It has been a matter of debate why fuel prices, which should change depending on the dollar exchange rate, have risen despite the dollar being stable for a few weeks.
With the recent hikes, the liter prices of diesel and gasoline exceeded 14 liras, while the dollar was hovering at 13,37 TL. Fuel hikes, which put a heavy burden on many sectors, put producers and consumers in a bottleneck.
THE NUMBERS ARE WORRYING
Finally, there was an increase of 52 kurus for diesel and 46 kurus for gasoline. With the hikes, the liter prices of diesel and gasoline exceeded 14 liras. As of January 20, 1 dollar increased to 13,37 TL, while the price of one liter of gasoline and diesel exceeded the dollar and remained in the 14-14.30 band.
HIKES APPLIED EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z
The unstoppable hike wave in fuel caused hikes in all items from a to z. Fuel hikes, which put a heavy burden on many sectors, put both producers and consumers in a bottleneck.
While many companies that did not want to reflect the unmanageable price hikes on their customers had to stop production, the logistics sector was also in trouble. Hundreds of sectors, especially agriculture, industry and service sectors, fell victim to the increase in fuel prices.
