollar, away from the identity of the president who won the elections for several reasons, the most important of which was the inability of the country’s central bank to support the lira continuously, especially with the decline in the volume of cash reserves from the bank’s foreign capital. Optimism about the appointment of Mehmet Chimchik as head of the country’s Finance Ministry has not yielded real results so far, despite Chimchik’s pursuit of a traditional economic policy contrary to the policy of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In this regard, Bloomberg Agency published reports on the request of the new Turkish Finance Minister to the country’s central bank to stop supporting the lira and not to interfere in the markets by pumping foreign currencies. While other agencies quoted Simsek’s remarks, in which he affirmed his commitment to developing rules-based financial policies to increase predictability. He also said that there are no shortcuts that include quick solutions, you can rest assured that our experience, knowledge, and dedication will help us overcome potential obstacles.
