The Governer of the Turkish Central Bank has today left, this has made the currency markets nervous and the £ has gained strength against the Lira.

In the last few hours the intebank rate for the Lira has gone from 2.4688 to 2.5064 to the £. Thats an increase of 0.03660

The official handover to the new governer will be tomorrow.

Interesting comment made on the Turkish Central news

Durmuş Yılmaz has been something of a riddle as governor of Turkey’s Central Bank. He has had a steady hand on the inflation tiller and he staked his independence from the government early on after it mishandled the 2006 succession. But, as he retires this week, he bequeaths an unorthodox monetary policy on his successor that has highlighted the imbalances that threaten Turkey’s economy,” the article said. “With an election looming, the current account deficit widening and banks screaming that monetary policy is biting into their profits, new governor Erdem Başçı has an overflowing in-tray.”



It may be worth watching over the next few days.

Its probably been asked before so sorry if it has , but just to check,
we have always brought a mixture of stirling and a little Lira with us, but after reading some reviews shold we use stirling travellers checks ? and are they as easy to exchange in mini supermarkets?
Also can you exchange them at ''The famous old kitchen'' ?? Thanks Joan (pastie63)

[stevew]

I use Cheques because they are insured and can be exchanged easily, I also take cash, but only enough to bag a bargain . Tandoori Sizzler posted somewhere that he will speak to his bank in case they charge Him commission.
