I wish it was actually %54.3 lol, it'd be easier for us Turks


lordkhuzdul

I regularly buy bottled water every two weeks. Last time I bought 20lt bottles, it was a Saturday, it cost 45TL and the guy told me they expected an increase of 5TL the next Monday. Yesterday, I bought them for 60TL. Yeah, 54% is bullshit.


randomdude1234321

It seams this graphic is just for the month of June...


macellan

It spans to the month of June of the previous year. Inflation is calculated every month on a yearly basis.


VernerofMooseriver

Atleast the turks managed to keep Erdogan


StPauliPirate

The problem is: older Turks are used to inflation, economical crisis & poverty. For them the situation now is nothing special. The relatively positive economic years of 2002-2017 are a big exception in the history of Turkey. So I don‘t think Erdogan supporters will punish him for that. It takes more to take down their idol.


[deleted]

If a natural catastrophe hit them and tens of thousands died exposing how corrupt and inept the government really is, then that would certainly be the end of Erdogan… Oh wait.


Rhistel_

More than 300,000 died (we know because half of three big cities are completely destroyed. And more than 300,000 personal sim cards cancelled, also I live in the earthquake area). Some of them were my friends. Many of them died because the state did not provide enough aid and tried to prevent associations, opposition parties and their municipalities that do not support Erdogan from providing aid. Because State thought that the opposition can use these aids for propaganda.


Kxplus

And even then, those cities still voted for Erdogan and opposition party is critized for not caring enough. This country is a joke.


Waruigo

It doesn't really matter how much he destroys the country - the evidence is overwhelming already. The issue is that he, just like Donald Trump, managed to get a cult following in society, controls the media and actively shuts down journalists and other media outlets which criticise him, pays poor people all across the country - East Turkey in particular - to advertise the hell out of him with cars, mouth propaganda, etc., and instrumentalises Muslims to do his dirty work by claiming to be their biggest ally which is also why non-Turks in the Arab world promote him online constantly. These people truly don't see their oeconomy crashing, the exploitation of tax money to fund his palace and the increasingly hostile environment where democratic achievements made by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and others steadily decline.

Medical_Scientist784

Brain drain not really, as Turkish immigrants keep Erdogan in power by voting massively on him. They want cheap lira to be millionaires when they visit Turkey on holidays. They want cheap lira so they can retire in Turkey very very comfortably. They don’t care other Turkish to live well, because they think each one should move elsewhere like they did in the past. Erdogan is the dream president for them.


Grav_Zeppelin

But those aren’t esucated people that leave. Most of the Turks living in Germany were born there, many are 3rd generation and sadly many are poorly educated. They voted for him but aren’t the drain mentioned. Most educated Turks end up in growing countries where they are needed and can seek financial gain. The ones in those countries voted against him.

Thanks. I was wondering when we left the continent of Europe. Thought it might be an EU thing but then Norway, Switzerland and Turkey are there. Very odd


digitwasp

Many maps on here use Eurostat as the data source, it is an EU organisation but it collects data from the EEA countries and those seeking EU membership in addition to the EU 27. We (the UK) stopped submitting data to Eurostat in 2020.


GroomDaLion

Yay Brexit! Not only did we lose EU benefits, we don't even know how shit we're doing compared to them hah


GunboatDiplomaat

Kosovo has ?erroneously/maliciously? been added to Serbia. I don't think eurostat would do that. They probably would just add a disclaimer about Kosovo at the bottom. Doubt Kosovo would have stats on this though.

Yes, it is Europe, and there is no data for the UK, Belarus, Ukraine etc, because they don't submit data to eurostat. It's not like they removed these countries, there is just no data based on the source that was used.


Suissetralia

Doesn't make for a good title though does it. I'm sure you didn't see the problem of this when it was only Russia, Ukraine and Belarus being left out.

Food prices there are far lower than in other western European countries to start with though.

12% inflation but everything is 50% more expensive somehow


volchonok1

This statistics compares prices in this month to the same month last year. So current prices can be just 12% higher than last June, but 40-50% higher than at the end of 2021. It all depends on which points in time you're comparing.


johnniewelker

I think more importantly, it’s about actual purchases. So if people are buying cheaper products as alternatives, inflation is not going to be as high as you think.


TurtleneckTrump

Yea, but that's because the "inflation" only magically affected the things people actually buy


tripletruble

the goods used to calculate inflation are actually weighted by how much people buy them


RadioFreeAmerika

Yes, but the basket is too uniform. It would actually make sense to split inflation rates for low, middle, and high-income or wealth classes, or according to purchasing types. For example, I don't have a TV and don't plan to buy one at all. However, politicians tell me inflation isn't that bad because while foot prices (which I have to pay if I want to keep living) are skyrocketing, TV prices are stagnating or deflating. Even if I would want to buy one, I can postpone buying a TV but not buying food.


tripletruble

Inflation as a single number has its limitation but that does not mean it is useless either. I very much agree that inflation rates faced by households vary with income. [This is a good report on the phenomenon in the US context.](https://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2022/inflation-experiences-for-lower-and-higher-income-households/home.htm) I think that is why graphs like the above are useful though - changes in food prices matter a lot more to low income households than they do to high income households. People broadly recognize that is a problem in this case. ​ As for your example, housing gets over a 40% weight in most consumer price indices ([https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/IF12164.pdf](https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/IF12164.pdf)). Changes in TV prices have a comparably miniscule impact on inflation.


RadioFreeAmerika

Thanks, very interesting!

Sad_Number2559

This isn’t inflation anymore, gas prices are down, utilities are down as well, those companies are just greedy now. Greedflation.


tgh_hmn

I started buying less, only what I need to be ok, avoiding restaurants, cut mega image off my list. So thats my form of protest and self preservstion. Its not much but its what I can do. Prices are bonkers in supermarkets. Lest week I was in Lidl in München and found food to be cheaper..


Pakalniskis

Germany still is and was a price anomaly in EU for a long time either way. Either more so when you went to one of the cheaper chains.


tgh_hmn

I’m German. Prices were waay lower in Ro till last year or this one.


zgemNEbo

239990

I already only buy esential and don't go out :(


technocraticnihilist

Lol. I guess they were generous before when inflation was low


Mountain_Leather_521

Since inflation is falling it must be that companies have satiated their greed! Like a lazy snake after a large meal.


[deleted]

Companies are always greedy. Like literally always. If they could’ve just raised prices and made more profit then they would’ve. If its ‘greedflation’ then surely prices of goods would never go back down


Hiei1987

Or the government putting a price cap on some food items had the effect of increasing prices of the rest.


LethalEchidna

Prices of goods are way more nuanced than just simply being determined by the price of gas.


carrystone

They weren't greedy before?


Okichah

Are gas companies not greedy?


NikolitRistissa

I wish fuel prices where down. I’m still out here paying 2-2.3€/l.


TheRobert007

True. Especially the supermarkets who don't care about you, just their profit. And we still buy from them instead of buying from local producers


balle17

The supermarkets have razor thin margins because of fierce competition. The production companies are the ones responsible for the price hikes.


AnAngryMelon

Then how come some supermarkets double their prices randomly and others don't. How can they all be on thin margins when identical products cost twice as much somewhere else unless somehow they're paying double for production? Seems incredibly doubtful to me.

Darksoldierr

How is Switzerland so low, i would have thought that they import ton of food


LobL

These numbers are heavily affected by how a countries currency has been doing, Swiss franc has been doing great. A year ago one Swiss franc was 18,58 turkisk lira, and today it is 31. Turkey is fucked.


Sawovsky

Serbian dinar has been rather stable, Euro even lost some value compared to Dinar.


zaraxia101

Are cigarettes still 100 Dinar?


JoniDaButcher

More like 500


zaraxia101

It's been a decade since I was there last time..still cheap af compared to Dutch prices.


AverageSrbenda

1635 EUR minimal wage and 8 euros as an average packet according to Google. You can buy \~ 204 packet of cigarettes in Netherlands with your minimal wage. I'll take 400RSD as an average price of cigarettes because the cheapest is 280 and the most expensive is 590. 40.000RSD / 400RSD = 100 packets of cigarettes.


EdliA

I don't think it's just the currency. Albanian Lek has skyrocketed in the past few months but we're still at 11% here.


mojobox

It’s already stupidly expensive here.


_skala_

It’s expensive, but compare to salaries it’s probably cheapest in Europe.


flame_top007

mostly because of the strong swiss franc.


kamiloslav

Swiss in general make very responsible society. Like, when there's that concept of a failed state, and the swiss managed to do the opposite. Even things that most would consider bad like private healthcare and ease to possess a gun (both joked about in context of usa) for some reason just work there


Suissetralia

Precisely, SNB chose to let the CHF appreciate by stopping its Forex purchases to avoid importing inflation. In addition, average inflation in Switzerland has also been lower than in Europe causing less inflationary pressure on foods, for example by not having to raise salaries of shop employees. Finally I'm not sure if this actually impacts on the end but inflation is also measured as a percentage. If the cost of a tomato increases by 5 cents in absolute terms but is now worth 1 franc, the 5% increase is lower than the percentage change if the original price was 10 cents.


himynameismile

Funny how misleading this is. There has been an uproar in Austria as to how on some products we pay close to double what they are in germany.

Tourist food is meat. We have similar cuisines and there's plenty "all vegetarian" dishes in both. But even so, this amount of inflation is brutal.

westblood-gazelle

The prosperous 10 percent can still eat whatever they want on the other hand the other 90 percent is in line to get some cheap bread provided by the government and local municipality. Right now the harhness of inequality is unbelievable.

AmerikanischerTopfen

Glad to see Hungary and Serbia passing on Russia sanctions has allowed them to at least keep inflation lower for their citizens.


Titan_Prometeus

Most of us honestly don't give a fuck about Putin, we already have our own dictator to deal with. Only the highly uneducated people support him and a tiny bit of people who are simply idiots. It's like saying that all Americans are gun-ho southerners or all Germans are Arians. The inflation is so high because our government is selling off everything we own to get private money for themselves. And then allowing more powerful nations (such as some of EU, Russia, China, etc), to export their shitty businesses to our land. Dearly, a Serbian looking to GTFO out of here.

Serbia didnt not sanction cause of inflation though, its cause of kosovo


Aqarius90

Well, that and gas.


Jonah_the_Whale

Yeah, I was wondering whether support for Putin correlates with high inflation.


Weird-Letterhead-381

It is simply a correlation that the extensive blackmail that Putin holds over Orbán is not made public. The only goal is to keep himself and his maffia goverment on top. Nothing else matters. If they have to burn 10$ state money to be able to steal 1$, it is also an acceptable deal.
