NEWSRAEL: In Israel, when somebody says "Trust me" - that is a sure sign that you are about to be screwed. We am not sure, and we will ask our contacts in Turkey about this, but we are willing to wager that it's the same in Turkey. In any case, we can expect a lot more opposition to Erdogan's AKP party, and Erdogan himself in the future.
President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday Turks should be patient and trust his government's new economic model, under which he has prioritized economic growth driven by low interest rates, as the lira fell 2 percent towards record lows.
The lira's slide has been driven by aggressive monetary easing which economists and opposition politicians say is reckless. Inflation jumped to a three-year high of 21.3 percent last month.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Erdogan said price increases in Turkey were being caused by greed and import prices, adding that he would not allow what he called the “major crime” of stockpiling in any institution.

Great! His new economic model is the old economic model...keep interest rates artificially low to hide the fact that you are printing money and screwing people who actually work for a living.
He is just trying to copy what the US is doing.
Lol, low interest rates and money printing in the face of rampant inflation... where have I heard that song and dance before?
