Turkish Lira Down 7% in Biggest Selloff Since 2021 Crisis
Türkiye’s lira plunged 7% to a record low on Wednesday in its biggest daily selloff since a historic 2021 crash, as the newly-elected government appeared to loosen stabilising measures in its pivot to more orthodox policies. The lira has come under pressure since President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was re-elected on May 28. It stood at 22.98 against the dollar at 0735 GMT. Earlier it touched a record low of 23.16, bringing its losses this year to more than 19%.
