Elvan Stresses No Intervention in Price-Setting

TURKEY
  • Following the establishment of a Price Stability Committee earlier in the week, FinMin Elvan has stated that the committee itself is not for price controls, and there is no intention to intervene in the market. In an interview with Dunya, Elvan stated that "we never deviate from the market economy. We do not act out of competition". Instead, Elvan states the purpose of the committee is to help counter problems found in certain industries where products are hard to find, citing the glass industry as an example.
  • According to UNWTO and UNCTAD data, Turkey were among the largest losers globally from the slowdown in tourism, losing around $93bln. The news coincides with Germany lifting its travel warnings against Turkey, who now expect an influx of as many as 3mln tourists from the country.
