The constant depreciation of the lira and the government’s efforts to boost the economy through stimulus measures are contributing to an increase in prices, putting additional pressure on consumers.
The Turkish lira has been losing its value against major currencies for quite some time now. This depreciation has made imported goods more expensive, as the cost of foreign currencies has increased. As a result, prices for products that rely heavily on imports have been on the rise.
In addition to the weak lira, the government has implemented a stimulus programme to jumpstart the economy. While these measures aim to stimulate economic growth, they have inadvertently led to higher prices. Increased government spending and injections of liquidity into the economy have led to an increase in demand. This surge in demand, coupled with supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, has created inflationary pressure.
The rising prices are weighing heavily on consumers who are already dealing with financial uncertainty and decreasing purchasing power. With inflation eroding their income, consumers are finding it more challenging to afford essential goods and services, further straining their financial situations.
In conclusion, the combination of a weak lira and the government’s stimulus programme is driving up prices in Turkey, adding to the financial burden experienced by consumers.
