S&P: Αρνητική προοπτική Τουρκίας
Ο οίκος αξιολόγησης της πιστοληπτικής ικανότητας Standard & Poor`s υποβάθμισε την προοπτική του μακροπρόθεσμου αξιόχρεου της Τουρκίας σε `αρνητική` από `σταθερή`, διατηρώντας τη βαθμίδα όπου την τοποθετεί αμετάβλητη (BBB σε τοπικό επίπεδο, BB+ σε διεθνές). Στην αιτιολόγησή του, ο οίκος θεωρεί ότι η μειωμένη αποθεματική κάλυψη των εξωτερικών χρηματοδοτικών αναγκών αποτελεί μια πιστωτική αδυναμία και ότι το πολιτικό περιβάλλον στην Τουρκία γίνεται ολοένα και λιγότερο προβλέψιμο, κάτι που μπορεί να επιβαρύνει την ανθεκτικότητα της οικονομίας και τη μακροπρόθεσμη προοπτική ανάπτυξης...

Editing your Facebook Look Back video
This week, to celebrate turning 10, Facebook rolled out a sentimental campaign that automatically created videos for each user, based on photos and posts from the account, called Look back. My Facebook feed has been full of these videos all week.
