interest rates to time inflation, accelerating a decline of the lira. i asked economist l. gouge in how hard all this is hitting households and businesses. well, it took you in a deep crisis, you know, we have this huge number over 70 percent. turkey belongs to the worst performing countries in terms of inflation. on the other hand, we have this growth rate that has been announced 7 percent. but if you look on every day life ordinary trucks, people have massive problems to co with the situation. they can't basically finance their basic needs. and we know already the situation burson, over the coming month, because the policy you can on the policy is simply it is taking the wrong measures . could price pressures be slowing though? because the, the increase in inflation was smaller than in previous months. no, actually there is consensus that because char key central bag is still keeping

interest rate. the policy rates at 14 percent and we have globally, there are not only turkeys within turkey, economic aspect that need to be taken into account, but also internationally. we see that price a solid accelerating just one important factor is price is for food. for example, we know that food prices because of the russian war, are going to accelerate over the summer in autumn and inflation will increase. and additionally, the lira is getting under pressure because the central bag does not increase the interest rates. so is going to take a good lesson in economics for everyone to realize that his policy on rights only wasn't inflation. and that he shouldn't be meddling in the matter in the 1st place . absolutely, to the policy that is conducted in turkey in terms of monetary policy is

fundamentally wrong. we have declared, it's not only me, there's general criticism across the world. the central bank in turkey has to increase the interest rates. and the only reason why a turkey is doing this is, as you indicate, there is political pressure on the central bank and there are electrons next year. and the government tries to keep consumption, credit, finance consumption as stable as possible. but the consequences are unsustainable growth, increasing public deficit incomes in turkey software, they don't gain, they, there is nothing which is transmitted to the households. so it's a fundamentally wrong policy. and it sounds like the government's part of the problem rather than soviet economists aryana jen, thank you very much for your time. thank you. the german export powerhouse is starting to return to business. as usual. the monthly export increased for april
