the also cut me off building a better future for slum dwellers in argentina. we look at how an investment drive is helping to pull people as of this is data of the business. i'm kate ferguson. thanks for joining me. this weekend, over 60000000 turks will go to the polls to vote in historic presidential and parliamentary elections. opinion polls suggest the vote could go down to the wire as pressing the rest of pipe ard 1. 5 to extend his to decade. a rule against unimed bold and opposition coalition led by camille coach star lute the vote is taking place them at a deep economic crisis as well as as of control inflation. the country is still reeling from a devastating earthquake earlier this year is danville, barbara. how came it came? she is a long time supporter of friendship. tie up air to one, but he won't be voting for him. this time, he blames the president's economic policies for eroding turks purchasing power.

hacking, son lives abroad, but he's unable to visit him anymore because the turkish layer has lost 30 percent of its value against the dollar since the beginning of the year. i lived alone despite i want the exchange rate to decline again. i want the price of petrol and inflation to drop and i want to go back to the life i had 5 or 6 years ago. i want to be able to go on a picnic and travel abroad, should i get any air? the one was able to maintain is voter base, thanks to strong economic growth in the 1st 10 years of his rule. but a cost of living crisis triggered by his own orthodox economic program over the past year and a half has a road as his popularity. analysts say that poses the biggest electoral challenges to his 20 year, hold on power. he badly hurt people's a pocket. and that's why i guess this election seems to be the one that he's no longer that

secure in terms of winning the election race is on the razor's edge here. and of farmers market and central assemble. everyone agrees the economic situation is dire, but they're divided on who they're going to vote for. all the government gave us the consent salary increase, but inflation is up to 100 percent of the official inflation rate. the government announces is just not true. prices have risen $34.00 times compared to what they are saying, what we're feeling oppressed. indeed, inflation is very difficult for us, but the people are at fault, not added one. and the barbara hockey mckintee has also yet to decide who to vote for among the 3 candidates standing against president air to one. let's bring in detail the report for act from aquino efram, whoever wins this election inherits

a very deep economic crisis. i want to look out a bunch of type. i don't want 1st. he's been pursuing very on orthodox economic policies. you could say, while the rest of the world, it has been raising interest rates to buffalo installation. he has been lowering them. if he wins again, can we just expect more of the same? yes, that's the shorts are short answer. so he has, he gives no sign, but he's going to back direct that this policy that has been following since it's almost 2 years now. and she's transferring behind this uh, economy policy that is going to work eventually. as you have seen does a drop in inflation which the on other side because of the bodies effects and we were talking about last year around here we were talking about 8 to 6 percent and now it came down to 4 to 3 percent, which is still a lot and he and his comic team advertise this as like you see it's working and that's actually not working. we see it on the ground receipt. we see

every, wherever you go into our key and front of the software, basically and an independent deflation research group say that that gets to over 100 percent in real life. and there are doing, has given no signs so far that he's going to back to practice is going to go back to the convention of economy policies. and she just defends that sto and he says it's going to work. so he basically says that we're going to fix it, how we have no idea. okay, same final orthodox way. all right, so let's look at the possibility of change. then the opposition comes out to mind. can you choose or what is he promising? he's basically promising, 1st reinstating the strength and the parliamentary system and abolishing the presidents. the system where you look at the words coming from the amount of one man and he promises to go back to, um, how is it, how, how does say that russian calling on make policies, meaning,

hiking interest rates and driving up for an, for an entire direct investments in tacky and, and yeah, they're jumping up to date they investments and focusing on fixing their crazy high inflation levels. so basically this is what the problem is. and we will write tennessee on sunday if this is going to, if this is going to work. if it's going to vin and but no matter what happens, it looks like it's going to take up this 6 months that you feel the effects of a possible opposition victoria in talking, in terms of economic sense. sure. and i come, i want to end with a personal question. you have family and friends in turkey. how are they coping with this? really what we can say crazy cost of living crisis, they chance basically no family into okay can cope with this, this, this type of economic reality. by only doing what they do all the time,

they keep reducing, they keep cutting from their lifestyle. they keep cutting from but even basic stuff like food and in terms of young people they received a lot of, uh, a might outward migration of uh, large amounts of scouts labor. and because people don't see future young people don't see the future as we see everywhere in the interviews as 3 to interviews. when you, when you question them in paul's, they say yeah, i don't have a future kentucky. and i'm gonna, i'm gonna look elsewhere to, to, to find a decent life basically. so it's, it's basically a very sad picture of hopelessness. and yeah, everybody's looking into the connection just, it's in people, kentucky are fix sites to this. and there are, there's a large section of sites there wanting to change. all right, so the stakes up the selection could hardly be higher outcome get you. thank you so much for your insights now to some of the other global business stories making news
