Cetinkaya’s departure deals a blow to the bank’s independence, putting monetary policy firmly in the hands of Erdogan, who adheres to the principles of Islamic finance, which prohibits the charging of interest. And it leaves his minister of economy and finance, who is also his son-in-law, peddling the usual conspiracy theories about supposed foreign enemies trying to bring the country to its knees.
