I don't understand.  There's no free lunch here.  The downside is the
risk involved.  You have to repay this debt, not in your local
currency, but in USD.  If you have a BoP crunch, this will worsen it.
Unless you default, which would go to show that you're not the U.S.
Treasury.  I guess you could fool people once -- but you're already
giving it away by stating your intention i in PEN-L.  Don't expect me
to appoint you head of the Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası any time
soon.
