    Inflation in Turkey surged to a 15-month high in February,
    surpassing expectations and fuelling fears of further rate
    hikes.

    The Turkish Statistical Institute announced on Monday that
    the country’s annual inflation rate rose to 67.07% in
    February, overshooting forecasts.

    How the hell did THIS happen ???

    All cash reserves will wither and die.

    Likely many kinds of investments too.

    Turkey IS a NATO member and critically
    positioned in the world. We don't need
    it going down the drain. Turkey is also
    a fairly LARGE economy. What happens there
    WILL be a drag on many others.
