Turkey’s lira slumped to a record low against the dollar on Monday, a day after the country’s longest-serving leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the presidency in a run-off election. The currency was trading at 20.10 to the dollar at 4.48pm UAE time. The lira has dropped sharply since the start of the year despite the central bank’s interventions and other support measures.
