Failed Coup May Impact Turkey's Economy

from World Business Report · host BBC World Service

There are warnings investors in Turkey may be put off by a government crackdown after the failed coup. Anthony Skinner is head of political risk at the consultancy Verisk Maplecroft and tells us more. Plus we hear from aviation expert Laurie Price that recent events in Turkey may affect Istanbul's ambition to become the region's most popular air hub. Also in the programme, the British computer chip designer ARM is being sold to Japanese tech giant Softbank. Peter Cochrane from the University of Hertfordshire tells us why the Japanese firm is interested. The cost of living is soaring in Nigeria, with inflation now at 16.5%. Hauwa Mustafa is head of research at the Nigeria Labour Congress, and explains why inflation is close to an 11-year high. And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times debates the relative merits of walking, cycling and taking public transport to work in a congested city.(Picture: Istanbul's Bosphorus bridge was blocked during the attempted coup.
