Turkey: USD exchange rate

The currency chart for Turkey shows historical data for the Turkish Liras per USD exchange rate. These are monthly averages and not end-of-month currency values. An increase means depreciation against the USD as one can exchange more Turkish Liras per USD. Depreciation implies that goods from Turkey become cheaper to export and it becomes cheaper for foreigners to visit Turkey.
