Istanbul Skyline Reflects Cheap Dollars Now Growing Scarce

The risk of dollar denominated loans in Turkey, India, Brazil, S. Korea and other emerging markets as local currencies depreciate- 2013-2015
05/07/2012
As currencies in emerging markets, the real in Brazil, the rupee in India, the lira in Turkey depreciate in value, it becomes more difficult for borrowers in these countries to pay back loans denominated in dollars. During the period of quantitative easing policies of U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke following the financial crisis of 2008-2009, low U.S. interest rates and strong local currencies made it cheaper to borrow in dollar denominated loans than pay the higher interest for local currency loans in reals, rupees or lira.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
