Why Turkey Is 3 Weeks From Economic Collapse
Turkey is burning through $2.5 billion a day just to keep its currency alive. As Turkey news headlines focus on the military dimensions of the US-Iran conflict, a far more dangerous crisis is unfolding inside Turkey's economy. With oil prices spiking from the US-Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz under threat, Turkey's energy-dependent economy is trapped. In this video, we break down how Turkey's $200 billion in reserves is far less than it appears, why the Central Bank has already exhausted its 2018 crisis playbook, and how a potential sovereign default could trigger contagion across European banks and emerging markets worldwide.
We also look at the geopolitical side: the NATO dilemma over Incirlik Air Base, the risk of a refugee wave larger than 2015, and what Turkey's collapse would mean for energy prices, European politics, and American investors.
Turkey is the first domino of the US-Iran war. This is how it falls.
