土耳其里拉(TRY)在中央银行行长埃尔坎辞职的压力下受到影响-彭博社

Turkey’s commitment to orthodox economic policies that made it an investor favorite will be put to the test after central bank governor Hafize Gaye Erkan resigned on Friday.
While the resignation did not come as a shock — pressure has been building for weeks amid local media reports on allegations that her family was involved in the central bank’s affairs — the lira weakened on the news. It dropped as much as 0.8% versus the dollar before paring losses, and was on track to the weakest level on record.

Erkan had been appointed in June, along with Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek, to lead an investor-friendly overhaul of Turkey’s economic policies. That included raising interest rates aggressively and letting the currency trade more freely in an effort to attract foreign investment. Simsek said the economic program will continue without disruption, and initial investor reaction suggests they largely expect continuity, though not without some volatility.
