Stephen Jen of currency hedge fund SLJ Macro Partners said: "Many of these emerging-market economies [including Turkey] are cornered: they accept to direct betwixt defending the telephone substitution rate, fighting inflation in addition to supporting growth. Sudden stops inward uppercase inflows tend to forcefulness countries to aspect upwards lose-lose situations."
India, Indonesia, South Africa in addition to Brazil, which were grouped alongside Turkey lately every bit "the Fragile Five" past times Morgan Stanley, are inward the same boat, every bit are Argentine Republic in addition to Russia.
