Turkiet överväger att använda guldreserver – vill skydda valutan

Turkiet överväger att använda sin guldreserv, värd över 1.200 miljarder kronor, för att stabilisera den pressade liran. Åtgärden kopplas till ökad volatilitet i valutan till följd av kriget i Iran samt ett fortsatt högt inflationstryck på över 30 procent.
