About this work
Turkey’s currency response to a sudden stop depends on how domestic activity and credit adjust. Robin Brooks, Jonathan Fortun and Ugras Ulku contrast the recession and external adjustment of 2018 with the credit expansion that limited recovery in the lira after the 2019 shock. Writing in March 2021, they expected the new episode to resemble 2018 and retained a fair value estimate of 7.50 lira per dollar.
