Turkey's new Wall Street-trained finance chief will kick off a global investment roadshow at the G20 summit in New Delhi on Friday to drum up support for his rescue plan for the troubled emerging economy. Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek told reporters he would then travel to New York and European economic powerhouses Germany and Britain to meet with dozens of top chief executives.

Turkey enjoyed booming growth during Erdogan's first decade in power.

Foreign investors began to leave the once promising market and now hold less than one percent of Turkey's bonds -- down from around 20 percent in 2015. The cost of living crisis pushed Erdogan into his first election runoff in May, which he won with the help of a massive spending pledge for his political base.

He pledged repeatedly on the campaign trail that Turkey would never raise interest rates while he was president.
