RIA Novosti informs about it.
“Those are mistaken who believe that they can force Turkey to deviate from its path on the issue of interest rates through currency speculation and overpricing,” the agency quoted the president as saying.
According to him, Turkey will not be a state that surrendered its economy to external forces on the terms of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with its programs.
Earlier, Erdogan said that the country's authorities are doing everything possible to counteract the volatility of the lira exchange rate.
On December 16, the Central Bank of Turkey lowered the discount rate from 15% to 14%.
After that, the lira fell to 15.6 per dollar, which became a new anti-record.
