Това съобщи катарската централна банка вчера, само няколко дни след като съюзникът на Турция от Персийския залив обеща подкрепа на стойност 15 млрд. долара, предаде Ройтерс. Споразумението, подписано от управителите на двете банки, ще създаде линия за размяна на валута, информира катарската централна банка в изявление, поместено на сайта й. Емирът на Катар одобри този месец пакет с икономически проекти, инвестиции и депозити за Турция, давайки тласък на турската национална валута, засегната тежко от криза. Инвестиции в размер на 15 милиарда долара има намерение да направи богатата арабска държава в икономиката на Турция , съобщиха от турското президентство преди няколко дни, цитиран от световните агенции.Президентът на Турция Реджеп Тайип Ердоган и емирът на Катар Тамим бин Хамад Ал Тани разговаряха днес в президентския дворец в Анкара. Двамата обсъдиха двустранните отношения и регионални въпроси. Емирът на Катар заяви, че Катар има намерение да инвестира в Турция 15 милиарда долара, посочи източникът. Анадолската агенция информира, че срещата на двамата лидери е продължила над три часа. На срещата присъства и турският министър на финансите Берат Албайрак. По време на разговорите са били обсъдени и въпроси, свързани с борбата срещу тероризма, информира турската телевизия НТВ.

Fast Facts - Since 2015, the volume of trade between both has exceeded $4.4bn - The total of Qatari investment in Turkey amounts to $8.2bn - The total of investments and trade between both amounts to $15.7bn Source: Qatar's Government Communication Office The Turkish lira rallied from record lows on Wednesday after Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said Qatar was standing by its "brothers in Turkey" as he announced a $15bn investment into the country's financial markets and banks. The emir's comments came after holding talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, Turkey's capital. After falling by more than 45 percent against the US dollar, the Turkish lira firmed as far as 5.75 against the dollar on Wednesday - a more than five percent gain - and stood at 5.90 on Thursday morning. Turkey is currently grappling with a currency crisis and heightened tensions with the United States, its NATO ally. Sheikh Tamim is the first foreign head of state to visit Ankara since the standoff with Washington began last week. "We stand by the brothers in Turkey that have stood with the issues of the Muslim world and with Qatar," Sheikh Tamim said in a tweet. "As part of the important talks that I held in Ankara on Friday with His Excellency President Erdogan, we announced a $15bn deposit package and investment projects in the country, which has a strong and solid productive economy." Erdogan and Sheikh Tamim also discussed ways to improve their strategic cooperation. "We attach importance to his visit. This visit, at the same time, is an indicator that Qatar stands with Turkey," Ibrahim Kalin, a spokesperson for the Turkish president, told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday. Salim bin Mubarak Al Shafi, Qatar's ambassador to Turkey, said his country would continue to support Turkey, adding that the emir's visit demonstrated the "depth" of the two countries' ties. "Qatar will continue to stand by its Turkish brothers as it did during the failed coup attempt in 2016," Al Shafi said, adding Qatari people purchased millions of Turkish lira to support Ankara against the "economic operation", the country is witnessing, local media reported. Strategic partners Qatar and Turkey are bound by strategic relations at the political, economic and military fronts. But the Gulf country also shares a strategic partnership with the US, hosting a military base that serves as one of Washington's most important overseas military bases with operations throughout the Middle East. Turkey is currently in the middle of a severe financial crisis with the collapse of its currency in recent days. According to local reports, the boost came after the Turkish banking regulator cut the amount of funds banks can use for currency swap trading, limiting the possibilities for speculating against the lira. Tim Ash, an analyst from Bluebay Asset Management, wrote in a client note: "Remarkable turnaround. They are killing offshore lira liquidity to stop foreigners shorting the lira." The crisis came days after US President Donald Trump announced via Twitter a doubling of steel and aluminium tariffs on Turkey, as Washington pushes Ankara to release Evangelical Christian pastor Andrew Brunson, who is being held on terrorism charges for nearly two years. On Wednesday, Turkey doubled tariffs on some imports from the US - such as passenger cars, alcohol and tobacco - in what it said was retaliation for "deliberate attacks" on its economy. Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan said the tariffs would amount to $533m. Turkish officials have also emphasised that Ankara wants to retain strong ties with Europe, which has also expressed deep unease with Trump's trade policies. "The US is our major trade partner but it's not the only one," Pekcan was quoted as saying by the official Anadolu news agency. "We have other partnerships and alternative markets." Earlier on Wednesday, Erdogan spoke on the phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Turkish presidency. He is due to speak with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday.
