Turkey’s central bank sells foreign reserves to stem lira crash (Onur Ant and Selcan Hacaoglu, Bloomberg, Al Jazeera)

Turkey’s central bank fought to shore up the plunging lira, directly intervening in foreign-exchange markets for the first time in seven years.

The central bank sold foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar, to combat “unhealthy price formations” in the market, according to a statement, which didn’t provide specific figures. People familiar with the matter put the sales at around $1 billion.
