In a move which took everyone, ourselves included, by complete surprise, the Turkish central bank (TCMB) on Wednesday cut its key policy rate (the borrowing rate) by 50bp to 16.25%, and its less important lending rate by 100bp to 18.75%! We are very surprised by the bank's decision which we regard as a reckless and dangerous move likely to send the Turkish lira plummeting.
