Comment on
2001 |
On 22 February 2001, the exchange rate arrangements for the Turkish lira were changed; since this date, Turkey has used an independent floating exchange rate system. This measure led to sharp exchange rate fluctuations. The following exchange rates (buying/selling rate) were reported to us by the Turkish central bank at the start of trading: 22 February 2001: USD 1 = TRL 685,391 / 688,696 23 February 2001: USD 1 = TRL 957,879 / 962,499 26 February 2001: USD 1 = TRL 1,072,988 / 1,078,163 27 February 2001: USD 1 = TRL 946,306 / 950,870 |
