Consumer inflation in March was announced as 61.1 percent. Thus, we went back twenty years. The last time inflation was above this level was in March 2002: 65.1 percent.

Inflation surpassed Argentina as Turkey to set policy rate

The Monetary Policy Committee will convene on March 17 and announce its decision. You might smirk when you read the word “decision.” As a former Central Banker, I cannot stand to write otherwise. In fact, I had had no intention to write an article for today. This morning, I sat in front of my computer

Turkish inflation: consequences of not taking it seriously

It is routine to write the highest/lowest such and such indicator of such and such year. No surprise and I will start by explaining the inflation rates announced on January 3 with a few boring figures. The currently used consumer price index has been published since 2003.

In Turkey it is not just the minimum wage that matters

The Minimum Wage Determination Commission has been working to determine the minimum wage effective in 2022.
