In his victory speech, Erdogan promised to set up a credible financial management and called inflation Turkey’s most pressing issue. Markets are trying to gauge whether the president-elect will again reverse course or double down on policies focused on cheaper borrowing costs to combat rising prices and stimulate economic growth.
In his new term in power, Turkey’s president has given little sign of change in the coming weeks and months, repeatedly stressing that he will stick to his low interest rate economic plan.
