The Minister’s statement was made when monetary inflation in the country exceeded 79 percent on an annualized basis.
The minister pointed out that the support came with the appearance of the first wave of inflation in December last year, since “a package of measures was announced to support all sectors of society. Turkey showed the difference, growth increased, while it was said that it would decrease. “

“In the 1990s, when low-income people faced difficulties when they were sick, they did not have the opportunity to go to the hospital. But now low-income people believe that there is a state that takes care of them when they are sick, Nabti continued.
