This brings additional pressure on countries such as India or Brazil, because they can no longer finance their current-account deficits with foreign capital. The Turkish Central Bank responded with an emergency meeting on the falling lira, which has lost more than 20 percent since may, 2013. Experts expect a massive interest rate move to keep the prices stable. Argentina has again released the purchases of dollars locked since October, 2011, to stop the outflow. Because the purchases with $2,000 a month are limited, dealers believe that the peso remains under pressure. “The global implications of the recent uncertainty should remain but limited”, believes Julian Jessop of capital economics.
