The Turkish central bank has successfully contained a fund crisis by providing liquidity support and encouraging a shift of outflows into bank deposits, which swelled by 800 billion Lira. Officials stated no contagion risk was detected, though they warned of further intervention if needed. This stabilization prevents a broader emerging market financial crisis, but the tight policy stance required to defend the currency remains a drag on domestic economic growth.
