Qatar pledged 15 billion U.S. dollars of direct investment to Turkey on Wednesday, to help shore up the country's financial stability during its ongoing tariff dispute with the United States.
Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani made the announcement during a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.
After the announcement and a pledge by Turkey's central bank to tighten liquidity, the Turkish lira bounced back by about 6 percent on Wednesday, after losing almost 45 percent of its value against the U.S. dollar this year.
Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin took to social media to defend the country's economy, saying the foundation of Turkey's economy is strong and that after the fluctuation it will become even stronger.
Last June, when countries including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates cut off diplomatic ties with Qatar, Turkey stood up and supported the isolated gulf state.
