The Turkish lira falls to a new low against the dollar and breaks the 14 lira barrier
The Turkish lira fell to new record levels against the US dollar, to break the barrier of 14 lira to the dollar for the first time in its history, after the S&P credit rating agency changed its outlook for the Turkish economy from stable to negative.
The agency, S&P, said in a statement that its change in the outlook came in response to a number of risks that it believes will affect the economy in the future, such as currency fluctuations and significant inflation.
