They sent the previous tweet on August 24th. The guys suddenly remembered social media. They make advertisements and gaslight the nation.Good, but in my opinion, the graphic and growth looks like it continuing its trend and not accelerating due to current events.
I think everything is already baked in w.r.t US-Turkiye (w.r.t Israel - Palestine, Hamas et al.). US and West are more looking at internal sources of finance for Hamas.

In September 2021, the interest rate was 19% and the US dollar exchange rate was 8.82TL. From that date on they started their "unorthodox"(downright stupid) economical policies and reduced the interest rates time after time after time while the inflation was on a never ending spike. Today the interest rate is 40% and $1US = 28.8TL. The inflation rate of 2022 was more than 100%.
I follow the $US/Turkish lira exchange rate from time to time. I notice that earlier today the lira strengthened 0.33% against the dollar. Just now it has strengthened 0.03%. The interest rate hike does not seem to have brought back confidence in the lira.

During the covid period we have to lower some interest to support the economy likes the Japanese done.You doubt the decisions of some people that are lead by a person who is an alumni of Marmara University's Faculty of Economics?
While the spot rate of the lira has continued to weaken against the dollar since the interest rate rise to 40%, I have noticed that the 2 year forward rate (was 54+ to the $ a few weeks ago) is now 50+ to the $. Would another interest rate hike be necessary or is it being raised to reduce the inflation rate?The new economy admin is doing well. I expect the rate increase to stop at %45.
