Hi daffodils

I think this follows on from a 2% cut in interest rates in Turkey. And I think there may be more cuts to come.

I think most have dropped by 1% which is not a disaster at the moment. It had too come eventually we have all had a good run. Just need too stay in for a couple of nights too compensate.

very reasonable, if the central bank is giving these rates, how can other banks give higher rates???
