How many TL is Dollar – Euro? What was the dollar exchange rate last time? Dollar/TL continues to gradually rise. Today, Dollar/TL is traded above 32.30 and Euro/TL is traded above 35.

Dollar and euro prices continued their gradual rise with the increasing demand before the local elections.

Dollar/TL started the day around 32.33. Euro/TL found buyers at 35.14.

Stating that high inflation and the expectation of a correction in the exchange rate after the local elections increased the tendency towards foreign currency, analysts stated that the demand was quite limited compared to the general elections.
