Consider Brazil, whose currency, the real, has been hammered since mid-2014 – much worse than most other emerging-market currencies – largely because of a major corruption scandal unfolding there. Prosecutors have revealed a wide-ranging kickback scheme centered on the state-owned oil company Petrobras and involving executives, parliamentarians, and government officials.
土耳其肯定不是金融市场误读国家政治的唯一案例。比方说巴西，其货币雷亚尔从2014年年中开始就一直遭受重创——雷亚尔所受的打击比其他多数 新兴市场货币更为严重——究其原因主要是那里发生的一次重大腐败丑闻。检察官已经揭露了以国有石油公司巴西石油为核心的涉及面极广的回扣计划，高管、国会议员和政府官员全都参与其中。因此金融市场自然被吓得不轻。
