Deja Vu In Turkey: Currency Crisis and Corporate Insanity!

Wolfgang Kniest · August 24, 2018

by Aswath Damodaran.

This has been a year of rolling crises, some originating in developed markets and some in emerging markets, and the market has been remarkably resilient through all of them. It is now Turkey’s turn to be in the limelight, though not in a way it hoped to be, as the Turkish Lira enters what seems like a death spiral, that threatens to spill over into other emerging markets.

There is plenty that can be said about the macro origins of this crisis, with Turkey’s leaders and central bank bearing a lion’s share of the blame, but that is not going to be the focus of this post. Instead, I would like to examine how Turkish business practices, and the willful ignorance of basic financial first principles, are making the effects of this crisis worse, and perhaps even catastrophic.
