While the ruling party has not kept any expectations and predictions about the economy for the last few years, hopes for the future are on the scene again. While Minister Nebati almost admitted that they could reduce inflation to single digits before the elections before 2023, the government's promise of much more hope than execution made citizens give up.
Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati's statement, "Inflation peaks in January, but it will be single digits in June 2023" brought along discussions. While none of the foresight of the government in recent years has come true, it has been said that there is no hope for the future. The fact that the government constantly points to 2023 without producing solutions to the problems in the short term has also increased the concerns that "the numbers will be manipulated before the election."
HOPE SELLING INSTEAD OF A SOLUTION!
The ruling party is making all its plans for 2023. 3600 additional indicators, increases for civil servants, workers and pensioners, trying to please the heart of the citizens with increases, the government also sells hope for high inflation!
Minister Nebati said, “Inflation peaks in January, but in June 2023 it is single digits.” While he was recommending to grit your teeth for 1 year with the statement of "it will happen", the fact that it showed June 2023, the normal election date, as a solution, caused question marks.
WHY JUNE 2023?
The fact that the government made the reduction of inflation to single digits coincide with the election date caused the citizens to worry that they will make a pre-election perception. As it will be remembered, while the trust in the data of many official institutions, especially TURKSTAT, has been shaken recently, this attitude of the government already makes the inflation figures in 2023 questionable. Citizens, against Minister Nebati's statement, are asking the questions, "If you have a solution to inflation, apply it now, why are you waiting for June 2023?"
