Let’s see what happens at the next MPC meeting on 22 June. While a large hike may show determination to reestablish credibility there are arguments for a more gradual, measured approach.

A positive step towards re-establishing the credibility of the CBRT

As we navigate through domestic and international challenges, we affirm our commitment to rules based policy making to enhance predictability.

While there are no short cuts or quick fixes, rest assured that our experience, knowledge & dedication will help us overcome potential impediments ahead. Our immediate priority is to strengthen our team and design a credible program. 2/2

Busy day at currency exchange offices as Turks buy dollars to hedge against further falls in lira. Currency is down as much as 7% today alone as Erdogan appears to drop policy of stabilising lira after election wraps.

[Roger Kelly @JRogerKelly]

Today’s 7% lira depreciation against the $ reflects the CBRT letting the lira go in the face of the heavy depletion of reserves over the past weeks. It is a much needed adjustment. A new CBRT governor will face significant challenges.

I’m skeptical given the history but if he did accept the role it would help attract a more credible candidate for CB governor, surely the key economy appointment right now. https://t.co/dsishw0iFI

About 40% of Turks live on a minimum income and are the ones feeling the effects of rising inflation the most, @EBRD economist @JRogerKelly tells @FD_Nieuws.

It is the rich who benefit from the low interest rates, not the poorer, conservative middle class in the countryside.
