Turkey’s year-on-year inflation for December 2023 reached 64.8%, marking the highest since November 2022 and a slight increase from the previous month’s 62%. Despite falling slightly below analyst estimates of 65.1%, core inflation surged to 70.6%, the highest since 2004, up from 69.9% in the prior month.

The notable increase in inflation can be attributed to rising transportation prices, which climbed to 77% in December from 70% in November, as well as higher housing and utilities prices, reaching 40.4% compared to the previous month’s 37.55%. Additionally, prices in the restaurant, hotels, and cafe sector experienced a marginal uptick to 93.2% from November’s 92.9%, while culture and recreation prices rose to 61.3% from 56.9%.

Food prices reached a three-month high at 72%, up from November’s 67.2%. However, month-on-month inflation eased to 2.9% from 3.3% in November.

Turkey recently announced a nearly 49% increase in its net minimum wage to around 17,000 lira (€523) before the March municipal elections, a move that could potentially contribute to further inflation. Many households are already grappling with challenges in meeting rent and basic necessities, leading to increased debt and mental health concerns.

The Turkish economy, currently deemed to be overheating, witnessed a rapid surge in inflation last year. The central bank’s aggressive interest rate cuts, following President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s second presidential victory, prioritized export competitiveness and growth over inflation control. Erdogan’s assertion that higher interest rates cause inflation justified the loose monetary policy.

The central bank later reversed its stance, raising interest rates to 42.5% from 8.5% since June 2023 when Governor Hafize Gaye Erkan assumed office. However, concerns persist that these measures may be insufficient, given that core inflation in December reached two-decade highs. The falling lira has escalated input and production costs for businesses, leading to increased consumer costs, lower wages, and rising unemployment.

The economic challenges have prompted a significant “brain drain,” with skilled workers seeking better opportunities in Europe, posing potential long-term economic consequences for Turkey. The country’s current account deficit, resulting from imports surpassing exports, has further eroded confidence in the government amid the ongoing inflation crisis.
