Turkish lira collapses 91% against dollar since 2017

Since 2017, the Turkish Lira has lost approximately 91% of its value against the U.S. Dollar. This dramatic depreciation is attributed to factors such as high inflation, unconventional monetary policies, and political instability in Turkey. For example, the exchange rate has risen from around 3.5 TRY/USD in 2017 to over 37 TRY/USD in 2025.
