Oops! The extra to pay is 60million TK versus 116million. The article doesn't state over what time period, but the point is that every % on exchange costs double that on interest.

Today RTE says that the lira is loo low and “The rise in exchange rates has no reasonable, logical or regular explanation,” A couple of days ago he was saying it was too high and that Turkey needs a "competitive currency". Difficult to keep up isn't it!

P.S. Wazz wiv the cool dude in the shades look?

Keeping low profile I think Kevin, under orders from "the party" probably. 

Anyway, interest rates up by .75% yesterday and that coupled with the election announcement has certainly helped the lira.  Sitting at 5.68 against the squid and back under 5 to the euro.  Dollar still strong though, looks like it doesn't want to go under 4 to the lira!

What's Spain's recent record like on extraditing people to Turkey on terrorism charges?

I'd have thought Turkey's got enough nutcases of it's own without having to import them.  ;)
