A top Turkish economy official said Thursday that the government's commitment to the disinflation program remains "firm," suggesting also that inflation is "expected to continue falling" even in a year marked by major shocks.
"Our commitment to the disinflation program is firm. Even in a year of major shocks, inflation is expected to continue falling, and to end the year in the mid-20s," Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek said.
In a post on social media platform X, the minister noted he addressed investors at the Nomura Investment Forum Asia 2026. He also touched upon key messages shared at the Fireside Chat on "Türkiye’s New Route to Financial Stability."
"We live in a shock-prone world and a tough neighbourhood. Shocks may slow the pace of the program’s delivery, but they are unlikely to change the direction of travel," he wrote.
Türkiye, since the middle of 2023, has been pursuing a tighter monetary policy through an economic program aimed at reining in soaring prices and ensuring sustainable growth.
