FILE PHOTO: Signature of Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is pictured on a Bayraktar drone at SAHA EXPO Defence & Aerospace Exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey, October 27, 2022. REUTERS/Umit Bektas/File PhotoBy Can SezerISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish defence company Baykar is planning to complete the construction of its manufacturing plant in Ukraine in two years, its chief executive said on Thursday, after the company became highly renowned for their drones' success in thwarting Russian forces. The aerial drones supplied to Ukraine by Baykar were instrumental in Ukraine's defense against Russian armour and anti-aircraft systems in the first few weeks of the Russian invasion. Its Bayraktar TB2 drone gained so much prominence with the public that Ukrainians composed a song about it and some allies launched unprecedented crowdfunded campaigns to buy more. As part of an agreement between Turkey and Ukraine, signed just before Russia's Feb. 24 invasion, Baykar had agreed to build its second manufacturing plant in Ukraine.

At least not until the great disconnect between central banks and markets over the outlook for inflation is resolved. Central banks, markets face off over inflation/recessionWithout a doubt, the overarching market theme next year will be the battle between central banks and inflation. The trouble is, markets believe that both institutions are either bluffing or have simply not thought such rhetoric through.
