The economic crisis triggers the problem of trust, and the problem of trust triggers the economic crisis. Turkey is facing the biggest economic crisis in its history. The deep economic crisis, the decline in income, the contraction in GDP, the increase in foreign exchange and inflation, the increase in fuel oil, the food prices that burn in the bazaar-market are costing the country dearly. While the rulers of the state have lost their control against the crisis, the "survival problem", which the government has been talking about before every election, has now emerged in the current economic conditions.

Stating that the inspections last 365 days a year, Pakdemirli stated that they also make such campaigns from time to time. Emphasizing that they will carry out these inspections with 7,300 food inspectors in 81 provinces on 25-28 October, Pakdemirli said that they will share the results with the public in a transparent manner. Stating that they have a strong infrastructure and armies of auditors, Pakdemirli said:
"The best auditor is the consumer himself. Our consumer should definitely notify us about a bad situation that he/she suspects, worries or encounters personally. We have two main lines regarding this issue. Our consumers can call our Alo 174 Food Line. Apart from this, we have activated the WhatsApp line. Our consumers can also reach us at 0501 174 0174 and send their notices."
While the inadequacy and wrong interventions in economic policies caused a crisis of confidence, the power wing seems to have lost control over the events. Treasury and Finance Minister Lütfi Elvan, who is expected to resign after the Central Bank decisions and is expected to make a statement against the economic developments, maintains his silence.
Fesih Aktaş, President of the Energy Oil Gas Supply Stations Employers' Union (EPGİS), evaluated the impact of the increase in exchange rates on oil prices. Aktaş said that as the exchange rate increase continues, there is a slightly more upward trend in the price hikes. Aktaş said the following about the increase in the last months:
"There was an increase of approximately 58 kurus in gasoline after the limit of the scale mobile was filled. There was a total increase of 1 lira and 25 kurus in LPG, and an increase of 87 kurus in diesel. Unfortunately, if the product prices continue to increase until the end of the year, if there is no decline in the domestic exchange rate, a slightly higher course is seen. There is a waiver of the state as 2 liras and 53 kurus in gasoline. If it wasn't for this waiver, it would be at 11.5 now."
44 KURUS HIKE CAME FOR GASOLINE
To be effective from midnight tonight, 44 kurus hike came to gasoline. The increase in question will be reflected in the pump. The last time gasoline was increased by 37 kurus was on October 16. 14 kurus of the increase, some of which was covered by SCT due to the scale mobile system, was reflected in the pump prices. After the last hike, the liter price of gasoline increased to 8.36 liras in Istanbul, 8.44 liras in Ankara and 8.46 liras in Izmir.
