Tiivistelmä: | Despite persistently high inflation and international financial turmoil, the Turkish economy continues to defy gravity. The country's banks lend to the treasury in lira at high interest rates. As a result, they can offer attractive interest rates on foreign currency deposits too. Armed with a fictitious $50,000, Mentin Munir finds out just how good these rates can be and explores the role played by the banks in propping up Turkey's "unsustainable" economy. |
