Thats only for Istanbul or even in other cities ?? In istanbul its normal when have so many people and emigrants just like im london . Then thats 5x increase its aslo bacause of lira just like with other products and servives .

We should compare it with other countries:

- London / 2200 pound Salary / 2000 rent) 90%

- Mosxow / 100 000 Rub/ 70 000 rent)70%

- Athens / 1200 Eur / 500 rent) 40%

- Sofia / 3000 bgn / 1000 rent) 35%

- Ankara / 30 000 TL / 15 000 rent 50%

(So its not that bad like in london but in london those who suffers are emmigrats because native are almost all rich

Is the number of newly constructed building same as in Istanbul? In Europe, it's hard to make a construction, here in Czech republic you apply for permit but it could take up to 5 years to get it, because you shouldn't suppose to change the aesthetics of the city and old buildings are protected. On the other side, everywhere in Turkey is a construction zone.

And here I was, wondering why the US stance softened like a kitty all of a sudden. That surely explains it!

As someone who expected and predicted a massive devaluation past election, I predict no such devaluation will happen this time as reserves are better than last time (not good but still), monetary policy has changed for the better (although fdi hasn't improved) and monetary base expansion rate has slowed down (not enough).

Devaluation will accelerate, but to about twice what it is now and that for a couple of months. So I expect it to get to 38 in two months after the election but go back to being controlled to increase only by 1 tl every month. By the end of 2024, I expect it to be around 42.

 

[UkroTurk]

Don't worry for us.

This temp of rise is quite enough for us

AMK öyro 35'i geçti. Now there is no difference if currency doubled or tripled. Pensioners have been slaughtered. İmpossible to live with minumum wage. Wonderful.

What is the reason for the devaluation and how to prevent it?

Why do we buy LNG from the US instead of Qatar?
Why LNG when we have a gas pipeline from Russia?
WTF???

 

[Scott Summers]

So thats the reason the US is softening their tone. Not only Biden, but also all senators and congressmen from both the Republican and Democrat sides.

In relations with USA money is the red line. Saddam Hussein and the Shah of Iran were Washington' best friends when they bought US weapons in the 70's and 80's.

To be a bit less dependent on Russia I assume. Also, LNG is sometimes cheaper on the spot market than on the long-term take it or leave it contracts we have with the Russians.
Qatar has little capacity left, most of their clients are long term contracts. Germany has to wait like 2 years for their first Qatari gas delivery.
