Rate Baiting

Economy Issue #55

Welcome back! As we roll into Kurban Bayramı, we’ll be off next week, probably spending most of the holiday stuck in traffic just trying to get out and back home again. Neyse.

İyi bayramlar and may you get enough bayram parası to buy a 3,000 TL lahmacun if you so desireth.

In this week’s edition:

1. Inflation falls more than expected

2. Interest rate debate heats up

3. Sights on Syria reconstruction

4. FDI: Cash flow monitor

5. This week’s stat round-up
