    Border shopping isn’t different anywhere else

    In Denmark we drive hours to Germany to buy cheap beer and tobacco

    In Greece they travel(ed) to Turkey for cheap leather clothing

    If Turks buy in Greece, doesn’t that make the Euro the weak currency? If the Turkish Lira is devaluating so much, they shouldn’t be able to exchange it into strong Euro to their advantage.

        The central bank said on Nov 7 it expects inflation to close this year above 30 per cent,

        How do they do this? 30% inflation means they are printing money. How do they manage to create the demand for Lira that they can buy Euros for cheap? Usually people would want to buy Euros and the value for Lira would fall.
