Hafize Gaye Erkan resigned last night. In her resignation, she tweeted that she was subject to a character assassination campaign. I am sure there was an infighting going on, and she got caught in it. I just wonder if she works like that in the US: Like a spoiled kid. Keeping her parents right where she works. Letting her father rule in the workplace and using her baby as a constant excuse. Or could she spend 25 days abroad- most of it at Christmas time- allegedly looking for business opportunities for Turkey?
Fatih Karahan, a former senior economist at Amazon, was appointed as the new head of Türkiye’s Central Bank on February 3, 2024, replacing Hafize Gaye Erkan. Karahan, who holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, has previously worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and lectured at Columbia University and New York University. He became Erkan’s deputy at the central bank in July 2023 and is one of the country’s youngest central bank governors, having been born in 1982[1][2][3].
