The Turkish central bank last month lowered its benchmark rate by 100 points to 13 per cent. Official statistics released earlier in September showed annual inflation at 80.21 per cent. Last year, the currency kept hitting record lows as the central bank lowered interest rates from 19 per cent. When it finally hit 18.36 against the dollar, Erdogan announced extraordinary measures that he claimed would safeguard the lira. The government encouraged people to swap their dollars for the lira and place them in a deposit account that wo
