Because the tension between Russia and Ukraine will continue to keep the energy problem in Europe on the agenda. The Euro zone is Turkey’s largest export market. The crisis to be experienced in this region will also affect Turkey. However, it is clear that the pressure on the euro will continue. On the other hand, international credit rating agency Moody’s announced that it has downgraded Turkey’s credit rating from “B2” to “B3” and changed its rating outlook from negative to stable.
