RAIN OF INCREASE AFTER ELECTIONS

In the three and a half months after the election, the increase in diesel prices exceeded 105 percent. The increase in gasoline prices was 95 percent.

The government, which maintained exchange rates by selling reserves and made tax cuts before the election, raised the exchange rate and made historic tax increases immediately after the election.

Fuel prices, which exceeded 10 TL in December 2021 and reached double digits for the first time, quadrupled in just 21 months and exceeded 40 TL.
