The Turkish government aims to establish disinflation as soon as possible as expectations are anchored and distortion in pricing behavior is reined in, Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said in a post on social media following a meeting of the Economy Coordination Board on Tuesday. Highlights from the post:

  • "As a result of controlling the deterioration in pricing behavior and anchoring expectations with the monetary tightening process, we aim to establish disinflation as soon as possible and to reduce inflation to single-digit levels in the medium term."
