People exchange their money at a currency exchange booth in Istanbul, Turkey, 18 August 2015. Turkey's central bank held key interest rates steady on 18 August while the lira continued to decline versus major currencies, hitting a record low against the dollar. The bank held the baseline one-week repo rate at 7.5 per cent. The lira reached an all-time low of 2.88 to the US dollar in mid-day trading and fell to 3.18 to the euro. Turkey is considered by many analysts to be a fragile emerging market, vulnerable to external shocks. (Photo by Sedat Suna/EPA)
