| #1 Earlier German reporting: "According to an estimate by US Goldman Sachs, Turkey has spent $65 billion (€55.2 billion) this year on managing its currency. As a result, its gross currency buffers have dropped by more than a third this year to $49.2 billion as of July 17. Including gold, they stand at $89.5 billion. Making matters worse is the central bank wasn't using only its own reserves, but dollars borrowed from domestic banks, to buy the lira. It now owes more foreign currency to the banks than it has in its coffers." |
